It's not all doom and gloom. As the great Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "It's always the right time to do the right thing." Let's do this SF!!!! https://t.co/vppQpKTH6f… Thank you

"The courage to start.
The discipline to focus.
The confidence to figure it out.
The patience to know progress is not always visible.
The persistence to keep going, even on the bad days.

That's the formula."

Pessimists see problems. They worry about what could go wrong in the future.

Optimists see possibilities. They focus on what could go right in the future.

Proactive people turn problems into possibilities. They give us reasons to be optimistic about the future.

“SF survived earthquakes, fires, assassinations, serial killers, political scandals, AIDS, drug epidemics, social unrest and Metallica cutting their hair. It will survive Fox News. It’s humans who need help. They’re not trash to be taken out.”

Every great city was once a struggling city that refused to give up. It took vision, innovation, and the courage to turn things around. We can do this!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Admitting that we have something to learn doesn’t just show humility. It improves relationships.

When we acknowledge that we don't know everything, others feel more psychologically safe—and become more effective.

Expressing our desire to get better can help others get better.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others.

Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods.

There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Judging people by their current abilities masks their future potential.

Progress depends less on talent than motivation and opportunity.

Growth is not about the natural gifts you have—it's about the character you build.

5 keys to happiness:

1. Do good for others
2. Find beauty in the mundane
3. Focus on what you can control
4. Memento mori (life is short)
5. Love the people that are in your life while they're in your life
