The cure for ignorance is not information. It's humility and curiosity.

Facts can be easily dismissed. What motivates people to gain insight is recognizing gaps in their understanding and wanting to find out more.

The root of lifelong learning is knowing how little we know.

[James Cham @jamescham]

Eric Schmidt, Bill Campbell, Randall Collins and Rebecca Hinds agree: the great leaders give energy.

It’s sad that this is the response I mostly get from colleagues 😢

@work_matters @jamescham Easily my most shared quote of the year: "The best leaders are TRUSTEES OF OTHERS TIME, friction fixers with the will and skill to make the right things easier and the wrong things harder for others"

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Success is not about finishing everything you start. It’s about knowing when to grit and when to quit.

235 studies: When people adjust their goals and plans in the face of challenges, they make more progress—and feel less depressed and anxious.

The ultimate flex is flexibility.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

"Don't bring me problems, bring me solutions" doesn't eliminate problems. It stops people from raising the hardest problems.

Leaders need to hear what's broken even if the fix is unclear.

A better option: “Bring me problems, as long as you’re willing to be part of the solution"

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Relying heavily on AI doesn’t only stifle critical thinking. It constrains creativity too.

New evidence: People generate more original ideas when they consult AI sometimes, rather than extensively or rarely.

Independent thought is a foundation of ingenuity.

For years archaeologists have debated what the Incas used these holes for. The latest theory is that they’re an outdoor accounting system, like a giant spreadsheet. (📸: Bruno7)

Satya Nadella on why Microsoft Excel has been so durable after 40 years:

> the power of lists and tables
> the malleability of the software (“a blinking canvas”)
> spreadsheet software is Turing complete (“I can make it do everything”)
> it’s the world’s most approachable programming environment (“you get into it without even thinking your programming”)

There's a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wise-cracking is simply calisthenics with words. DOROTHY PARKER

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A mark of wisdom is being quick to change your opinions but slow to change your principles.

It takes openness to update your views. It takes integrity to uphold your values.

A key to growth is raising your understanding without lowering your standards.
