I haven't got many followers, I'm not sure if anyone listens to me on Twitter. Today I got my second assignment results back as a mature student in @UCC I left school at 15 after being beaten by teachers & kids & being told for years I was stupid. Both were A - I'm overjoyed!!

This might be controversial and I know results aren’t what we expect but I’m actually enjoying watching @ManUtd again for the first time since Ole. Pride passion skill and playing for the badge. @Amaddiallo_19 perfect example of that. Love him and the rest and the spirit is back.

I'm excited for this. It's a whole new way of looking at TED Talks. We get to see the full journey -- the drama and stress of preparing for a talk all the way through to a thrilling moment afterwards in which the idea sparks something real. Please share this!
At TED, we believe that ideas change everything — and that they can come from the most unexpected places. Here’s @TEDChris to introduce our brand new TED original series, “My Big Idea.” Coming Tuesday, 3/25 to TED’s @YouTube channel. Subscribe here: https://t.co/F6YMOHpgiw

So much wisdom and value in this tweet from the wonderful @tferriss
“What could possibly be more important than your kid? Please don’t play the busy card. If you spend 2 hours a day without an electronic device, looking your kid in the eye, talking to them and solving interesting problems, you will raise a different kid than someone who doesn’t

Whoop whoop….
As you might have noticed, I'm into the idea of infectious generosity. But this, from the amazing @tomcledwyn and @johnmsweeney, is truly next level. They're giving away $500 a pop to people online. Maybe you?!

It costs €0.00 to remind your friend or even a stranger they aren't alone in this world. Remember that.

One of the most misleading sayings in business is “Never mix family with business,” or “Don’t go into business with your friends.” But who else are you going to trust? When I work with someone I trust, they naturally become my friend over time. In business, people don’t hide
