There comes a time, when we heed the call... when the world must come together as one. Those powerful lyrics from the 1980s hit song: WE ARE THE WORLD. https://t.co/YXiEy5AkWC… perhaps the same global urgency for #COVID19

It’s an honor to be tied with Sam Snead for most wins in @PGATOUR history. Thanks Mom and Pop and everyone who helped make this possible. Hideki put up an amazing fight on his home soil, but to do this in Japan is something I’ll never forget. It’s been an awesome year.

It’s easy to get discouraged. Everyone has disappointments, but if you’ll stay in faith, not get bitter, God is going to bless you in such a way that you don’t remember the pain of the past.

A big NBA & Golden State Warriors fan, Rwandan President, Paul Kagame @PaulKagame attended the Warriors’ 104-100 victory over Houston Rockets in Game 1 Playoffs. Rwanda will have a professional club in NBA’s new 12-team Basketball Africa League when it debuts in Jan 2020! #Rwanda

Spoke to @TigerWoods to congratulate him on the great victory he had in yesterday’s @TheMasters, & to inform him that because of his incredible Success & Comeback in Sports (Golf) and, more importantly, LIFE, I will be presenting him with the PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Congratulations, Tiger! To come back and win the Masters after all the highs and lows is a testament to excellence, grit, and determination.

A close friend recommended Daniel Shapiro’s book: “Negotiatjng the Nonnegotiable.” Quote below triggered her interest in reading it: “He reveals the hidden power of identity in fueling conflict, and presents a practical framework to reconcile even the most contentious situations"

1st time in 5 yrs I spend a relaxed Super Bowl Sunday with my sons without hosting Int’l students for SB dinner at my house with other profs. Sometimes life teaches us that acts of generosity ought be reversed to ourselves, too. Remember the adage: “No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!”

[Yusuf Kalyango @Prof_YKalyango]

To start 2019 anew & mindful, just started reading a book gifted to me titled ‘Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead,’ by Dr. @BreneBrown - Thnx to her iconic work in courage, embracing vulnerability, shame & empathy🙏🏾

“In the long run, however, punishment does not actually eliminate behavior from a repertoire, and its temporary achievement is obtained at tremendous cost in reducing the over-all efficiency and happiness of the group.” by Psychologist, B. F. Skinner.

[Yusuf Kalyango @Prof_YKalyango]

“We instinctively attack anyone whose behavior displeases us - perhaps not in physical assault, but with criticism, disapproval, blame, or ridicule. Whether or not there is an inherited tendency, the immediate effect of the practice is reinforcing enough to explain its currency.”
