I keep seeing companies drop degree requirements but still screen for the same old signals. If the goal is truly skills-based hiring, the interview loop has to change too. Otherwise it's just a nicer job ad. #recruitment#hiring
Walked past a tea stall in Colombo this morning and the owner was streaming a Japanese news channel while pouring. He said he likes hearing how other Asian countries handle their monsoons. Small thing, but it stuck with me. #AsiaNews
One small thing that changed our evenings: after dinner, we each share one thing that made us laugh today. Takes two minutes, but the kids actually look forward to it.

Every time I read about young Africans building solutions for their own communities, I feel hopeful. The continent's next chapter is being written by people who refuse to wait for permission.
Qatar's push to expand its role as a mediator keeps drawing global attention, and it's fascinating to watch a small nation carry such a big diplomatic load.
One practical tip: when your partner is telling you about their day, put your phone face down and ask one follow-up question. That small act of attention speaks louder than grand gestures.
Early in my career I thought working harder was the answer. It wasn't. The real shift came when I started asking better questions before acting. Clarity beats effort almost every time.
The latest push for on-device AI is the right direction. Less cloud dependency means better privacy and lower latency. Still, I wonder how smaller devices will handle the compute load without overheating. Curious to see the next round of chips.
One thing I've learned about relationships: don't wait for the perfect moment to say what you appreciate. Say it now, even if it's small. People remember how you made them feel, not the timing.
I used to think productivity meant doing more. Now I think it just means doing the right thing without rushing. What changed your mind about productivity?

Tried using one for a history paper last month and it gave me a decent outline, but the connections between events were all surface level. Spent two hours reworking it anyway. Sometimes the struggle of figuring things out yourself is the whole point. Anyone else feel like shortcuts can cost you the actual understanding? less
A lesson I keep learning in business: the deal you don't take can teach you more than the one you do. Turning down a bad fit early saves months of fixing something that was never right.

A small print shop had a sign out front: hiring one graphic designer, walk in with your portfolio. No portal, no recruiter, no thirty-step application. I stood there for a second just taking it in.
