Love this piece from Business Insider:

“Brendan Browne’s favourite interview question:

What are you most passionate about? Using the whiteboard, explain to me the process of how it works.

Browne learns four things from this exercise:

1. What do the candidates care about most deeply?

2. How well can they explain themselves?

3. How do they think about process?

4. How do they deal with ambiguity?

Browne subscribes to LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner’s belief that the ideal employee should fit into the overlap of three areas: dreaming big, knowing how to have fun, and getting s— done.” Read more.

A true warrior understands and seizes that moment by giving an effort so intense and so intuitive that it could be called one from the heart. ~ Pat Riley.

I can only speak for myself when I say that sometimes you have to put the cart before the horse. The energy of your idea is repositioned thus allowing it the opportunity to guide the process. Give up the reigns. Just go for it. 🙂

Some people eat scrambled eggs with bacon. My breakfast? Watching Stephen Curry hittin’ 3’s like it’s nobody’s business. My breakfast of champions! Love my Golden State Warriors!

Have an amazing Friday!

I didn’t want to kiss you goodbye
that was the trouble
I wanted to kiss you
goodnight.

The best shot of me yet @stephenhui! Bahaha! And we’ll be making a bigger one if we keep eatin’ and drinkin’ like this! Best friends ascend mountains of whipped cream and descend slices of blueberry cheesecake! Bahahahaha!!! #2017 #NewTerrain #SanJuanIslands

Sifting the sands and uncovering two rare colours (blue and orange) of sea glass on Christmas Eve. Precious little gifts! We screamed so loud in excitement. We drew a crowd of children who helped us look for more. #seaglasshunters 🙂

What does it mean to live a fulfilled life? 

1. Have more compassion — for yourself and others. Hy says he would beat himself up if everything in his day didn’t go perfectly. Now, he has more of a glass half-full approach. He doesn’t let little things blow up his day.

2. Do the “Uncomfortable Introspection.” Hy says you have to figure out what you’re afraid of and learn to set it aside so it doesn’t impact your decision making. For some, this may take meditation. For others, it may come through therapy or journaling.

3. Get comfortable with stillness. Hy has come to value “quiet space.” It’s become more necessary than ever to unplug for a few minutes a day. He actually taught himself to meditate on super crowded New York subway cars and made his iPhone password extremely complex to prevent himself from checking his phone so much.

4. Live your truth. When you know yourself and what you really want, you finally stop living for money and prestige. It’s freeing, but Hy knows it’s hard. He now makes a living as a writer and speaker, yet he still has trouble calling himself a writer. He has plenty of moments of doubt where he still feels like a pretender.
