My final thoughts of 2024:

“Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes them strive to justify themselves.” — Dale Carnegie

“Praise is like sunlight to the warm human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it.” — Dale Carnegie

“At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou

“We are taking action to ban an entity that collects huge swaths of information about US citizens without their consent, has a demonstrated history of not protecting that information once collected, and as such represents a significant national security risk.”

“Good, it’s about time someone did something about these credit reporting agencies.”
