“Not just anywhere. Here.” - @cmcdavid97

“I don’t need a break, or a fresh start. I just want to be in Edmonton, playing hockey. I want to get back there again, whatever it takes. If that sounds like a robot, then I guess I’m a robot.” Connor McDavid, in his own words. theplayerstribune.com/connor…

Thanks for everything, Brett 💙🧡 #LetsGoOilers

Stoked to see the Edmonton Oilers heading back to the Stanley Cup Finals! I first spoke with Edmonton back in 2016 thanks to former Boston Bruin and fellow @Nov_Project member Andrew Ference who joined his hometown team for his final three years in the league. @InsideTracker has been working with the Oilers for the last couple of years, and as one of the teams with the most travel of any club in north america, they've been doing a damn good job implementing personalized and programmatic changes for their athletes based on their data!

This is a true story of something Marc-Andre Fleury did while in the Edmonton “bubble” during the pandemic. He’s been quietly doing things like this during his entire NHL career. What an amazing guy!

A mathematician shockingly rejected the $1 million prize. The reason why (and what you can learn from it): Grigori Perelman is a mathematician considered to be one of the smartest humans alive. He became known around the global mathematics community for his work that made previously impossible proofs appear obvious in hindsight. In 2006, he was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal for his contributions to the field. But in a crazy twist, Perelman declined to accept it. "[The prize] was completely irrelevant for me. Everybody understood that if the proof is correct, then no other recognition is needed." Later that year, he formally walked away from professional mathematics and moved to a small town outside Saint Petersburg, Russia, to live with and look after his elderly mother. In 2010, Perelman was awarded the Millennium Prize, which came with a $1 million cash prize. But yet again, he declined to accept it. In a world so focused on external achievement and recognition, Grigori Perelman was a unicorn: An individual who had completely eliminated the need for external validation. He was fulfilled by the process—by the joy of working on the complex problems—not by the reward at the end of that journey. While none of us should reasonably aspire to this level, there is a powerful lesson in his story: A life devoid of the need for external validation is a life lived on your terms. It is a life of true freedom. Conflating money and freedom is the mistake that people seem to make—they incorrectly assume that more money equals more freedom, and wind up disappointed when it does not. Money is a tool that can be used to gain freedom, but more often, it becomes a tool that keeps us running for more. Once you’ve achieved a certain level of financial success, everything becomes about a quest for freedom. The ability to do what you want, with who you want, when you want is what everyone prizes above all else. Freedom is the real goal. Grigori Perelman realized that. It's time we all did as well. *** If you enjoyed this or learned something, share the post with others and follow me @SahilBloom for more in future.

This video is going to live in my head for a very long time.

SOUTH AFRICA! UNBELIEVABLE! They take the lead once more in stoppage time thanks to captain Thembi Kgatlana against a stunned Italian side. #FIFAWWC

In 2014, #ualberta alumna Lazina Mckenzie, stepped into Commonwealth Stadium for her first November Project workout. Since then, she's been hooked, and today, she's sharing five valuable lessons she's learned from showing up week after week. ualberta.ca/newtrail/people/…

College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade. Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius. It is the speech for TODAY

This is one of the funniest vids I’ve seen in a while, only because I think this would be an awesome company LOL #keyboardwarriors #joke

I always wondered why @strombo is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever seen in action. Here is the answer. Wow.

"I don't want to be standing here in front of all of you but I hope we can use it an opportunity for everyone to learn." Whitecloud broke into tears as the press conference continued. This clearly affected him and his family deeply. Powerful stuff from a tremendous person.
