multiculturalism is or has supplante the one political and social culture that in theory is a melting pot where all can assimiliate to be an American a citizen that comes with no color or creed-just human. I said in theory but in practiced with struggles IT WORKS. That is right it works despite its flaws which is built into human nature On the other hand multiculturalism in theory is to blend all to what ? Harmony? But in practice all regress to tribalism, conflict and in the end the break up of the above America they claimed as flawed and racist and bigoted. What are we destroying?

For reference, this is how you begin to recover your country.

GREATNESS is not only about skills, talent, personal achievements, personal interests, ego or selfishness.    It is about RECOGNIZING the support, help, talent, pushing and courage of people being by your side every single day. This is part of my conception of a real, satisfied and productive team in a work environment.   I do recommend the whole discourse of Sigourney in the GOYA 2024 event. Memorable. It shows humanity, talent, intelligence, sensibility and knowledge. A workshop about being a star above the stars without losing humbleness and humanity. As you can see this in not kind of THEORY, the video shows FACTS (no FAKE guaranteed). Obama Foundation   Link to the entire discourse: https://lnkd.in/ds976tPH

Today marks the anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's historic first nonstop solo transatlantic flight. May 20–21, 1927. From New York to Paris. One key lesson we can learn from Lindbergh to better ourselves in our daily work is the power of perseverance. Lindbergh's journey was filled with challenges and uncertainties, yet his unwavering determination and commitment to his goal led to a groundbreaking achievement. In our day-to-day work, embracing perseverance can help us push through obstacles, stay focused on our goals, and achieve remarkable success. https://lnkd.in/eSnYc-v4

Lessons from Jackie Chan: Perseverance and Passion I’ve loved Jackie Chan’s movies - especially the unique blend of comedy, drama, and action - like the Rush Hour series or even Karate Kid.   But beyond his on-screen prowess, what endeared him, is his humility and his perseverance. Picture this: a young Jackie Chan, filled with dreams of becoming a martial arts superstar. He faced countless rejections, injuries, and setbacks. But instead of giving up, he embraced every challenge with unwavering determination. It takes a lot of strength, to stay 56 years, and act in over 200 movies, and yet have your eyes on the goal! Here are some valuable lessons we can learn from Jackie Chan's incredible journey: 🌟Find your North Star Discover what that excites you, that would keep you going when the going gets tough 🌍“Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances”  We’ll face ups and downs, and realising that we are not just limited by those conditions can help us rise above it. 🤗Embrace your Fears  Fear isn't always bad. It’s an emotion to help us be alert and prepared for danger. It helps us understand when we are moving past our comfort zone.  Like Jackie Chan said: “A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, 'Jackie, are you scared?' Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman”. Use your fears as fuel to push beyond your comfort zone. 🧑🤝🧑You are not alone  Your friends, family, and circle of trust are your pillars of strength. Just like Jackie Chan found his inspiration while at Sylvester Stallone’s house, your circle of trust can inspire you, hold you up when you are down, motivate you and be there for you through thick and thin. Jackie Chan's story reminds me that true greatness can be seen when we look deep within. Sometimes the fruits may come much later. But by embracing our passions, overcoming challenges with unwavering resolve, and surrounding ourselves with people who care, we too can achieve extraordinary things. To more folks like him, who inspire us to keep us going! #Motivation #WhatInspiresMe #LeadershipLessons

🛣 What are we missing out on by rushing from A to B? I have recently been watching ‘Race Across the World’. I know, late to the party, but the sentiment of the opening remarks made me sit back and reflect: “Reaching the other side of the world has never been easier. But, by flying over, are we forgetting how to travel through?” This thought, while rooted in travel, extends far beyond. It sparked a series of questions in my mind: 1)     How often do we find ourselves racing from A to B, fixated on the destination rather than the journey? 2)     In our haste, what moments, sights, and experiences are we overlooking? 3)     Do we consciously think about slowing down occasionally and enjoying the “journey”? I have been guilty of prioritising efficiency, moving from A to B in as short a time as possible (physically and metaphorically). However, a journey last week gave an opportunity to reflect on this once again. En route to London, a closure on the M40 diverted me through the scenic Cotswolds. This unplanned journey turned out to be one of the most delightful drives in recent memory. Whilst this was a forced detour, it took me back to the opening statement from Race Across the World. What strategies or practices do you employ to embrace the present and appreciate the journey?
