If you write on X, at least don’t wait for a reply. Business leaders call it 'counterproductive'.

Anyone who’s vulnerable can be super dangerous. Kinda “for when I am weak, then am I strong”, you know?

Wonder beyond time's wonders— Eternity shut in a span, Summer in winter, Day in night, Heaven on earth, And God in man. Gloria in excelsis Deo The Coming of Christ is associated with a number of striking symbols of the impossible: the rod blossoms, the virgin bears a son, and he “whom the heaven of heavens cannot contain” is found within the womb. Wonder beyond time's wonders. Alan Watts

Don’t reply “I know” at work, especially to your supervisor. A better version: “Yes, you’re right…” or “Got it” or “Yes, understood”

Finished season 3. High quality one. The most common phrase is surprisingly “Je sais”. (“I know.”) Weird, is it in the French culture? @nicolas_ruf I always thought it was a rude phrase. —Je t’aime. —Je sais.

And yet, they keep saying 'I know' even in English. (Don't say 'I know' at work. Better version: 'Yes, you're right ...')

— Kids don’t read anything anymore. Don’t even know who Dostoevsky was! How can anyone live without knowing Dostoevsky’s works? — Well, Pushkin managed somehow…

KT is my Chinese friend who owns a €1.2 million apartment in Hong Kong, a €1.5 million apartment in Estoril, and a house in London. KT: We tipped too much at the restaurant on Saturday… Me: OK. (The tip was €13.)
