Life is so unfair. He wasn’t on the offense; his job was defense, not to catch the ball. But, he was playing the game. And what difference would possession make?
So the missed catch split his life, a mortal caesura so to speak, his life before and after the unexpected happening.
With 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter and his team down 16-17, Ravens (#9) kicker Justin Tucker swung his leg with as much power as he could and broke the record for the longest field goal in league history, a 66-yarder that bounced off the crossbar and into the net.
Downtown in the last century was characterized as an industry hub. Since the pandemic, remote work has isolated people.
New lure for cities are the central social districts. Restaurants, coffee shops, and coworking spaces add robust connectivity to a city’s economy.
The world of the materialist is a “bubble world”. Its inhabitants live inside a consumer-driven, status-obsessed bubble. Possession is key. Those who can see beyond the walls of the bubble are deemed mad & deluded. A gimpse of the truth will burst the fragile walls.
–The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith
Life is an experiment: we’re all testing hypotheses, learning from outcomes, and iterating as we go. Every choice is a variable, every experience a data point.
–Grok
Walk a fine line between flexibility & consistency. A strategist must have faith in his strategy and the courage to follow it through and still be open-minded enough to realize when a change of course is required.
