Job Seekers: The Italians Call It β€œSprezzatura” Not giving a f*ck often leads to job search success.

Job Seekers: The Italians Call It β€œSprezzatura”

Not giving a f*ck often leads to job search success.

"A nonchalant attitudeβ€”it’ll be what it’ll beβ€”is much more appealing than desperate action or the display of frustration and anger."

Spain bans social media for users under 16 years old | LinkedIn The Spanish government aims to protect children from online harm by implementing a ban on social media access for those under 16, following Australia's lead.

What are your thoughts?

"Spain Bans Social Media for Users Under 16 Years Old"

Taking after Australia, France, Portugal, Denmark, and the UK, Spain will limit social media access for users under 16.

Overthinking is what's stopping you.

Every time you hesitate, somebody with less skills and less knowledge does it instead of you.

While you're sitting around thinking about "doing it," someone else is just doing it.

Why Nobody Talks About the Future Anymore Why the future feels impossible to plan amid AI disruption, instability, and constant changeβ€”and why survival has replaced long-term dreaming.

My latest article, "Why Nobody Talks About the Future Anymore."

We expect the rug to be ripped from under us at any moment, so we stop dreaming about what the future might hold and concentrate on making it to Friday still employed.

The most successful people I've met aren't above-average smart.

🟒They associate with the right people
🟒They move fast
🟒They take risks
🟒They work more than they play

That's it.
