I heard [people] sayin’ they made Hov | Made Hov say, “Okay, so make another Hov”…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *JG* The Warm-Up: “Usually, when people talk about the ‘strength’ of black women…they ignore the reality that to be strong in the face of oppression is not the same as overcoming oppression, that endurance is not to be confused with transformation.” ~Bell Hooks The Core: “I forgive you, but my price went up.” ~Michell C Clark “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” ~Audre Lorde “Today is difficult, tomorrow is much more difficult, but the day after tomorrow is beautiful. Most people die tomorrow evening.” ~Jack Ma “Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.” ~Roy T. Bennett “If you want to bring something to your workplace that will be transformative, bring a high level of energy. That stuff is infectious.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “At various stages of your life, you start thinking that this time, you have things figured out, then you are proved wrong once again. Stay humble, or life will humble you.” ~Orange Book “Hard work doesn’t come with guarantees of success; it takes mental stamina for a player to have faith and persevere with focus even when he can’t see the finish line.” ~Idan Ravin, The Hoops Whisperer “The ultimate answer to the question ‘Why read?’ is that only deep, constant reading fully establishes and augments an autonomous self. Until you become yourself, what benefit can you to be to others?” ~Harold Bloom “Less stress or improving your resilience overall. Improving your diet | eating habits. Getting proper rest and sleep. Dialing in your emotional state. Workouts can honestly be the last thing you add on to improve your health.” ~Joe Holder “Been doing a bunch of hiring. Key lesson: Good people speak in specifics. Even if they can talk big picture, they can also put their boots to the ground and speak practically about the work. Beware of charismatic people who only speak in lofty abstractions.” ~David Perell “Sometimes, the opportunity isn’t the money, it’s the ability to turn it down if it’s not in alignment with your values, thus creating two opportunities. 1) Do the right thing and not compromise. 2) Create the space for an even bigger payout based on your intuition & merit.” ~Matt Gottesman “It is a big thing to ask someone who doesn’t understand. But he understands. He has the eyes. He has the voice of the uncertain. He has his own secrets. And if there is one thing the lost are able to recognize it is the others who are just as wounded and wandering.” ~Michael Farris Smith, Nick “Competence can be gauged from a distance. Character is best observed up close. Skills are visible in the work people produce. You don’t know their values until you see how they treat others. What people say reflects how they want to be seen. What they do reveals who they are.” ~Adam Grant Last Set: “Sometimes, we believe our prayers have gone unanswered because we can’t see desirable changes in our life. But have you ever considered that you might have been protected or saved from further pain and chaos? The things we ask for often come wrapped in different packaging.” ~Vex King Food For Thought: “The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.” ~Garry Kasparov :: We appreciate your readership. You can learn more about the MML here.
