#Theweekthatwas @ 20/07/2025
A bustling week had several lessons:
What you say and what others hear you say are often very different things
Being unteachable and arrogance go together like hand and glove
While confidence and arrogance can sometimes appear similar, the former thrives on feedback while the latter doesn't believe it needs it
Some people have the ability to make everybody feel like they're their best friend
We derive the most energy from doing the things we both enjoy and which we're good at
If you believe that others are always wrong and you are always right, that's a sure sign that you have some fixing to do
Winning is as much about belief as it is about skill
The human being is the one creature capable of being the most kind and also the most evil
To some, strength is knocking someone out, to others, it's walking away before the first punch is thrown
Being a critical thinker and being critical of others are not the same thing
By making a commitment public, we automatically bring accountability into the picture
We live in a world where a cheating CEO gets more media coverage than the forced man-made famine of an entire people
