  1. “Always know that real progress is often invisible, boring, repetitive.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

    Your success will often not involve huge home runs that have you cheering with joy. It will come about through small bunts, working the bases, advancing slowly but surely towards a goal, and muttering about the pace.

    Treat your progress as such.

    Right now, this can be a challenge. After all, we live in a "highlight reel" culture. We see the successful keynote, the published book, or the smooth career pivot and assume that it all happened in a flash of inspiration. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most profound breakthroughs and the biggest wins are rarely the result of a sudden lightning bolt. They are the result of the quiet, daily discipline of showing up when it feels like nothing is changing. Playing the clubs. Putting in the work. Advancing slowly but steadily.

    I did a lot of small events in rural America and small towns in Canada before I hit the big stages of Las Vegas. It was often boringly dull, excruciatingly tiring, and sometimes, with a detached audience, not terribly motivating. But through that, I learned that success is often built on "invisible progress." The small steps that get you closer to a big goal.

    For me, success and learning are about the hundredth hour spent in the lab struggling with a Linux configuration.

    It’s the years of writing a Daily Inspiration post without missing a single workday.

    It’s the repetitive act of studying a disruptive trend long before the world notices it.

    It was spending time on stages that sometimes I did not want to be on.

    Most people quit during this "boring" phase. They mistake the lack of immediate feedback for a lack of progress. They want the dopamine hit of a "win" every day. But as a practitioner, you have to realize that you are building up your skills, capabilities, and knowledge.

    The amateur waits for the quick hit.

    The master relies on patience and effort.

    Success isn't a sprint; it’s the compound interest of your daily discipline.

  2. LA DANSE (Khalil Mardam)

         LA DANSE Les ébats de l'un et de l'autre s'épousent pli selon pli ensemble ils s'écartent, ensemble se rejoignent de quelle fougue habités ! Nulle onde entre eux ne se pourrait insinuer sans avoir à souffrir de l'attachement, combien tenace ! qui les lie. La paume adhère à la paume, toutes deux associées intimes d'un projet qui met aussi en jeu une jambe puis l'autre. Insensiblement les deux joues ont préparé leurs approches tandis que les deux nuques se […]

  3. So apparently #atoms are #invisible, but don't worry—our intrepid blogger is here to enlighten us with *eye-popping* #revelations like "atoms are small" and "nuclear reactions are a thing." 🤯 Who knew #physics could be this thrilling? Or not. 🤷‍♂️

  4. Beware of blank lines and white spaces — Supply-chain attack using invisible code hits GitHub and other repositories

    Unicode that’s invisible to the human eye was largely abandoned - until attackers took notice.

  5. #15 Create an invisible object where only the shadows can
    be seen.

    My method were ellipses shown little less than half of it and getting more transparent. I like those forms magically appearing from nothing.

    Being late is hopefully better than to stop. :)

  6. "Real progress is often invisible, boring, and repetitive. Don't mistake the quiet for regression!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    It's often about the small steps, not the big leaps.

    The quiet progress you make, not the noisy success you relish.

    The effort you put in daily, not the audacious stretch goal you choose to chase once.

    Showing up all the time, not just when it suits you.

    Measuring your progress by what really matters - not by what you think matters.

    Some people chase success with reckless abandon, thrashing about with wild activity.

    Others just show up.

    And put in the work.

    Success is about patience.

    It's often quiet, slow, and deliberate.

    Unseen.

    But it's there.
