I've taken my share of chances in my life, but always calculated. I've broken some bones and had some failures at business, but the successes have been well worth the risk.

Today the #LindberghFoundation is taking on the ultimate challenge - Decarbonizing aviation.

Some interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patrick’s Origin: Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. He was captured into slavery and taken to Ireland, where he later returned as a Christian missionary. No Snakes in Ireland: The story of St. Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland is a myth. In reality, Ireland has never had any native snake species to begin with. Leprechauns and Fairies: The leprechaun, often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, is derived from Celtic folklore. These ‘small-bodied fellows’ were believed to be fairies and were known for their shoemaking skills. “The Luck of the Irish” is a phrase that originally emerged in America during the gold and silver rush eras, when Irish miners were often successful in their endeavors. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not an old Irish saying but an American one, and it was initially used in a somewhat derogatory way to attribute the Irish miners’ successes to luck rather than their hard work. Over time, the phrase has taken on a more positive connotation, celebrating the Irish for their perceived good fortune and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. Today, it’s commonly used to express good luck and is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

It is never to late to make a different choice. What are you sacrificing to justify your existence? What are you saying is most important? Are you actually making choices that support this or are your choices compromising these? If the latter, it is not too late. Make a new choice, and set things in the right path! #wiseup #makeachoice #takefreshaction

As you go about your careers which is constantly busy and you create a retirement plan, how about a Financial Plan which incorporates a fulfilling life before and throughout retirement so you don’t have a regret like this. Very touching video.

In a world that often values constant productivity and hustle, taking a break can feel like a radical act. Yet, this past year, I chose to do just that. I took a step back to focus on what truly matters to me: serving on the board of a small NGO, engaging in meaningful work, practicing yoga, and taking the time to grieve, rest, and recover. This break has allowed me to follow my joy and recharge, but it has also raised an important question: Will taking this time off be a hindrance when I’m ready to re-enter the workforce? More importantly, do I want to work for an employer who doesn’t value the necessity of taking a break when needed? Thank you 💥 Amy Kean 💥 for sharing Gabor Maté’s wisdom where he discusses the importance of taking time to rest and play. It resonated deeply with me and reinforced my belief that prioritizing our well-being is not just beneficial but essential. As I reflect on my journey and look towards the future, I am reminded of the importance of aligning with organizations that value the well-being of their employees. I believe that taking breaks, when needed, should be seen as an investment in one’s long-term productivity and creativity, rather than a hindrance. So, I invite you to join the conversation: How can we shift the narrative to recognize the importance of rest and play in our professional lives? How can we create a work culture that values and supports taking breaks for our overall well-being?
