@BStulberg Fabulous insight and wonderful way to look at it. I think have been in elite sport for decades that this rings true. People too often confuse sacrifice with obsession, there is however a distinct difference.

The number of people on this app who are all "you've got to be obsessed to succeed" and "I'll sleep when I die" never ceases to amaze me. It's patently false. It makes you fragile. There's a better way:

For those who expect everything, there are many curses. For those who appreciate everything, there are many blessings.

If you knew you wouldn't have any external success with the thing you're building right now for another 3 years, would you still do it?

@heydannymiranda A jumbo jet uses 25% of its fuel to take off. Same efforts required to change behaviour, build habits and businesses.

Going from 0 to 100 reps is harder than going from 100 to 1,000 reps.

Tough away game in Edinburgh. Nearly ground out a much needed win but just fell short. Big effort from everyone. 🦓 Really nice to catch up with a couple old @ExeterChiefs & @WorcsWarriors team mates after the game which is always nice! @SamSk95 @duhanvdmerwe

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Recently we made it possible for teenagers (13+) to start a US company from anywhere in the world using @stripe @atlas. Already *50* teenagers have started a company. Here's a lil vignette of what the youth are up to (hint, it's awesome):

I get that it’s his job to provoke a response with his words but does Jeremy Clarkson, or indeed anyone, actually feel like this about Meghan Markle? There are so many red flags in here.

Nice to back in wet and windy England! Shame about the result but credit due to @BristolBears. Was really good to catch up with lots of old team mates too. 🤗 But best part of the trip was I got to see my little man. Been missing him loads! He loves his new @ZebreParma top 🦓

@mrdanwalker It is not our words but our actions that define us. This tells us a lot. Not a team for me.

If you can meet with triumph and disaster… And treat those two impostors just the same… There is much to enjoy about Argentina but this lacks class. twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status…

@evans_marke As ever. Actions always over intentions and words to build trust. What we do is far more important that what we say. Hope you are well Mark

Well you have to admire the way Quins throw on very young players to replace icons ( Care, Dombrandt, Marler, Louw) in a tight game they should have already won but had lost momentum.Speaks volumes about their confidence in the emerging talent
