Read time: 1 minute, 367 words. A man is brought into the emergency room after an accident. He is bleeding badly. A doctor rushes over and prepares to treat him. Before the doctor can begin, the man interrupts. "Wait," he says. The doctor tries to stop the bleeding, but the man keeps talking. By the time the questions end, it is too late. I think about this whenever I catch myself stuck. So many situations do not require more understanding. Sometimes the problem is not a lack of clarity. The hardest part is realizing you already know enough to begin.ββ ββ-Kabir Seven Point Sunday - February 15 βEsther Perel β Psychotherapist, author, speaker, and organizational consultant whose work spans clinical practice, writing, podcasting, and advising companies on relationships at work. β‘οΈ Productivity βKosmik - visual thinking and research tool designed for collecting, connecting, and making sense of ideas.

The ones who said,"We will be out by Christmas." Then Christmas came and went. Then Easter. Then Thanksgiving. Then Christmas again. They died of broken hearts.

Read time: 1 minute, 337 words. Valerie Plame spent years working undercover in places like Athens and Brussels. Even many friends and acquaintances did not suspect. Her husband later explained how she did it: Most people are interested in talking about themselves. That detail stayed with me. The more you talk about yourself, the less you learn. The more interested you are in other people, the more they open up. Curiosity is a kind of skeleton key. Try that the next time you go to an event....
Read time: 1 minute, 305 words. Today is March 15. The Ides of March. So I find myself thinking about Julius Caesar. Not how he died. But how he once got kidnapped by pirates. They demanded 20 talents for his release. He laughed. He told them to ask for 50. Even as a hostage, he refused a discount on himself. Maybe confidence is not optimism.
