@Starbucks - please recognize and reward the employees at DFW near gate B14 (5:00 AM CST on Jan 26). The line stretched down the walkway, but the team there was fast, friendly, and efficient. They had great attitudes which helps with so many canceled flights.

@MdBreathe @Chase Local bank. One where the bank President sits in the branch. One where they know your name.

Thirteen hours under fire. Benghazi. No backup. No retreat. And the truth most won’t say, when Rone and Bub were recovered, there was no fight left to stop it… yet Delta dropped them from a rooftop onto a tile floor next to me. We had the time. We had the means. They deserved better. This is not Hollywood. This is not politics. This is the truth, and a tribute to those who stood the line when everyone else turned away. 🎥 Watch the full music video now: distrokid.com/videos/watch/d… (video uploads by @distrokid)

Learning is not enough; you need to apply that knowledge to your work, thought process, decision-making, or ability to influence others to realize value. Consumption alone does not produce value.

@Jac5Connor Congratulations. Great work. This is my goal by January next year, before turning 55. I hit 265 in HS but haven’t hit anything close in a long time. Been working toward this goal for the past year.

@chife662 @jockowillink Reminds me of Georgia Tech vs Cumberland U on October 7, 1916. A bit lopsided. Rogan’s leg kicks are insane. Best just to avoid them. m.youtube.com/shorts/_ywKYdl…

@AlexAndBooks_ Did you ask him what books he reads? Lots of great recommendations from @jockowillink including one of my favorites: About Face. And if you haven’t read it, Final Spin is a great book. Read it to my brother when he was in assisted living.

An excellent article on educational philosophy. It will encourage you to think about the purpose & value of education. “Lowering the level of expectation to include more students in the category of “success” fails in two ways.” ⁦@HeatherEHeying⁩ open.substack.com/pub/naturalsel…

"One day, my grandson asked me, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' I replied, 'No, I'm not a hero, but I have served in a company full of them.' Major Dick Winters led perhaps the most legendary U.S. Army unit in all of World War II. On D-Day, he and his "band of brothers" in Easy Company overcame a far larger German force and enabled the Allied advance to continue. At the Dachau concentration camp, they liberated scores of Holocaust prisoners who had endured months, if not years, of hell. And as the war in Europe neared its end, they captured Hitler's personal mountaintop retreat in southern Germany - then celebrated on his terrace in triumph while sipping champagne from his wine cellar. Yet, for decades, Winters hesitated to share his story, fearing he might be labeled a hero. Eventually, however, Easy Company's harrowing and courageous exploits on the Western front in 1944 and 1945 were immortalized in "Band of Brothers."
