📫 Lifelong Learners & Vulnerability – Weekend Words #060

Powerful reminders for a smarter weekend

Presented by

Happy Saturday. Your weekend words are: lifelong learners and vulnerability.

“If you want to advance to the next level of Personality Intelligence, do what lifelong learners do:

  • Reflect on your talents and look for ways to improve.

  • Let go of self-judgement, practice self-compassion, and accept yourself fully.

  • Be curious, resilient, and mindful.

  • Seek feedback to understand what you are projecting to the world.

  • Then, be open to what you discover.”

—Merrick Rosenberg, Personality Intelligence

“Genes are rarely about inevitability, especially when it comes to humans, the brain, or behavior. They're about vulnerability, propensities, tendencies.”

—Robert Sapolsky, Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers
