The time that leads to mastery is dependent on the intensity of our focus.

La posición del Gobierno de España ante esta coyuntura es clara y consistente. La misma que hemos mantenido en Ucrania y Gaza.

No a la quiebra de un derecho internacional que nos protege a todos, especialmente a la población civil.

No a asumir que el mundo solo puede resolver sus problemas a base de bombas.

No repitamos los errores del pasado.

NO A LA GUERRA.

This year, I wish you less — less information, less food, less entertainment, less communication, less stimulation. You already have too much of all that, and it stands in the way of your serenity, health, sleep, and creativity. Merry Christmas! ☦️

My apologies.

This time, his own intelligence community said “NO EVIDENCE” exists that Iran is building a nuclear bomb. And yet, he has gone on to execute military strikes on the basis of a claim no one has evidence of.

What’s next? We in South Africa appreciate the gravity of this sitting US president acting on claims that have no basis in facts! We too stand likely to face “attacks”, military or otherwise, because this US president believes there is a “white genocide” unfolding in South Africa. He bombed Iran for what he thinks are facilities for “building nuclear weapons”. What will he do, when he believes he must stop a “white genocide” in South Africa?

The US citizens must take to the streets and the whole world must isolate the USA to force Trump out of that office, or many more countries and innocent people will perish, including US citizens.

A basic way to avoid bad habits is to imagine how you’ll feel afterward.

It’s called episodic future thinking. Previewing the unwanted consequences of procrastinating, overeating, and doomscrolling can motivate better choices.

Your future self is wiser than your present self.

The next time you want to start a hashtag naming or nominating any person for president, remember this day.

That person must have the sinew and temperament to manage moments of this pressure level consistently and sustainably.

It is not about being good for a day. It is about being ready for D-Day any day.

That person must also be able to leverage relationships and navigate turbulent waters & vested interests.

The presidency made a good call on the team for this moment. (I assume he made that call of his volition.)

Most importantly, bravo to all those who attended this meeting on national duty to support the president.

What is clear today is this: many of the issues raised during this meeting are consequences of the failings of the ANC government. Don't argue with me. Argue with the facts.

Crime, murder, unemployment, and inequality are all a reflection of this government.

There is simply no denying that basic truth.

Now, can we please get back to the business of national building?

>>>>>>>> of course if you were expecting CR to be undressed & the nation embarrassed then the tone of the meeting must surely be a letdown <<<<<

The Seated Deadlift is the most underrated long-term lower back exercise in my opinion, and in this thread I’ll explain my main theory on the lower back pain epidemic, concluded from 15 years of observation as a coach, and helping people to hundreds of low back success stories…

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Here's my conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa).

It was an intense and heartfelt conversation, my goal for which was to do my small part in pushing for peace.

We spoke in a mix of 3 languages: English, Ukrainian, and Russian. It's fully dubbed in each of those 3 languages. The original (mixed-language version) is available as well. So the options are:
- Audio: English, Ukrainian, Russian, Original (Mixed)
- Subtitles: English, Ukrainian, Russian

It's available here on X and everywhere else. On X, I'm uploading the Full English overdub version. The other versions will be available on YouTube (see comment thread).

Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done. In fact, it is a curse to have everything go right on your first attempt. You will fail to question the element of luck, making you think that you have the golden touch. When you do inevitably fail, it will confuse and demoralize you past the point of learning

[Jordin Sparks @JordinSparks]

I’ll never get over this. So many voices singing my song!! Appreciate him taking my voice all over the world! 🤍🤍

If
by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.

[It’s Sho time @ShoMadjozi]
