@tobi Excellent insights

The idea that you can go back in time and erase all traces of #colonialism is unrealistic. But the fact we received certain legacies from our ancestors doesn't mean we have to behave like them!

The most powerful paradoxes of life:

1. The Failure Paradox

You have to fail more to succeed more.

Our transformative moments of growth often stem directly from our toughest moments of failure.

Don't fear failure—learn to fail smart and fast. Never fail the same way twice.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A sign of emotional intelligence is refusing to let feelings dictate decisions.

Feelings are electrical signals in the brain. We don't choose every sensation, but we are responsible for how we react.

Emotions are rarely calls to action. They're usually cause for reflection.

@Grady_Booch Wellsaid

The most toxic relationships aren't the purely negative ones. They're the mixed ones.

It hurts more to be let down by people you sometimes like than by people you always dislike.

If you can't fix an ambivalent tie, it may be time to shield yourself.

@imtomgilb Very insightful!

Clearly we are many feeling the software engineering discipline needs a shake up. We want to get rid of Method Wars and Gurus. We describe 5 crazy things and how we can eliminate them. It is just science!

Words of wisdom!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In toxic cultures, being a workaholic is normalized and sacrificing sleep is glorified. The best way to get ahead is to burn out.

In healthy cultures, quality of life is expected and having a life is celebrated. You're encouraged to put your well-being above your work.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Many people see grief as pain. They avoid it, suppress it, or race to process it so they can expel it from their lives.

Here’s a beautiful alternative: grief is unexpressed love.

Holding onto it is a way of staying close to the people we’ve lost.

Biden on the possibility of losing: "It could say that I'm a lousy candidate, that I didn't do a good job. But I think, I hope that it doesn't say that we're as racially, ethnically and religiously at odds as it appears the president wants us to be."

It was today, just 74 years ago, that South Asians gained the right to become American citizens.

July 2nd is a reminder of what we've endured to get the rights we have now, how easily they can be taken away, and how hard it is to win them back.
