I have not clinically died, nor have I been run over by a snowplow, but this guy has! I encourage you all to watch until the end, because the message is not "everyone needs to run super fast/far" nor is the message "you need to push yourself to the absolute limit". Brooks has taken the stance that everyone has that moment where you no longer are the best, or the top, or as good as you'd like to be, AND THATS OK, as long as you're taking the next step towards wherever you want to get to, that's a win. I recently took my annual Physical Fitness Test for the Marines, one of two tests every Marine is required to complete (and pass) annually. I was (and still am) very disappointed with my performance but after feeling sorry for myself for a few hours (yes hours), I reminded myself that I could do something about it, and set to building my plan to achieve my goal score next time. What are your goals, do you have a plan to get there? #resilience #goals #Marines #planning

Here is the video illustrating my poem, "Old Glory".

20 Dec 06:50: The Times: (Online article; may include a paywall for some, sorry): US 🇺🇸🇮🇷👺🤮 draws up plans to strike Houthi rebels after Red Sea attacks: Britain joins US-led task force as militants threaten global oil crisis and demand full ceasefire in Gaza: Richard Spencer, Tel Aviv | David Charter, Washington Tues Dec 19 2023, 11.50pm, The Times: The United States is drawing up plans to strike back at the Houthis in Yemen after the Iran-backed group launched a series of attacks on naval and commercial ships in the Red Sea. Pentagon officials have outlined options for a missile attack on Houthi positions after an increase in raids on shipping that has led western nations to scramble warships to the area. The US has moved the Dwight D Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group from the Persian Gulf into the Gulf of Aden, off the coast of Yemen, as part of an international maritime task force to support a potential counterstrike, an official told Politico. The US military has also provided options to commanders to bomb Houthi positions, the official added. A British destroyer, HMS Diamond, has arrived in the region to help protect commercial shipping and shot down a Houthi drone at the weekend:

Barrage balloons were intended to defend against dive bombers flying at heights up to 5,000 feet (1,500 m), forcing them to fly higher and into the range of concentrated anti-aircraft fire. #WWII #DancetheCurriculum #dance #schools #Creativedance #escuelas #escuelascreativas #history #curriculum #crosscurriculum #historia #primaryschool #primaryeducation #educacion #educacionprimaria

Once again a number of failings can produce such a sad outcome.

"...the king's subordinates lacked the political courage to openly discuss the ship's problems or to have the maiden voyage postponed" Sound familiar? When stakeholders demand things to be done faster, it's easy to cut corners and overlook issues. But when it comes to the success of your company and your customers, it's important to stand up and do what's right. The Swedish warship Vasa is a perfect example of what can go wrong when political courage is lacking. The ship sank only a mile into its maiden voyage, losing all the work done and its ability to fight in the war. Let's learn from history and prioritize what's best for our customers and our company and pushback when needed. Hat-tip to Mordy Hackel for the idea #productmanagement #stakeholdermanagement
