What a Boating Trip Gone Wrong Taught Me About Preparedness (In the Grain Business and In Life) hubs.la/Q04BS-vh0

I need to know how many of you were the kid who read absolutely everything. Cereal boxes. Shampoo bottles. The phone book. I did not require plot. I required words.

If you call it Red Dog you’re wrong. Case closed.

10 principles I learned starting in the Big Ten that nobody teaches: 1. Position beats technique.
Most grapplers don’t need more moves. They need better positions. 2. Control creates opportunities.
The goal isn’t to force finishes. It’s to make them inevitable. 3. Pressure wins matches.
Pressure breaks posture, creates reactions, and forces mistakes. 4. Create reactions, don’t chase moves.
The best attacks happen because your opponent has no good options left. 5. Master a few things deeply.
One great shot is worth more than 100 average techniques. 6. Understanding beats memorization.
The best grapplers understand leverage, pressure, and body position. 7. Defense should lead to offense.
Your biggest breakthroughs happen when bad positions become scoring opportunities. 8. Chain wrestling is mandatory.
The first attack rarely works. The transition is often what scores. 9. The Power Position is the destination.
Break them down. Stay in front. Everything gets easier. 10. Confidence comes from competence.
The most confident grapplers aren’t fearless. They’re prepared. Most grapplers spend their careers collecting moves. The best grapplers spend their careers mastering principles. Click link in bio if you want to stop guessing and learn a SYSTEM that simple works.

I’m not sure there’s a skill more vital to a person’s career success than the ability to troubleshoot and make independent decisions. If you can’t solve problems without asking someone else what to do, you’ll never command the wage you think you’re worth.

In May 2016, 15-year-old Karinya “Yaya” Chen was in hospice care in Austin, Texas after years of fighting cancer. She had tickets to see Florence The Machine, but by the night of the concert, she was simply too sick to go. So the people at Hospice Austin reached out to the band. And Florence Welch came to her. Florence and guitarist Rob Ackroyd walked into Karinya’s room and gave her the concert she couldn't make it to. They sang “Shake It Out” and “Dog Days Are Over,” with Karinya singing and harmonizing right alongside them. A few months later, Karinya lost her battle with cancer at just 15 years old. But for one afternoon, none of that seemed to matter. There was just a young girl, one of her favorite singers, a guitar, a room full of people who loved her... and music. Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can become one of the biggest moments of someone's life. This is what being human is supposed to look like.🙏

'Supposably' is a word. supposably = “as may be conceived or imagined” supposedly = "allegedly"

Bad accounting is like breathing carbon monoxide. Most people have no idea it’s killing them.
