Don't mistake solitude for loneliness. Deciding to be alone is different from being isolated. New evidence: When people think it's harmful to be by themselves, time alone is more likely to make them lonely. Isolation is unpleasant seclusion. Solitude is often a peaceful choice.

Psychological safety is not about withholding criticism. It’s about enabling people to speak up without fear. The goal is not to lower our standards. It’s to replace knee-jerk reactions with open-minded consideration. All ideas are welcome. Not all views are equally valid.

Forgot to say that all parents should watch #adolescencenetflix.This is not about whether the kid committed the crime or not, it digs way deeper than that and brilliantly tackles domestic and social issues like I’ve never seen on TV. Eps are brilliantly filmed in one single shot.

WOW 🤩 the legendary Ferenc Puskas matchworn shirt from the famous Kilmarnock FC v Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 game of 17 November 1965 just sold for circa £50,000 (out the door price). What a player, what a shirt and ultimately, what a price.

At a time in which Scottish male footballers are receiving many deserved plaudits for their exploits in Italy, it feels apt to recall Kilmarnock-born Rose Reilly’s achievements in the women’s game: - 8 Serie A titles - 4 Italian Cups - 2 Serie A Golden Boots Trailblazer. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇹
