by Terry Rice (7 mins)
- Determine your single most important goal by asking "What's the one thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?"
- Set measurable Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to achieve your main goal, identify missing resources, and seek help from your network.
- Religiously prioritize your daily tasks by continuously asking "What's the one thing I need to do right now?" to ensure you make progress on your goal.

by Ted Lamade (5 mins)
- The class explored how Robert E. Lee's overconfidence from past successes led to his disastrous decision at the Battle of Gettysburg, highlighting the dangers of overconfidence in decision-making.
- Overconfidence has become pervasive across various domains, from pandemic preparedness to investment decisions, as sustained success breeds a false sense of invincibility and imprudent risk-taking.

How a second language can boost the brain
by Ramin Skibba (8 mins)
- Bilingualism confers cognitive advantages, enhancing brain plasticity, executive function skills, and metalinguistic awareness - especially in children and older adults.
- It helps maintain cognitive abilities and may delay dementia onset in aging by promoting gray/white matter integrity and compensating for brain deterioration.
- While benefits are clearer in childhood acquisition, even learning languages later in life shows promise for preserving brain health into old age.
