“Not just anywhere. Here.” - @cmcdavid97

“I don’t need a break, or a fresh start. I just want to be in Edmonton, playing hockey. I want to get back there again, whatever it takes. If that sounds like a robot, then I guess I’m a robot.” Connor McDavid, in his own words. theplayerstribune.com/connor-mcdavid…

Thanks for everything, Brett 💙🧡 #LetsGoOilers

@JWLevitt Two nights in Canmore is a great choice. I have a couple ideas depending on what you’re thinking. Hotel? Airbnb?

Does anyone have winter lodging recommendations for Canmore, Alberta? Heading to Banff in January and thinking about two nights in Canmore too.

Stoked to see the Edmonton Oilers heading back to the Stanley Cup Finals! I first spoke with Edmonton back in 2016 thanks to former Boston Bruin and fellow @Nov_Project member Andrew Ference who joined his hometown team for his final three years in the league. @InsideTracker has been working with the Oilers for the last couple of years, and as one of the teams with the most travel of any club in north america, they've been doing a damn good job implementing personalized and programmatic changes for their athletes based on their data!

This is a true story of something Marc-Andre Fleury did while in the Edmonton “bubble” during the pandemic. He’s been quietly doing things like this during his entire NHL career. What an amazing guy!

@AaronWardDene @KyleSchole Washrooms at the popular entry and exit spots should be prioritized. My big wish is that the there would be some type of cafe along the Touch the Water Promenade corridor.

@MinDhariwal The team needs contributions from everyone.

Just had a random call from a Miami reporter asking me if I knew which hotel the Oilers are staying at down in Florida. I said, “I’m pretty sure they’re at the hotel 8.” Miami reporter: …..🤪😜 Game on! #StanleyCupfinal

This is the best visual explanation I’ve ever seen for carbon plate running shoes

@WHOOP Lost my job during the day. Spent the entire night lying in bed with thoughts swirling through my head.

Have you ever logged a 1% Recovery? If so, tell us the story of how, we need to hear it all. 👇

@Quinnohler Can’t help but smile knowing that Brad is enjoying life after Kitchen. And it looks like he’s as hilarious and kind as he has always been.

What an honour to talk to Brad and Leanne Smoliak about how they are living each day to the fullest. globalnews.ca/video/10312216…

@MinDhariwal @JessicaNgCBC Take and post a photo of the Walterdale Bridge

Today on Radio Active @JessicaNgCBC and I want to know "What's the most Edmonton thing you can do?" Visit to the mall (WEM)? Northern/purple lights? Cut someone off in traffic/refuse to zipper merge? Watch 97 & 29 at Rogers? Float down the river? Go to Jasper? Hit us up!

@e_backstrom I can’t decide what’s more interesting: the $200m private investment, or having the Parks Commission on board.

@e_backstrom @ElkIslandNP There are some white bison out at Metis Crossing.

It's great to see Indigenous nations building bison herds. Is there anywhere else in the Edmonton region besides @ElkIslandNP where bison might be able to roam? theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

@akawombat_ @Nov_ProjectCAN Define “thing”

Is @Nov_ProjectCAN #verbal still a thing? …. Just wondering.

A mathematician shockingly rejected the $1 million prize. The reason why (and what you can learn from it): Grigori Perelman is a mathematician considered to be one of the smartest humans alive. He became known around the global mathematics community for his work that made previously impossible proofs appear obvious in hindsight. In 2006, he was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal for his contributions to the field. But in a crazy twist, Perelman declined to accept it. "[The prize] was completely irrelevant for me. Everybody understood that if the proof is correct, then no other recognition is needed." Later that year, he formally walked away from professional mathematics and moved to a small town outside Saint Petersburg, Russia, to live with and look after his elderly mother. In 2010, Perelman was awarded the Millennium Prize, which came with a $1 million cash prize. But yet again, he declined to accept it. In a world so focused on external achievement and recognition, Grigori Perelman was a unicorn: An individual who had completely eliminated the need for external validation. He was fulfilled by the process—by the joy of working on the complex problems—not by the reward at the end of that journey. While none of us should reasonably aspire to this level, there is a powerful lesson in his story: A life devoid of the need for external validation is a life lived on your terms. It is a life of true freedom. Conflating money and freedom is the mistake that people seem to make—they incorrectly assume that more money equals more freedom, and wind up disappointed when it does not. Money is a tool that can be used to gain freedom, but more often, it becomes a tool that keeps us running for more. Once you’ve achieved a certain level of financial success, everything becomes about a quest for freedom. The ability to do what you want, with who you want, when you want is what everyone prizes above all else. Freedom is the real goal. Grigori Perelman realized that. It's time we all did as well. *** If you enjoyed this or learned something, share the post with others and follow me @SahilBloom for more in future.
