This post is essential reading. NZ has been on a pathway of increasing division for some years, and it is collective weakness. Defence veterans show NZ the way. Integration, dialogue, learning from history and setting a joint culture pathway to the future is essential. Do we want to continue the pathway we are on and reach the terrible outcomes that Bosnia, Germany, and Rewanda did in the past? OR shall we act on the Defence example. A society that stands together is a strong society. Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou
ka ora ai te iwi (With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive)

A Navy SEAL will spend his life training and sacrificing to reach and maintain the pinnacle of human performance. This is required to serve amongst the ranks of our most elite warriors. If a SEAL can no longer serve due to injuries sustained in combat or training, you can imagine the loss of identity. It's part of why the Navy SEAL Foundation provides programs to assist with transition. In fact, this initiative is so important, it's one of our five pillars of support. The caliber of person who earns their spot amongst our nation's toughest and most elite warriors is someone who would be a valued addition at any institution. It's our job to prepare them for that chapter of their lives and give them the skills to perform in the private sector. If the holidays are a time that inspires you to support organizations that truly stretch your giving to provide the most significant impact to those who need it, I would implore you to support the Navy SEAL Foundation and, more importantly, these men and their families who give so much and who may be apart from one another right now.

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a compilation of thoughts shared by Naval Ravikant on wealth, happiness, and purpose. The #author shares Naval's wisdom on wealth creation, through building specific knowledge and using leverage. Some thoughts that I found valuable are: "Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want." "Escape competition through authenticity." "Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow." Although the #book is #insightful, in my opinion, it lacks the much-needed depth. #BookReview #selfhelpbook

Today, Sunday, May 5th, we commemorate the 79th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic. Not only to honour the struggle, sacrifice, and loss, but also to celebrate heroism and courage in the face of daunting obstacles. The longest battle of the Second World War, it lasted from the outbreak of hostilities in September 1939 until victory in Europe in May 1945. But victory came with a high cost. 4,600 Canadian lives were lost, and the Royal Canadian Navy lost 14 warships to U-boat attacks and another eight ships to collisions and other incidents in the North Atlantic. However, the battle completely transformed the Royal Canadian Navy, quickly expanding it from a tiny, ill-equipped, and under-trained force into one of the largest navies on earth. But any battle is about more than facts and figures. It is about the people who fought, and their stories of courage and grit. Join us in commemorating the heroic Canadians who gave their all in the Battle of the Atlantic so that we may have the chance to live in peace.
