The newly discovered einstein tile. An aperiodic monotile is a shape that tiles the plane, but never periodically. The paper presents the first true aperiodic monotile, a shape that forces aperiodicity through geometry alone. Credit: David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig S.

The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.
Falling Out of Life by Frederik Gieschen
“While real growth can scare us, a lack of growth can become infuriating. We’re grinding away on a plateau. Nothing seems to be moving and frustration builds. It is not obvious how to proceed.
Sometimes, we just need patience and stamina. We need to keep at it, gradually and consistently. We grow by remaining engaged and immersed.
Other times, we need to level up and get new input. We need to find a new teacher, learn a new method, gain a new perspective, or use a new tool. We can only grow by stepping away from the work.
And sometimes, everything needs to be re-invented, re-thought, and re-assembled to match who we have become.”
Fred again..: Tiny Desk Concert

He skillfully plays the marimba, creates live loops, and teleports collaborators via a smaller version of his signature screen. Despite the challenge, Fred again.. rises to the occasion, showcasing his musical versatility and pushing creative boundaries.
The Daily Schedule of Benjamin Franklin
Source: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin’s daily routine was unexpectedly simple, but totally effective. He asked himself two key questions every day: “What good am I gonna do today?” in the morning, and “What good did I do today?” in the evening. With just six blocks of time, Franklin’s routine shows that sometimes, keeping it simple is the way to go for productivity and success.
