Leading Thoughts for August 14, 2025

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:
Timothy Gallwey on learning to change behavior:
“By the word ‘learning’ I do not mean the collection of information, but the realization of something which actually changes one’s behavior—either external behavior, such as a tennis stroke, or internal behavior, such as a pattern of thought.”

Developer Nicoll Hunt on the first step:
“The first step of any project is to grossly underestimate its complexity and difficulty.”
