My mom has 4 rules for a meaningful, fulfilled life: A happiness expert says she 'loves' them Original
As long as I can remember, I've known the secret to happiness — or, at least, my mom's four rules for a happy life. It's generational: My Nonni originally gave the first three rules to my mom when my mom was 6 years old. "Children have so little power in their lives," Nonni later told her daughter. "I wanted you to feel like you had some over yours." My mom added the fourth rule and passed them to me and my sister: Do what makes you happy.

My mom has 7 rules to be happy and successful as you age: No. 1 is, 'Your 20s are mostly practice' Original
A few years ago, I watched a friend have a panic attack over the prospect of turning 30. Last month, I spent a long weekend at the beach for another friend's 30th wherein the "over the hill" jokes flew thick and fast. I've seen people hyperventilate upon graduating college at age 22 ("I'm an adult now") or hitting 25 ("I'm really an adult now"). To me, this is odd. I've never felt anxious about a birthday.

Brendan McDermid | Reuters If you're debating whether or not the U.S. is in a recession, you're asking the wrong question, according to a top Federal Reserve official.

Doctors say these pandemic side effects are serious problems—and unlikely 'to go away anytime soon' Original
In September 2021, I collapsed from exhaustion. My vision went blurry. Then, my eyelids grew so heavy that I could barely keep them up for milliseconds at a time. Panicked, I stumbled approximately 50 yards toward a nearby friend, and slumped over her shoulders. She guided me to a shady spot under a tree, where I floated in and out of consciousness for about two hours. As far as I knew, I was a healthy guy in my late 20s with no known risks of major health issues. I chalked it up as a one-off.

How This Founder Hit It Big After Hitting Rock Bottom--and Why Low Points Matter

In that regard, he's far from alone.

Left with a skeleton team, he pivoted the Brisbane, California, company--now called Trove--to become a platform that allows top brands to resell returned products. The move paid off, and revenue took off.

As a result, learning the basics of throwing is one of the first tasks on every new player’s to-do list — and even 20-year veterans still strive to improve their throwing.
