When they ask how fast we are planning to grow this year? Intention, Precision, Quality, Scale are some of the themes that came to mind as we thought of slowing down in 2024 to be able to run in the next 18 to 24 months and this Navy Seal mantra captured it perfectly! 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️ What's your SISSIF? #2024goals #doitright #wfm #howtogofast #usnavyquotables

On December 7, 1941, the United States was thrust into World War II when the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was appointed Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet later that month. He oversaw the Allie's island-hopping campaign to systematically defeat the Japanese-held territories throughout the Pacific Ocean and led pivotal battles, including Midway. When the war ended, Admiral Nimitz became the Chief of Naval Operations. He made one of his more lasting legacies in this role: the Blue Angels. The Blue Angels are the Navy's flight exhibition team. Maybe you have seen them in action with their close-flying diamond formation (18" apart) and high-speed, low-ground maneuverers. Since its founding, a team of six Blue Angel fighter pilots tours the country, headlining airshows. Does the Navy need the Blue Angels? Of course not. The Blue Angel squadron does not make better fighter pilots. The Navy has other training for that. Why then form and keep the Blue Angels? Sometimes you need a little sizzle. Admiral Nimitz saw the general public lose interest and awareness in naval aviation as he led the Navy's post-war transition and demobilization. Pilots are essential to a Naval Fleet's attacking and defensive capabilities. Nimitz's vision was for the Blue Angels to demonstrate the professionalism and skill of naval aviators. Look, we know the memes about runners. We always wear GPS watches and talk about upcoming races and how long we ran this weekend. Does that sound like you? It does me. Remember, though, that you can overdo this, and we should realize (gasp!) that not everyone is as interested in running as we are. But don't lose the sizzle. It's good to remind those around you that you run. Maybe you will inspire them to start running when they see running's tremendous health and mental benefits on you. We're not Admiral Nimitz. However, there's no reason we can't have a similar lasting legacy. #running #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #marathon #marathontraining #supplements #research #runcommunity #runningcommunity #peregrune

🦈 LESSONS FOR ALL OF US IN THE MURKY SHARKTANK OF 2024 🦈 👊 FINANCIAL 🦈 AND REAL ONES have much in common: * predatorial --always hungry for more * second row of teeth should the first row fail * attracted by blood in the water * prey on fear and flight 🏊♂️ ⚓️ NAVY SEALS ARE THE ELITE of Armed Forces. There are none braver or more resilient. This video speech offers life lessons. They swim, fight and think exactly like dolphins 🐬 DOLPHINS HAVE LESS TEETH, find strength in numbers. Highly intelligent, they once guided us to safety during a 1995 Bermuda ⛵️ crossing from NYC. 🦈 actually fear 🐬. 📃👊 TAKE A PAGE from the ⚓️ 🐬 playbook. 🦈 have fuzzy vision and will retreat when directly confronted with strength, precision and porpoise ( I mean PURPOSE!) #navyseals #sharktank #shark #ethicsinbusiness #financialconsultant #assets #investinginyourself

I've navigated through numerous uniform changes and challenging situations during my Military service, adapting to various circumstances with resilience. The value of actions and work ethic has always been paramount to me, as words alone hold little weight. That being said if you are anything like me talking about yourself is not an easy task. Leveraging resources and building a strong network are essential in showcasing your true capabilities. #MilitaryExperience #Adaptability #WorkEthic #Reliability

Do you believe in the power of humans to endure, overcome challenges, and emerge victorious? YES, that power is within each human being! As two officers of the Indian Navy Lt Commander Dilna K. & Lt. Commander Roopa A. embarked on their challenging expedition on 2nd October 2024 to circumnavigate the globe covering 23,000 nautical miles in over 240 days, with just each other and the grand (at times unpredictable) oceans for company, they set a new benchmark for endurance! I salute their grit & determination and wish them victory every sail of their way! At times, do you feel you cannot endure or challenge your circumstances? It may be that you have not yet tapped the potential that lies within you! #endurance #innerpotential #grit #determination #poweroflifecoaching

Here’s some brainfood for those of you who thought “Kamikaze” is just a vodka cocktail: Kamikaze pilots were Japanese aviators during World War II who carried out suicide missions, primarily aimed at crashing their planes into enemy ships, with the intent of causing maximum damage. The term “kamikaze” translates to “divine wind” in Japanese, originally referring to a typhoon that destroyed a Mongol fleet attempting to invade Japan in the 13th century. These pilots were part of the Special Attack Units of the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army, and they deliberately crashed their aircraft—often loaded with explosives—into Allied naval vessels, particularly American warships, during the latter stages of the war, especially during the Battle of Okinawa. This begs the question- Why in the world would the pilots wear helmets when they were on suicide missions? The boring answer is that Kamikaze pilots wore helmets primarily for practical reasons. Though they were on suicide missions, the helmets provided protection during takeoff, landing, and other maneuvers before the final mission. Additionally, helmets were equipped with communication devices, which were important for coordinating with ground control or other aircrafts. But the answer we prefer at ParfaitTu, philosophically speaking, is: In the grand scheme of things, the life of a kamikaze pilot is not that different from our own (pause your outrage, allow us to explain). While each one of us is aware that we will eventually give up our worldly possessions, we live to grow and protect them none the less. The lesson here is- live each day like it’s not your last. Don’t develop a reckless, nihilistic attitude in the face of uncertainty, or even in the face of certain despair. Look out for yourself till your very last breath, no matter how near your “finish line” is… or as Dory would put it- Just keep swimming! #parfaittu #bishopai #philosophicalquestions #deepthinking #lifelessons #historytrivia #thoughtprovoking #wisdom #philosophylovers #mindfulness

South African Military Vehicles in War Thunder War Thunder is a highly realistic battle game where players can choose from a number of armoured vehicles, tanks, ships, helicopters and planes represented for different countries. The player chooses a country and vehicle type, and works their way up from tier 1, progressing to higher tier vehicles as they gain battle experience. The vehicles are incredibly detailed and have characteristics that are closely resemble their real-world counterparts. An exception is often the premium vehicles that can be bought as they can have some enhanced features e.g. slightly faster turret rotation speed than the real-world vehicle. But each online battle tries to match players and similar vehicle tiers to ensure good game play.

What did working with the French Foreign Legion on Operations teach me about strategic partnerships… 🇫🇷🇬🇧🫡 1. If you’re going to have a photo taken, always cam up your forehead. 😬🎨 2. We are in a people business. 💂💂♀️💂♂️ You may have to rely on people you have only met for thirty seconds to dig out blind for you when you need it. Taking time to know them and make them want to work for you is invaluable. 🤝 3. Take every opportunity to learn from those who are looking at the same problem, but have a different sight picture. 🔫👀 They will see opportunities you’ll never comprehend. 4. If you’re still reading, then really just point #1 again. If you don’t believe me, just read the comments… 🫡 but also don’t take what you read on social media seriously.
