If you're considering a career change but worried about taking a step backward, remember this:

It's better to lose the past 2 years of progress than to waste the next 20.

People want to be treated like people. They don't want to be treated like workers or employees or human resources or widgets. Treat people like people & everyone benefits. 12 ways to do this by @wallybock https://t.co/ewfAr3YuL7 #100RepeatTweets no. 66

It's not making mistakes that causes failure. It's the time we spend ruminating about them instead of studying how to avoid them.

It's not success that causes complacency. It's the time we fail to spend studying the conditions that fueled success and learning to recreate them.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

1 - Be Action Oriented. The person who responds to emails, rolls up their sleeves when required, and jumps into opportunities.

While others are deliberating...the bias toward action will push your career ahead faster than your peers.

The best time to take an opportunity is when it presents itself.

Not two years later. Not when the circumstances are perfect. Not when everyone says you should.

Exponential opportunities have a very short half life.

THREAD: I didn’t start participating on Twitter until I was 40 years old.

When you learn things in your 40s, it’s not too late to pretend like you figured them out in your 20s.

Here's 1,000 words on what I’ve learned about writing, creativity, and putting yourself out there:

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Students at high-achieving schools have 3-7x higher rates of clinical depression and anxiety symptoms than national norms.

Pressuring kids to succeed undermines their growth and well-being.

The price of college admission shouldn't be mental illness.

The three big decisions - what you do, where you live, and who you’re with.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The point of offering advice is not to give the right answer. It's to help people ask the right questions.

You may know what's best for you, but the task is to figure out what's best for them.

Reading is a core part of your intellectual feedback loop that feeds all parts of your ability to learn & express yourself

↪️Writing ⇄ Thinking ⇄ Reading ⇄ Doing ⇄ Speaking ⇄ Listening ↩

Each activity directly helps the next & indirectly helps any along the chain

Awsome thread on learnings from Dale Carnegie still very much relevant in today's context

[Alex Garcia 🔍 @alexgarcia_atx]

At 19, Warren Buffet completed Dale Carnegie's course saying it “had the biggest impact in terms of my subsequent success.”

It taught him how to communicate, lead, and influence people.

These 8 lessons from Dale Carnegie will teach you how to influence consumers 🧵

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

To improve your mood, exercise.

To think more clearly, meditate.

To understand the world, read.

To understand yourself, write.

To help people, help yourself.

To learn faster, have fun.

80% of meetings are a waste.

Here's a list of 13 ways to have meetings without actually having meetings:

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

Underrated idea:
Create a Work Stress Journal
Even if you don‘t normally journal

When you‘re facing a very stressful situation at work, write down the situation, how you‘re feeling, how you‘ll cope. Helps focus.

There‘s a bigger, long-term benefit from this practice.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In too many meetings, great ideas get overlooked because people fail to support them.

New data: amplifying others' ideas helps them get heard... and makes you look good.

One of the best ways to elevate the group—and earn respect—is to champion voices that aren't being valued.
