Bad bosses insist that work comes first. They reward workaholism and punish outside interests. Good bosses support balance. They encourage nights & weekends off. Great bosses expect people to put loved ones above their jobs. They forbid missing important family events for work.

We shouldn’t see our opinions as cherished possessions. We should treat them like everyday clothes. Look at the views in your closet that were trendy once. Discard the ones that look silly to you now. Wear the ideas that fit you today. Be ready to outgrow some of them tomorrow.

The most important reason to treat people well is not what you'll get in return. It's who you hope to become. Kindness is not about reciprocity or karma. It's about character. Civility doesn't need to be justified with consequences. Respecting others is the right thing to do.

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.

Powerful list that I will use in my curriculum with HS students (re: leadership development). Great post as always @ValaAfshar 🙏👍

#Resilience. Suffering builds character. This is worth the watch.
JENSEN HUANG: “Resilience matters in success. I don’t know how to teach it to you, except for: I hope suffering happens to you .. because .. greatness comes from character. And character isn’t formed out of smart people. It’s formed out of people who suffered.” $NVDA @ValaAfshar

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity. If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity. If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
