We all want to feel like we belong. We feel safe surrounded by people who see the world the way we see it. This is why we all have to find our tribe.

Just a little reminder for the UK. For some lockdowns mean a little more time with the kids, a bit more working from the spare room, a bit more cosying next to loved ones. Perhaps time to tidy the house or plant bulbs or start a new craft project in the workshop. Another box set to gorge on TV. For others they mean the removal from life of seemingly absolutely everything they live for, the destruction of their livelihoods, sudden removal of any hope for the future. The chance of feeling alive vanish until a time they can't imagine. They mean day after day spent alone, or trapped with abusive partners, time away from dying loved ones, or people they planned to marry trapped in other countries. They mean lost dreams, lost deposits, lost savings, people dying alone, and funerals where people never get to say goodbye. They mean unemployment for years to come, crippling anxiety, the need to give up on dreams. They mean suicide, mental health issues, substance abuse issues. They don't mean a lost year, they mean a widespread massive loss of ANY sense of meaning or purpose or routine or belief in the or their future. So if you're in the former, please think of the latter and spare your virtue signalling. If in the latter, hang on in there and feel free to DM me. …see more

After my step Dad graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign Urbana he took a job with the ILO as a productivity expert and our family began to travel the world moving to a new country every two years. I've been everywhere, Cyprus, Cambodia, Tunisia, Ethiopia and all over Europe. During our travels George introduced me to the most eclectic foods and wines the world has to offer. I was particularly fond of German Black Forest Cake. To make this delicacy you need to understand the delicate balance between the cream, the kirsch soaked cherries, the chocolate cake layers and the crispy thin brittle chocolate that provides the subtle "crunch". Today, most attempts to make Black Forest Chocolate Cherry Cake are dismal failures. No one wants to invest the time it takes. I am changing all that. I have been working with a team of pastry chefs for 5 months to bring the world's best back. I made the way it was baked decades ago, no corners cut! Now I am about to unleash it on the world. I'm personally selling my masterpiece on QVC this Wednesday afternoon March 27th. I can say with certainty and with much pride that this is the best Black Forest Chocolate Cherry Cake you have ever tasted! Shop it here: https://lnkd.in/et4n3FE …see more

21 days #lockdown #stayathome Stay where you are. If we cannot manage this 21 days, then India will be pushed back by 21 years. India will bear the financial consequences of the lockdown.

Success isn't simple - it can change a person, make you be less kind to the hospitality person who brings you your food, take your staff for granted, neglect your family. It's easy to be a rich jerk - but rich jerks are usually lonely jerks, and after eventually they realize that success is meaningless when you're alone - even when you're alone in a pile of money! You've got to stay grounded. The key to that is RESPECT. Respect the guy who sells you your coffee in the morning. Respect your office admin. Respect your wife. You didn't get successful on your own!
