If you reach a goal by compromising your values, you haven’t succeeded.

If you fall short of a goal by upholding your values, you haven’t failed.

The highest form of accomplishment is standing by your principles when they’re tested.

Es gibt viele Menschen, die sich nicht deutlich und verständlich ausdrücken können. Frau Brosius-Gersdorf gehört nicht dazu.
Wenn Mann ihre recht neutral faktischen Aussagen nicht versteht, stellt sich die Frage, ob es wirklich am Intellekt scheitert oder man sie absichtlich falsch versteht?

Go big or go home too often and you often end up home—stuck on the couch either injured, ill, exhausted, or burnt out. Go small and steady on the regular for a long period of time and you often end up with something big.

Eine der größten PR-Aktionen des Innenminister #Karner war 2024 die verstärkte Anwendung von DNA-Tests beim #Familiennachzug.

Jetzt zeigt sich das Ausmaß der Farce.

It’s wild that some of the richest ppl who ever lived, in one of the richest nations that ever existed, feel so completely “cheated” by some of the poorest nations in the world..

If it was in a book, I woulda considered it exaggerated for effect.

What a shame
President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump held a 45-minute-long press briefing in the Oval Office that ended in a heated argument about American aid to Ukraine.

Some people soften the harshest reality with their presence.

How lucky to stumble upon such a soul; how warm they make you feel.

Productivity is overrated. What counts most is the quality of output, not the quantity.

People may be impressed by the volume you produce, but impact depends on the value you create.

Success is not about getting more things done. It's about doing more worthwhile things well.

The most important quality in a mentor, teacher, or coach is not how much they know. It's how much they care.

Caring is more than taking pride in your success. It's feeling joy as you progress.

The people you want in your corner are the ones who celebrate your growth.

Lately, quite a lot of people have been asking me what they can do to #resist the authoritarian shift in their country. In my Daily Brief today, I set out 3 ideas to get folks started:

A game changer in hiring for me was when I realized, it’s about being sufficiently convinced that a person can thrive and succeed in this role.
And not just about „not“
finding ironclad evidence that the person would not succeed.
💯 Hiring for skills is shortsighted. Hiring for mindset, adaptability, growth & development potential and personality is winning the long game.

Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others.

Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, integrity, curiosity, humility, and wisdom.

My heart goes out to all Syrian people who hope for a better future in their home country!

The future will tell how this will turn out, but it is a hopeful moment to see that regimes based on torture and horrific violence can come to an end.

Twitter behavior that I’m missing most here:

„Scrolling up“ in the timeline instead of jumping to the latest tweet and reading backwards.

Any other thoughts on this?
