The people with the most grit are really poor or really neglected and they overcome those circumstances. But why aspire to that? We glorify it like life is one big Horatio Alger story. Working smart is the opposite of grit. We also glorify the idea of persisting through hardship. There’s the Seth Godin book of grit that everyone loves: It’s The Dip.

FEBRUARY 21, 2017

There is a single question that I'm asked over and over again. "Why do businesses continue to use the same tired, ineffective and frustrating processes to solve their problems when they just don't seem to work?" The answer that I give is simple. They continue to use these ineffective techniques because they just don't have a better way. It seems that many business teams will use a "Vanity Metric" to convince themselves that they've been successful.

ComPsych is this place that puts out research about how employees feel, and it turns out that feelings are generational. At least at work. Which is what ComPsych specializes in. The biggest problem Gen Y has is depression. The biggest problem Gen X has is relationships. The biggest problem Baby Boomers have is death. This is surprising to me because I have read for so long that the biggest workplace problem Gen X has is that Baby Boomers aren’t dying.

During the two-minute breaks between championship games, "the beast" catches his breath and listens very carefully to the advice of someone who has never picked up a squash racket-- Basma El Shorbagy -- who also happens to be his mom (they were recently profiled by The New York Times).

With the increased interest in reskilling and upskilling existing workforces, companies are looking for more training and development content and realizing that higher education has a lot to offer. Similarly, companies are finding value in providing training to students and preskilling their future workforce. The challenge is that the technology and platforms used to serve these two audiences have never had to work well together—until now.

Everyone who said that me moving with the kids to Swarthmore would be the end of my marriage is probably right. And while I’m at it, all the people who told me to stay away from the farmer when we were dating — you were probably right too. And the people who say in the comments section that I don’t know how to do intimacy. I guess you were right also.
