Even on a local scale, the more connected you are, the lonelier you feel. As Freya India wrote on After Babel:
Many of us don’t have friends anymore; we have followers. We don’t deeply care about each other’s lives; we consume them as content. We don’t have people we can be vulnerable with; we have people who view our Stories. It’s hard to tell if... See more

it’s usually much better to just sound conversational. Don’t force it. Don’t orate. Just be you.
Harvard Business Review • Frame Your Story
Put simply: to highlight the importance of storytelling in work, in life, in all things.A business without a clear story resembles a car without an engine. No matter how much you kick, scream, or turn its crankshaft over, it won’t go anywhere. It’s no more than a dead vehicle sitting (or a dead company walking, for that matter).Like near all things...

Luke Plant • No one actually wants simplicity

O principal pecado capital, portanto, é o da covardia, do pânico em relação ao que deve ser feito, ao que se precisa enfrentar, ao que se precisa viver. Isso envelhece bastante. A preguiça envelhece. → (Vivemos mais! Vivemos bem? P. 13)
