What if one day every motorist in Dar decided to compromise and let other vehicles or people pass where they are meant to? My guess is we may change the world that day.

Emotion regulation is not about denying your feelings. It's about choosing a constructive response.
Victimhood is blaming others for what you feel. Regulation is taking responsibility for how you react.
A key to resilience is expanding the space between stimulus and response.
Funny that when I was growing up, citizens trusted their leaders on stats. Now citizens need to fact check their leaders. What then do leaders bring to the table other than their personalities?

Recent chat highlight - "planning not to grow is planning to die slowly" seems to be a capitalist fallacy. I know several small, boutique, low footfall businesses that have lasted 30+ years in volatile economies and would never change a thing.

Progress rests on the shoulders of unreasonable people.
Dear Savage Beast.
Throughout his career, Dr. Salim faced strong opposition and was ridiculed with insults. The hate mail he received after the successful campaign for restoration of the People's Republic of China lawful rights in the United Nations demonstrates the verbal abuse he endured during that period.

Mental health is not about being happy all the time. It's about learning to handle the full range of emotions.
It's normal to feel grief after loss, anger at injustice, and fear in danger.
Resilience lies in putting our feelings in perspective instead of letting them define us.
There is no validation greater than a happy customer who will go out of their way to tell you that they are happy.

We're entering an age of youth scarcity. Every major economy is running out of young workers. Every region except one: Africa. Why does this matter? 🧵
Sales matters because it teaches you that in order to live, breathe, eat among people you need to give and take, and that requires compromise. Sales is not just about selling something and making money. Sales is about learning your fellow man and having them learn about you.

Not sure where the ethics are in the celebration of a company that makes makes record earnings off cancer drugs. Where is humanity when we are profiting from suffering?

Think for yourself. Don't let the media (including social media) think for you. Use social media as an op-ed, but take time to think core facts through on your own. School should be taken with the same grain of salt. Facts can be made up. Learn to use your gut to evaluate them.

Dear @photomatt,
We love WordPress. It’s not just software; it’s a livelihood for thousands of developers, freelancers, and small agencies. We don’t have millions like you do—every change, every piece of WPdrama costs us time, clients, and money.
We need stability. We need to focus on building, supporting, and growing businesses, not worrying about the next big upheaval or leadership conflict. Let’s move toward clarity, collaboration, and transparency.
Please consider pausing the current direction to listen. The community wants a strong future for WordPress—one where everyone, from volunteer contributors to top-level sponsors, can work together without fear of losing what we’ve built.
We don’t ask this lightly. Our livelihoods depend on it.
Thank you.

I always paid attention to logic, punctuation and grammar in my emails. Now I feel like everyone I write to thinks I'm using ChatGPT.

Not so sure Sales is a declining job but the rest makes sense. I recall the WEF having nursing and teaching as rising fields as well a few years ago - I wonder if they would still rate these highly (I would). Thanks @gauremdee

Please show me a remittance service that sends cash from Africa to the world instead of the other way around.
