Staggering numbers by the Lancet. Vaccinations have:
- Averted 154 million deaths
- For every death averted, 66 years of full health were gained on average = 10.2 billion years total
- Accounted for 40% of the observed decline in global infant mortality

60 years ago, a group of brave civil rights organizers marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in the pursuit of justice and equality. Today we’re reminded of their courageous sacrifices, and tasked with the responsibility of doing what we can to carry forward their work.

President Carter taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man. barackobama.medium.com/our-s…

💬 "You" vs. "We"—which pronoun is more persuasive?

But "you," by seeming aggressive, can weaken one's message now and in future encounters.
"We" is stronger than "you.”

That is junk science.
His HR dropped, mostly because the game need and he stopped moving…and kept himself relatively calm.

When @slingerland20 was learning how to salsa dance, his instructor kept telling him to relax. There was just one problem.
“The more she told me to relax, the tenser I got."

Simple —> Complicated —> Simple
At first things appear simple. As you learn more they become complicated. As you learn even more, they become simple.
Simplicity on the other side of complexity is understanding.

Having a healthy relationship with the thing you do can actually make you better at the thing you do.
1) Parents prioritizing values over goals
2) The trap of "I'll be happy when..."
3) Sport as a vehicle, not the destination.

There’s a cruel joke that tennis plays.
One year, you are the shiny new thing, blasting away at veterans, soaking up the love.
The next, you're target practice.

I'm not a big fan of instant vulnerability culture. I'd like to choose who I wish to be vulnerable with and when. There's this cultural notion that immediately telling complete strangers everything that has ever happened to you is so wonderful. Manufactured intimacy is not real.
