Be Like This Woman Who Moved a Shark With Her Bare Hands

No matter how prepared you are, the life of an entrepreneur will always be met with unexpected challenges. So how should you proceed when you encounter an obstacle?
You can panic or run away. Or you can take a page out of the playbook of Melissa Hatheier, a real estate agent from Sydney, Australia, who was called upon to handle a potentially scary situation.
When confronted with a small Port Jackson shark, instead of fleeing the scene, Hatheier simply picked it up and plopped it back into the ocean, where it belonged.
"He was pretty distressed and bumping into things, so I just followed him around for a bit ... I just thought I would try and catch him. I just dived on him," Hatheier told Australia's ABC News. "I thought, as long as I keep my hand near its fins it couldn't bite me; I wouldn't have grabbed it by the tail though. I wasn't really scared but I wouldn't have done it with a great white [shark]."
So the next time you run into a problem, assess what's required, steel yourself and coolly, calmly get on with it, one step at a time.

Tesla claimed its pickup truck was ‘bulletproof’ — then smashed its windows with a metal ball

... (several lines of code) ... Tesla claimed its pickup truck was ‘bulletproof’ — then smashed its windows with a metal ball https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/11/22/tesla-cybertruck-watch-elon-musk-unveil-new-electric-pickup.html Tesla  unveiled its  futuristic pickup truck  at a promotional event in Los Angeles, but when it came to showing off the vehicle’s durability, things didn’t quite go as planned. CEO  Elon Musk  claimed the car was “bulletproof” against a 9mm handgun. But when he got Tesla’s chief designer to throw a metal ball at one of its armored windows, audible surprise could be heard as the glass smashed — twice. “Oh my f------ God,” Musk exclaimed when it first happened. “Well, maybe that was a little too hard.” Design lead Franz Von Holzhausen gave it another shot, this time with another window. Again, the ball cracked the glass pretty badly. This was after the executive had already taken a sledgehammer to th...

Skills Of The Future: The Employability Mentality

... (several lines of code) ... The meaning attached to the word “jobs” is currently undergoing a revolutionary change. The conventional seemingly “top notch” jobs are undergoing massive threat from the influx of what newness has to offer to the human experience. Aspirations are currently undergoing an absolute disruption, and the conventional day to day hustle of the average man needs some re-aligning, to avoid wasting sweat on gaining skills in areas of absolute irrelevancies. One must be careful to not confuse busyness for productivity. There’s a need for strategic pursuit; to pursue that which is necessary in the most competitive space to attain global relevance. The question then is, to what degree of relevance is your current job? How truly necessary is the skill you are currently trying so hard to acquire? The World Economic Forum in its newest report “The Future of Jobs” makes a detailed attempt at predicting how the typical work space will look like in the co...
