The secret to going on is not just endurance. It is pairing it up with recharging, and self-nourishment.

The less spoken second half part of the quote “a word to the wise is sufficient” is “but for a fool, not even a stick helps.” This second part reiterating that nothing but few, well chosen words are needed to make impact.

Things I was told/asked today at a *professional networking* event today: “You’re wearing the colour lavender really well.” “Is your husband the CEO of your company?” “Are you ISLAMIC?” “Convince your husband to let you move to Dubai.” 🙄🤣 #CasualSexism #CasualBigotry

Recently came across a website of resources for women founders. 70% were learning/mentoring programs. Don’t get me wrong, I wanna keep learning. But there need to be equal (if not more) interventions to fund us, award us and the very basic (which is often missed) acknowledge us.

Petition to Laxman Narasimhan: 1st order of business at Starbucks NEEDS to be renaming “Chai Tea Latte” to “Chai” or “Tea Latte”. Tea lovers over the world have been saying “Tea Tea Latte” for too long.

Changing your netflix⁷ password is the new keeping your ex’s book post breakups (friend b/u included). Millennial me still thinks keeping books is worse. My 1st edition Harry Potters available only at select stores bought after standing in 2 hour long lines can never replaced.

Colleges are largely a zero sum game for credentials, an activity which doesn’t necessarily “educate” you.

The difference between education and indoctrination is that the former empowers you to seek the truth, recognise it when untruths are abundant, helps you to consider ideas you didn’t previously believe in when exposed to them & comfortably change your mind.
