It's not about how hard you swing your bat.
It's about swinging over and over again till you learn to hit it out of the park.
Consistency gets you places hard work doesn't.
Things I know at 28
I wish I understood when I was 18:
It's not about how hard you swing your bat.
It's about swinging over and over again till you learn to hit it out of the park.
Consistency gets you places hard work doesn't.
Too many people never try hard things because they think confidence is a precondition when, in reality, it's a reward.
Successful and unsuccessful people have the same goals.
You never rise to the level of your goals. You always fall to the level of your habits.
Goals are just dreams. Habits make them a reality.

Let's face it ― most of us would rather be wrong with the crowd than be right alone.
Learning to overcome your constant need for social approval is the first step to growth.
Take ownership of your life.
Never complain. Never blame others.
Everything you are thinking and feeling is your responsibility.
Pros learn to be happy despite everything that's going wrong in their lives.
Having 5 friends who love you to death is better than having 50 who sort of like you.
1. Pick people who enjoy spending time on the same things as you.
Otherwise spending time together is going to feel like a chore after a while.
2. Opposites attract but they don't last.
Find someone that aligns with you on the important stuff.
Instead, find someone who multiplies you and your strengths.
Think of all the people go through a bad breakup and develop trust and commitment issues for the rest of their lives.
Don't let temporary lessons become your permanent reality.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi

fascinated by this man, mario cortellucci, and his outsized influence on ontario and GTA politics. cortellucci, who lives in vaughan and ran as a far-right candidate for the italian senate back in 2018 - is a major ford donor...
his name might sound familiar because the new cortellucci vaughan hospital at mackenzie health, the one doug ford has been touting lately as a covid-centric facility, is named after him and his family
but his name also pops up in a LOT of other ford projects. for instance - he controls the long term lease on big parts of toronto's portlands... where doug ford once proposed building an nfl stadium and monorail... https://t.co/weOMJ51bVF
cortellucci, who is a developer, also owns a large chunk of the greenbelt. doug ford's desire to develop the greenbelt has been
and late last year he rolled back the mandate of conservation authorities there, prompting the resignations of several members of the greenbelt advisory
