If every person who said “it needs to be fixed” also researched and promoted the “how it can be fixed”… Things would get fixed.

A three-panel comic titled "The Town Hall of Complaints." Panel 1: A packed town hall under a banner reading "ANNUAL MEETING: THINGS THAT ARE BROKEN," filled with a loud crowd shouting slogans like "IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!" and "SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!" Panel 2: A speaker at the podium asks into the microphone, "Okay! Now, who brought a researched proposal for HOW to fix it?" Panel 3: The auditorium is instantly empty except for drifting tumbleweeds, chirping crickets, and a single person sitting alone in the back holding a binder titled "Step 1: Logistics & Budget." Caption at the bottom reads: "Moving beyond complaints makes real progress."

It isn’t about the result. It’s about creating the foundation on which tomorrows victories will be built. Walk with your heads held up as you are inspiring so many. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #BuildTheFuture #ScottishRugby #GirlsInSport #Resilience

Always have a notebook ready for when you fail.. “Perfection is the enemy of progress; understanding this is the route to perfection” #innovation #FounderLife #Resilience #Entrepreneurship #FailForward #Wisdom

A grainy, sepia-toned historical-style photograph of a full-scale 1902 Wright brothers glider crashed nose-first into the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk. The wooden frame is splintered and the white fabric wings are torn. To the right, a man in a flat cap and vest (Orville Wright) is crouched in the sand, intensely writing in a leather notebook as he studies the wreckage. Text overlays read: “Perfection is the enemy of progress;” at the top left and “understanding this is the route to perfection. — Gavin A Neate” at the bottom right.

Gobsmacked. I just sent a manifesto to Bootcamp, UXDesign about why I'm resigning from 'Thought Leadership'. They published it in hours. Wow! Full story and the free link coming Sunday morning. #ActionLeadership #Accessibility #Inclusion

A lady with a guide dog is walking confidently up some steps into the rain. She is smiling broadly and holding her head up. She hasn't stopped to zip up her jacket and is instead just holding it closed with her right hand. On the right a man holding an black umbrella is looking over at her. He looks confused that she is enjoying the chance to walk in the rain. The rain means nothing to her. She has her freedom and independence.

People don’t want to hear about solutions. They are happier for you to just agree with them that something is terrible. Sadly any likes this posts gets are confirmation of this. 😣

Morning thought. Have we become a society where campaigning has become more important than solving?

I’m pretty certain #DonaldTrump hasn’t read the book but surely he’s seen the film.

For some reason this awesome #MitchellAndWebb sketch reminds me of what’s happening in the #WhiteHouse. I keep seeing #PeteHegseth as one of the characters. I wish I knew how to use AI. #WhiskiLeaks youtu.be/VTSCppeFzX4?si…

“There are only two sexes. You MUST use the toilet corresponding to the gender you were assigned at birth.” Or are we just referring to the people who look like they might be transgender? I’m confused.

This is a picture of a man on the left who was born a woman and then transitioned. He is very good looking and has a beard. And on the right the picture of a woman who was a man at birth but transitioned. She is incredibly beautiful.

If a disabled person and a non disabled person are equally as capable of doing the same job the right assumes that hiring the disabled person reduces the effectiveness of the company.
