š¤Marc Mawhinney on the Difference Between Cocky and Confident
A short, but powerful post from Mark Mawhinney on his Natural Born Coaches site. It begins… “Someone asked a question on Facebook a few years back: ‘Whatās the difference between confidence and being cocky?’ The answer I gave: ‘Confident people can back it up. Cocky people are usually covering over what they canāt.'”
Wise words. The rest of the post is great. Reading time <1 minute.

š„Ā “Ghost Shoes” Documentary
My friend Cynthia Correll sent this video to me with this note: “I want to share this short video with you about raising driver awareness regarding pedestrian and cyclist safety. As you know, my niece, Shauna, was tragically killed in a hit-and-run. I am so proud of her parents who helped make this documentary. They and Shauna’s legacy are truly saving lives. AND I believe you will agree this is all great eye-opening information for each of us to know…thanks for watching.Ā

(And thank you, Cynthia, for sharing this)

Ā Manifest (Browser-Based Note Taker)
I love this simple, free app. Open Manifest.app in a web browser, and you’ll see a blank canvas for storing digital sticky notes. Drag your mouse to create a new note. Type or paste the content. That’s it. When you close and then reopen your browser, the notes will be there.
I’ve tried lots of sticky note apps. But I like this best — especially for notes I only need for a short time. I do most of my work in a web browser. And this makes it simple. Just open a new tab and go toĀ manifest.app. Your notes will be there.

š“The Power of Regret” by Daniel Pink
From the publisher’s website: ā’No regrets.’ Youāve heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. Thatās nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work.
“Everybody has regrets. Theyāre a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.”
