awesome job! really cool to see these data-infused storylines come to lifehttps://twitter.com/EsportsFactor/status/1508884274505728009 …

mini-games for myself: figuring out an efficient morning routine, entertaining a mutual friend, learning a flash "in motion" to my spot, productionizing code to be more self-sufficient. Fanning these tiny, inner sparks of possibility are what made the big moments possible (2/2)

I used to think that big achievements are what drove me to being inspired to do more. I realized quickly that when this was my mindset, I'd get bored or lose motivation waiting around between these hype moments. A good way to stay focused was to turn the small things into (1/2)

If you're looking to get better at talking in front of others, try sitting down and having a conversation with yourself. If you find yourself distracted or don't like what you hear, chances are you're not confident in your own thoughts. Figure out why, adjust, repeat, and profit

Sometimes this means that you'll miss your chance to contribute in THAT meeting, but take some notes and address the thoughtful comments others just made. After that, follow-up with who you want to ask your questions to, and it becomes a win-win for everyone (3/3)

chance to talk as soon as someone else is done, you're not listening as well as you can and that other person will feel less validated. They might have brought up a great point, but it will feel glossed over because no one had a chance to properly process. (2/3)

if there is always a good excuse, then there is never a good excuse

if you're unwilling to hear any criticism and say so, at least you don't waste more time than the conversation took and there is a next step. the real time sink are the folks that nod yes to everything they hear, but then take no action or ignore the feedback... infinite loop

negatively with your inability take criticism. Your peers will start to zone you out and not take you as seriously unless you become more open to two-way conversations. In order to be a good teacher, you need to be patient and understand you also have something to learn (2/2)

If you're in a position to give a lot of advice, you might find it hard to take advice yourself. Generally, it's due to thinking that you work harder or know more than your peer group. You might also be in the wrong when giving certain feedback to others, and that compounds (1/2)

You might find yourself feeling exhausted but not know why. Don't forget to stay attuned to your own day-to-day needs-- empathize with yourself. Take stock of any toxic one-way relationships you might have with other people or even with "things" like news and social media (2/2)

Some folks have issues with lacking empathy, but too much empathy is also a big problem for others. They end up with little to no time for themselves in the race to care for others. If you're constantly processing information, you definitely can't reflect on it all (1/2)

congratulations to those who have experienced that last 1%-- it separates you from the rest. you're not just lucky, you crushed it @brokycs (3/3)

...how to play the situation out in a way that brings your team an advantage more often than not (and under pressure). that's hours of grinding and reflection at work. that's countless discussions with your teammates, whether they caused arguments or not at the time. (2/3)

broky and device have both talked about luck being a big factor in some of their amazing performances. when an in-game opportunity presents itself, that might be luck. what isn't, though, is choosing... (1/3)

when playing from the lead, karrigan is one of the best IGLs to have in your corner. it is suffocating to play against his teams when they get up to early leads. when doubt creeps in, that's when his teams are tested
