Jamie Foxx is incredibly confident. As one of his close friends described to me: “Even when things go a little south, he ALWAYS makes you feel like he has everything under control. I see a lot of people in his circle gravitate toward him for that confidence, myself included.”

In my interview with him, I asked Jamie how he teaches confidence to his children, and he said that he asks his daughters to explore their fears with the question, “What’s on the other side of fear?”

His answer is always, “Nothing.”

He elaborates: “People are nervous for no reason, because no one’s gonna come out and slap you or beat you up. . . . When we talk about fear or a lack of being aggressive [holding someone back], it’s in your head. Not everybody is going to be super aggressive, but the one thing that you can deal with is a person’s fears. If you start early, if they are a shy person, they won’t be as shy if you keep instilling those things.”

Look at whatever you’re afraid of and ask, “What is on the other side of fear, if I push through this?” The answer is generally nothing. There are few or no negative consequences, or they’re temporary.

Great leaders question their assumptions and don’t respond impulsively when they’re challenged.

"Hello, I am Ranganathan Madhavan, father of Vedaant Madhavan" - no matter what one has achieved in life, it is always a moment of supreme pride for any parent when they get to introduce themselves as their child's parent #proudfather #VedaantMadhavan @ActorMadhavan

Today I met an #ITprofessional who has made it a #habit to stand and work all 5 days. While I stand and walk once in a while at #work, he does the exact opposite, once in a while when he gets tired he sits down for an hour or so, wow #healthywayofworking #healthylifestyle #health

@vilakudy yes, I think after a certain point as much as it is about the talent of your players, it is also about how cordial and openminded is the relationship between the coaches and the players.

Looks like #QatarWorldCup2022 has changed the fortunes for quite a few. @MarcusRashford is in unbelievable form & is making his presence felt in all the matches. The top 3 battle is getting closer & closer, exciting times ahead in @premierleague
@Arsenal @ManUtd @ManCity #soccer

@grassosteve $META definitely will be benefitted by such a ban, but then I believe it has had a fair share of crazy run by the last few weeks. Maybe a pull back to the $150-160 range would be a very good entry point. $SNAP is definitely looking interesting at this levels.

US #creditcard debt has hit a record $930.6 billion. I sincerely hope, wish, pray, etc etc that the #payroll numbers that came in this week are true and remain so 🙏

@grassosteve That was an amazing call, Steve. I remembering you going long when it was in the 90's. But I believe it beat your expectations too cos I remember you talking about a short term $150 target. Great call indeed!

[Shyam Menon @sbmenon78]

Well played @ManUtd! Not sure if it just happened to be so, but that decision not to touch the ball by @MarcusRashford was an extraordinaire one. #2 position is well within reach now. But @Arsenal seems to be a different league this year. @premierleague getting very exciting!
