Simone Biles taught a valuable lesson at the Olympics:
Overcoming adversity takes time. Resilience is not about how quickly you bounce back—it’s about how fully you recover.
You can’t judge people’s strength when they fall. Their fortitude is visible when they rise again.

What stops us from speaking truth to power is not a desire for harmony. It’s a climate of fear and futility.
When leaders fail to make it safe and worthwhile to be honest, we bite our tongues.
Weak leaders stifle dissent and leave themselves weaker. Strong leaders welcome dissent and make themselves stronger.

Hi Sara, thanks for cc-ing me. I found @cspencer1508's book really powerful. I am hearing more and more voices speaking up which is so important. You might be interested in the interview I did with Charles a month ago. youtu.be/NJBGrRdgKm8

Fifteen years. Five prime ministers, seven chancellors, eight foreign secretaries, twelve culture secretaries and sixteen housing ministers.
A thread, for #RantyTuesday.

When you turn down a request, you’re not obligated to explain why. Other people aren't entitled to know your reasons and priorities.
Being courteous is not about justifying your decision. It's about showing gratitude for the invitation.
"Honored to be asked. Sorry to miss it."

Keeping an open mind is not about lacking moral conviction. It’s about maintaining intellectual humility.
The people who leave their echo chambers are the ones who know their knowledge is incomplete.
A key to lifelong learning is engaging with others who disagree with you.

The world is spiritually starving. We want more deep conversations. More connection to how our ancestors lived. More work that actually positively impacts people's lives. When humans are made to be machines, addiction and depression are the natural result.

Insecure people always need to be heard. They aim to prove their knowledge and feel important. They seek status by getting attention.
Secure people are happy to listen. They want to improve their knowledge and make others feel important. They earn respect by giving attention.

In cultures of politeness, dissent is a threat to social harmony. People nod and smile even if they disagree, and silence fuels groupthink.
In cultures of integrity, dissent is a sign of commitment to quality. People voice their views, and respectful debate improves decisions.

After all the corruption we've seen from the Tory party and everything they've done to bring our NHS to its knees, Sunak dares to suggest it's the sick who can't work who are the problem? The very people he and his party have let down so badly? The sheer nerve of it.
"We can't allow fraudsters to exploit the natural compassion and generosity of the British people."
PM Rishi Sunak announces there will be a crackdown on fraud as part of his 'moral mission' to reform the welfare system

What do you think?
Is the pursuit of longevity, perhaps, at risk of missing the essence of life itself?
In this week's brand-new podcast conversation with @DrGaborMate, we explore how focusing on growing in wisdom and appreciating the present moment may matter more than our desire for a longer life.

The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader.
Regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime.
It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion, and start valuing quality over quantity.

This is a wonderful and timely message from the amazing @PeteOlusoga
"Your exams are important, but you're more than just a student."
@PeteOlusoga talks about the importance of #selfcare during your revision and exam period.

Being in a bad mood is not a license to be unkind. Being sensitive is not an excuse for being abusive.
Respect is a social responsibility. Treating it as optional reveals a lack of concern for others.
A mark of character is maintaining civility when things don’t go your way.

This video created by psychological professor Richard Wiseman demonstrates the power of perspective in creating illusions. It's titled Assumptions.
