What follows is a letter from Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Within the letter contains the keys to Google’s success as a technology company: an unrelenting focus on its organizational culture.
Although Google will forever be known for superior internet search technology, its capabilities come from its people. And the focus on its people will keep it at the forefront of technological innovation.
2020 is year that will forever be remembered for all that we lost as a nation.
Personally, I was impacted very little by 2020.

In 1978, the San Francisco 49ers finished dead last in the NFC West Division with a paltry 2-14 record.

What I enjoy most about reading and writing is seeing commonality across disciplines.
Navy SEALs, billionaires, and stoic practitioners all talk about the same things — albeit through a different lens.
They also produce the same result: success.

Elite military and professional athletes channel it to produce almost superhuman efforts. Billionaires use it to create empires and it shines through in the philosophies of stoic wisdom.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. – Socrates
