A busy calendar and a busy mind will destroy your ability to create anything great. - Naval. Busyness is inversely correlated with meaningful actions. The more busy you are, the less meaningful actions you can stack on top of one another to create great outcomes. Step back, reflect on what's important, dedicate your best time to it, and recharge the rest of the day.

🇺🇸 In 1994, the USS Constellation faced a grim future, condemned due to severe deterioration. Baltimore’s Inner Harbor watched as the historic ship, once a symbol of naval might, was closed to visitors, her rig removed. But hope was not lost – Mayor Schmoke’s commission led to a pivotal moment in November 1996. The ship was moved to a shipyard near Fort McHenry, marking the beginning of an ambitious restoration project. The restoration process was a monumental task. The hull, especially, was in critical condition, with 90% of its framing above the waterline needing replacement. Imagine this: shipwrights crafting intricate patterns for new frames, requiring over 200,000 board feet of lumber! The “Gold Mosaic” technique was used to create a new laminated hull shell, the largest of its kind. And the rigging? It was transformed to mirror its Civil War-era glory, with a remarkable 32-inch square, 51-foot long bowsprit and nearly five miles of standing rigging meticulously serviced. This was not just a repair job; it was a revival of a legend. 🛠 Join us in celebrating this incredible journey of restoration, a testament to the resilience of our maritime heritage. Step aboard the USS Constellation, reborn from the ashes of time, and feel the pulse of history under your feet. #USSConstellation#MaritimeRestoration#BaltimoreHarbor #VisitBaltimore#AmericanHeritage#HeritagePreservation#Heritage#MaritimeHeritage https://lnkd.in/demacgyU

Good morning & happy weekend Clarity isn't about knowing what you want to do with your life, it's about knowing what you want to do this week. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to know your next step. - James Clear The single trait I've noticed in people who do great things is figuring it out. Most people never do anything unless they are told to or there's an immediate and pleasurable benefit. Successful people learn and do anything it takes to get what they want, with or without help. - Dan Koe Choose the non-emotional response to any given situation and see how much easier your life becomes. - Naval Ravikant

A value proposition can be thought of as a concise statement of why an organization exists. (My definition…) When I was a young Sailor Senior Chief (later Master Chief) Sherman Biffle would come by my workstation at 0600 every morning and ask what I’d done today for the United States Navy. Regardless of the answer he’d say something like, you’d better get started…the fleet is always underway, and what we do matters… This week I was reminded of Big Sherm when talking to two different groups of Warrior-Scholars of Team NAVO (Naval Oceanographic Office). One team designs and deploys sensors for measuring optical properties of the ocean at depth. Another group analyzes vast holdings (pedabytes) of bathymetric and gravity anomaly data. These two teams have very different missions, functions and tasks. Yet their value proposition is the same - employ our exquisite capabilities to guarantee access in contested waters, increase flexibility in fleet maneuvers, and maximize the lethality of our Naval combat power. In answer to Master Chief Sherman Biffle: This week, We set the conditions for success in Naval Combat. “The fleet is underway, and what we do matters” Not a bad way to spend the week! What is your value proposition? Happy Friday y’all! Lead well and finish strong!

💡a glimpse into Naval's wisdom: 💎The measure of wealth is freedom. 🧠A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought - they must be earned. ✅The quality of your mind is the quality of your life. 🪝Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable. 🧞♀️Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want. 🛝Play long-term games with long-term people.

As we continue to make strides in our space projects, we are also advancing POLARIS, our ship-to-ship naval optical communication terminal. 🚢 With the next milestone on the horizon, here’s a closer look at the POLARIS gimbaled free-space optical data terminal in action during a pointing test. 👀📡

Naval Ravikan: In the Information Age, true wealth isn’t about money. It's about having the freedom to design your life on your own terms. The Information Age is breaking down old models and allowing us to define our own paths and priorities. We now have the opportunity to control not just HOW we spend our time, but also ON WHAT we spend it. 👀 My reflection based on Naval's about what it is the ultimate wealth: Having the freedom to choose how to use our limited time to make the impact we want. Happy Friday! 🔆 What is your take? 👇 #impact #personaldevelopment

Ocean Power Technologies Inc (NYSE-A:OPTT) this week announced the deployment of their next-generation PowerBuoy system for the Naval Postgraduate School.   CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Proactive to discuss the milestone. Proactive: Significant news out from the company today, talking about your PowerBuoy system for the Naval Postgraduate School. You've announced now that you are deploying it finally.
