ThoughtsTake a glance at "The Most Productive Ways to Disagree Across Cultures", it's a nifty article. These cultural trivia, differences, points of confluence, are often hidden or misinterpreted until the moment they finally float up and unfold on top of the water of our minds like lily pads. That shows how blind we can be without realizing it. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

Jean Rostand was a half-baked futurist/scholar in biology and other fields, interested in human evolution along with the degeneration of mankind and how to remediate it. A more famous quote of him is "Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a God."

This is related to the quote in issue 125, "Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.". All and all, it seems that anything wrong, unexpected, and mistakes, will lead to more experience. Isn't that a tautology: Anything new will be an experience.

What a cheesy quote, right? Also a big hyperbole! Yet, I think there's
some truth to it, programming computers does change the way you think
about some things and approach problems. It probably doesn't teach you to
"think" but it does teach you how to apply a certain methodological way
to look a things, similar to how learning a new skill set would. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

I'd take this further and put it as: prioritize talking about what you
love or learned instead of what bothered you, and if you absolutely have
to, at least put in a constructive way. I'm definitely guilty of this too,
and I know it's hard to get out when you start going down this spiral. In
the age of the internet, toxicity is omnipresent. Take some time to revise
your own Johari Window

Not because I didn't know about it but because it's something I'm doing instinctively, naturally. I couldn't even imagine having to write an article about it.

A quote that may seem would lead to pessimism but that I think is about the contrary. I guess it goes along with the following:
or again:
It's not the end goal that matters, it's the path, the adventure on the way, the progress, the intention. Sometimes it has boundaries, sometimes it doesn't. However if you're satisfied with the status quo you'll stop your journey short. ArchiveYou can find the archive of past newsletters here: ContributeThere are many ways to contribute:

Remember those "Culture clash" from 86 and "Edge effect" from 84, let's start on this tone. Give yourself permission to make yourself a priority, at least for a while. Try out new things, or continue what you've left behind, or simply grow on the same path.

Xero's Weekly Ricing Tipszathura is a vi{m,} like pdf and comicbook viewer. besides having vi like bindings and a minimal ui, zathura is
extremely "riceable" and has a awesome feature called "recolor".
when set to true, you can define custom colors for bg and fg of
textual documents, but it also sets images to greyscale and tints
them in matching inverted hues. here's my config for reference: https://github.com/xero/dotfiles/blob/master/zathura/.config/zathura/zathurarc cite:

scaling and measuring their behaviors, inspecting if everyone moves in
their plastic manner, pantomime, and making sure they never diverge
from their cookie-cutter molds otherwise we'd have to re-invent how we

Going along with the last link of the random section, a thought that's been playing in my head for some time now is to "Make explicit what is implicit". We often assume wrongly that some things should go unsaid but it's always better to be clear about what we have understood, what we expect, what we would wish would be the best possible outcome, that's the only good way to avoid mistakes and misunderstandings. Also we need to add that this does not only apply to problematic scenarios but to any others, if we like something we should be explicit about what exactly what done right and what exactly we liked, this way everyone progresses.

You know the "Baader-Meinhof" effect, well it happened this week to. It seemed like everywhere I went chess made an appearance. From a series I'm watching with my significant other, to a podcast, to my coworker learning some new moves. Though I haven't got to play this week, ironically, but the concept that kept floating in my mind was the one found in this quote.

Why are we striving for what we are striving for. Does it make sense to focus more on it or to stabilize, spread out, and balance efforts into other things. To keep going on in the tournament we have to put more of ourselves in it and so less into other things. Maybe this is a warped up way of saying "rat race" maybe it's not, it depends on how deliberate we are about our decisions.

This week we have a quote related to work culture, more precisely partnering up aka having coworkers or hiring. I've noted that quote when the "How to Start a Startup" course at Standford in Fall 2014 came out and have kept it in my mind since then. How do we know that the team is holding well together. Some of the criteria are in that quote, what others do you want to add? This can be your conversation starter for next week.
