Graduation looks like an ending — it really isn't. It's the start of a harder, more important question: not just what they're going to do, but what their life is actually for. I’ve been thinking about that a lot in recent years, and it's part of why I wrote my new book, The Meaning of Your Life.

If you have a graduate in your life and you’re looking for something worth giving them, consider getting them a copy.

@ProfEmilyOster Thank you for this article. I’m tired of “optimization” advice that feels discouraging, like Stacy Sims saying long bike rides after 40 are a waste, or Rhonda Patrick pushing mostly high-intensity workouts, 4x4, instead of the comforting, sustainable 5K runs I’ve always enjoyed.

@TheFP @nfergus Latin America is not America’s “backyard,” but a region of 20 sovereign nations.
Geopolitical analysis requires precise terminology:
“neighboring countries,” not “backyard.”

A powerful and moving article to start the year — highly recommended.

Eve Baer never stopped believing that her son, unresponsive for decades after a severe brain injury, was still there. Eventually, science proved her right. @sarahzhang reported in Mary: https://t.co/5E30mAVp3n

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

Don’t just manage your time. Manage your attention.

Most professionals believe the battle is for time. But in my experience - and in the data - the deeper struggle is attention.

Researchers found that people who set clear intentions in the morning were significantly more likely to follow through on goals related to work, fitness, and self-improvement. Their behavior didn’t just reflect time management; it reflected attention management.

In a separate study, published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms, researchers found that those with later sleep patterns (night owls) were more prone to emotional suppression and less effective at regulating focus and stress.

Why does this matter? Because attention is a well-being issue.

The most resilient professionals, those who lead effectively under pressure, are those who learn to direct attention with discipline. Not just across hours, but across domains toward purpose, relationships, renewal, and meaning.

Ask not how much time you have, but what is truly worthy of your attention.

Tariffs are simply taxes. Conservatives once united against new taxes. Taxing trade will mean less trade and higher prices.

“At the end of the day, the only thing that you truly can control is where you place your attention and where you place your effort”, says Dr. Andrew Huberman. And reading can enhance your speaking ability.

@cryptogba85 @KLM Hola! Nos pasó lo mismo al vuelo de México-Ámsterdam del 28/08. Si recuperaste tus maletas? Y los demás del vuelo?

[Laura Lima @laura_lima]

@mbraverman1 @KLMline_ Hola Moises, el mismo caso, en el vuelo del 29 de Agosto 686 de México a Ámsterdam, recuperaste tus maletas?

[Laura Lima @laura_lima]

@RossyGeifman @KLM Hola! Yo he viajado por @KLM en el vuelo 686 México-Ámsterdam también y la misma situación, no llegaron las maletas de nadie. Tu pudiste recuperar tu maleta?

“I appeal for an end to the death penalty, which is always inadmissible since it attacks the inviolability and the dignity of the person. We cannot overlook the fact that, up until his or her very last moment, a person can repent and change.”

It’s been a mystery why Roman concrete often lasted thousands of years, but ours decays in mere decades.

Turns out they incorporated chemicals in a process that induces self-healing; scientists at MIT just figured this all out - in 2022.

Extraordinary.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Today as then, Jesus comes into a world that does not welcome him (cf. Jn 1:11), that rather rejects or ignores him, as we do so often with foreigners and with the poor. Let's not forget the refugees, the marginalized, people who are alone, orphans and the elderly, prisoners.

[Papa Francisco – ARCHIVO @Pontifex266_es]

Cuando se está en crisis no hay que decidir apresuradamente, según el instinto, sino que, como San José, es preciso “considerar todas las cosas” y apoyarse en el criterio principal: la misericordia de Dios. #EvangeliodeHoy (Mt 1,18-24)

[Papa Francisco – ARCHIVO @Pontifex266_es]

Os invito a rezar, delante del pesebre, para que la Navidad del Señor lleve un rayo de paz a los niños del mundo entero, especialmente a los que están obligados a vivir los días terribles y oscuros de la guerra.
