Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty-and vise versa. Don’t read a book out of its right time for you.

From this morning's read: Laws can only do so much. You can’t legislate kindness; I can’t order you to treat me with respect. What this means for organizations is that policies are essential, but it’s also important to create cultures and norms where peop…lnkd.in/e_p5KHGR
From this morning's read: Today we need a special kind of courage. Not the kind needed in battle, but a kind which makes us stand up for everything that we know is right, everything that is true and honest. We need the kind of courage that can withstand t…lnkd.in/eKuYfNuF
From this morning's read: We all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock. Be it through contemplation, prayer, or even keeping a diary, many have found the practi…lnkd.in/e6Jvm9EY
From this morning's read: leadership is needed to help people reach from where they are to where they have never been and, sometimes, can scarcely imagine going. Without leadership, institutions drift, court growing irrelevance and, ultimately, disaster
From this morning's read: Any organisation is perpetually in transit between a past that forms its memory and a vision of the future that inspires its evolution. Along this route, leadership is indispensable: decisions must be made, trust earned, promises…lnkd.in/eTXQg985

"people tend to be more suspicious and less trusting of coworkers, managers, and public figures who decline to take sides than of those who openly express an opinion — even if it’s an opinion with which they disagree." hbr.org/2022/08/when-staying…
From this morning's read: not matching the idea of success others expect from you is only painful if that’s what you are seeking. You stand above the rat race and the pecking order, not outside of it, if you do so by choice.
From this morning's read: Sometimes, there’s a difficult and boring task to be done, and it needs to be done by you, with high levels of skill, knowledge and taste. And on those days, you need to grind it out.
From this morning's read: Almost half of a worker’s lifetime earnings are attributable to the skills that they acquire through work experience. Therefore, human capital is intimately connected with the whole experience of being in the workforce and working with other people.

On this day in 1985, we attempted the fastest ever crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in the @VirginAtlantic Challenger. Everything was going well until we found a fuel leak and capsized! We tried again a year later and managed to snatch the record: virg.in/oX7x
