This photo will live rent free in my head for a long time. The pure joy. To my inner kid, never stop having joy in life.

This might be the most powerful demonstration of masculinity at the Olympics. Strength, mission, and a powerful brotherhood that serves one another while leaving no one behind. The red pill bros can’t even comprehend this level of manliness.

I leave you with this image. Alysa Liu's daddy, crying his heart out during the National Anthem at the medals presentation. I am that kind of immigrant. I love America from here to the end of the world. Good job, Papa.

People ask, “Father, why post things that aren’t religious?” Because spirituality is not confined to formal religion. You can find God in beauty, in talent, in excellence wherever it appears. All goodness reflects Him. God is good.

For my generation it was Mary Lou Retton.... For this generation it's Alysa Liu! Congrats Olympian🥇 🇺🇸 THE UNKNOWN STORY BEHIND THE GOLD — ALYSA LIU WRITES HER OWN AMERICAN LEGEND 🇺🇸 Tonight wasn’t just a medal ceremony. It was a moment the whole country will remember. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, 20‑year‑old Alysa Liu skated like fire and ice — a performance burning with joy, precision, and pure heart — and captured Olympic gold in women’s figure skating, the first American woman to do so in 24 years. 🥇🔥 She didn’t just skate. She soared. Under the Milano lights, every triple jump, every graceful spin, every breath she took spoke of resilience and comeback. The score flashed gold and America exhaled — from coast to coast. This wasn’t just athletic triumph — it was personal triumph. Liu’s story didn’t start at the Olympics. She became the youngest U.S. national champion at 13, and she was the first American woman to land multiple difficult jumps early in her career. After competing at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, she walked away from the sport at just 16, seeking balance and life outside relentless training. She lived that life. She went to UCLA. She climbed mountains with friends. She rediscovered joy. Then she came back — on her own terms — to chase something bigger than medals: love for the sport. And she didn’t just return — she dominated. In 2025 she became World Champion, breaking a nearly two‑decade drought for U.S. women. Tonight, Alysa didn’t simply win gold. She showed the world that champions aren’t defined by uninterrupted success — they’re defined by resilience, happiness, and purpose. She skated not for expectation… but for joy. That’s the American dream in motion — bold, unapologetic, beautiful. 🇺🇸✨ Alysa Liu — you didn’t just win for yourself. You won for everyone who believed in second chances. You won for every dream that once felt too heavy. You won for the USA. 🇺🇸💫

“The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Navy Cross (Posthumously) to Gunnery Sergeant John Manila John” Basilone, United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty while serving as a Leader of a Machine-Gun Section, Company C, First Battalion, Twenty-Seventh Marines, FIFTH Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima in the Volcano Islands, 19 February 1945. - Shrewdly gauging the tactical situation shortly after landing when his company’s advance was held up by the concentrated fire of a heavily fortified Japanese blockhouse, Gunnery Sergeant Basilone boldly defied the smashing bombardment of heavy caliber fire to work his way around the flank and up to a position directly on top of the blockhouse and then, attacking with grenades and demolitions, single-handedly destroyed the entire hostile strong point and its defending garrison. - Consistently daring and aggressive as he fought his way over the battle-torn beach and up the sloping, gun-studded terraces toward Airfield Number 1, he repeatedly exposed himself to the blasting fury of exploding shells and later in the day coolly proceeded to the aid of a friendly tank which had been trapped in an enemy mine field under intense mortar and artillery barrages, skillfully guiding the heavy vehicle over the hazardous terrain to safety, despite the overwhelming volume of hostile fire. In the forefront of the assault at all times, he pushed forward with dauntless courage and iron determination until, moving upon the edge of the airfield, he fell, instantly killed by a bursting mortar shell. - Stouthearted and indomitable, Gunnery Sergeant Basilone, by his intrepid initiative, outstanding skill, and valiant spirit of self-sacrifice in the face of fanatic opposition, contributed materially to the advance of his company during the early critical period of the assault, and his unwavering devotion to duty throughout the bitter conflict was an inspiration to his comrades and reflects the highest credit upon Gunnery Sergeant Basilone and the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life in the service of his country.”

@SportPsychTips John Wooden said, "Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses." "Get out there and whatever you're doing do it to the best of your ability." You can't control everything - But you can control how you show up.

@readswithravi Buzz Williams said, "If my entitlement is high, my gratitude is low." "If my gratitude is low then I'm not present and I'm not where my feet are." Entitlement is the enemy of progress. It's the delusion of earning without earning.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on why most leaders fail at meritocracy: "One of the tough things about management is you have to get rid of the bad people." Dimon argues that leaders often talk about meritocracy but fail to act on it. Execution is the problem, not philosophy. "Very often you have people who are unwilling to get rid of the bad people. Bad could be because their culture is bad. It also could be because they're not good enough." He points to the difference between business and sports: "In sport, if you're not batting 250, you're not going to be playing second base. You take out a pitcher who's not doing a good job. In business, they're left in those jobs for a long time." Dimon recalls being challenged early in his career after demoting a long-tenured employee named Joe. Someone asked: "How can I be loyal to you when you weren't loyal to Joe?" He couldn't answer in the moment. But the next day, he called back: "You got it backwards. If I was loyal to Joe and kept him in the job and most people thought he just wasn't doing a good job anymore, who am I being disloyal to? Everybody else and the customer." His advice: "You have to be very careful in management about why you're doing and what you're doing..." Keeping the wrong people in place is the fastest way to lose the right ones.
