In today’s fast-paced world, it can be difficult to find reliable sources of advice on how to succeed in your career. That’s why “Build” by Tony Fadell is such a valuable resource for anyone looking to grow at work.

The book is essentially an encyclopedia of advice, filled with personal stories and practical insights from one of the most successful product designers of our time. Fadell’s career spans more than 30 years in Silicon Valley, where he led teams that created some of the most iconic products of the 20th century, including the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat.

Each chapter of the book builds on the previous one, charting Fadell’s personal journey from a product designer to a leader, from a startup founder to an executive to a mentor. Along the way, he shares his unorthodox approach to leadership and design, which is based on old-school principles that he learned from mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell.

One of the key insights of the book is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to make something great. Instead of focusing on how to lead and manage, Fadell emphasizes the importance of making great products. He believes that if you focus on creating something truly valuable, the rest will fall into place.

This approach is refreshing in a world where many leaders are obsessed with the latest management fads and trends. Fadell’s advice is grounded in the reality of human nature, which doesn’t change as quickly as technology or business practices.

Overall, “Build” is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to grow at work. Whether you’re a young grad just starting out or a seasoned CEO, Fadell’s personal stories and practical advice are sure to inspire and inform your journey. If you’re looking for a mentor in a box, this book is a great place to start.

Focus on the present and make the most of it in order to create a beautiful life.

We have a choice in how we approach each day. We can choose to be negative, bitter, and judgmental towards others, or we can choose to be optimistic, loving, and curious about the possibilities of the day ahead. This quote encourages us to choose the latter and approach each day with positivity and openness.

Snow Day! Maybe you don’t live where it snows or maybe you have lived somewhere where it snows or wish you did… For many people, a snow day is a reason to celebrate. The prospect of a day off from school or work, and the chance to play in the snow, can be very exciting. It’s cozy… When it’s snowing outside, there is often a sense of coziness and warmth indoors. Snuggling up with a warm blanket, drinking hot chocolate, and watching the snow fall can be a very comforting and peaceful experience. For kids, a snow day is often a chance to play and be silly. Building snowmen, having snowball fights, and sledding are all activities that can bring a sense of joy and playfulness to a snow day.

President’s Day is that it is one of only 11 federal holidays recognized by the U.S. government. In addition, it is the only federal holiday that honors the lives and achievements of multiple individuals rather than a single person, making it a celebration of the presidency as an institution.

Another unique aspect of President’s Day is that it is celebrated on the third Monday in February, which means that the exact date of the holiday changes from year to year. This is because the holiday is always celebrated on Monday between February 15th and February 21st, in order to create a long weekend for workers. This means that the holiday can fall anywhere between February 15th and February 21st, depending on the year.

Working hard can also bring a sense of purpose and meaning to our lives. When we have a goal or a task that we are working towards, we have a sense of direction and focus.
