🌟 Age is Just a Number, and Passion Knows No Limits! 🌟 In an inspiring turn of events that beautifully ties into the essence of a growth mindset, Taghi Asgari, a name synonymous with diving excellence in Iran, has once again made waves. In the mid-20th century he first claimed silver and bronze at the inaugural Asian Games in New Delhi. Fast forward to 2023, and Asgari, at the age of 100, has shown us that dreams and ambitions are not confined by the number of candles on your birthday cake. Competing in an exhibition dive at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Asgari was not just participating; he was declaring a powerful message: "Age is not a barrier." His journey from clinching medals in 1951 to diving into the pool in 2023 is a testament to the unwavering spirit of pursuing one’s passion, regardless of age. This remarkable story serves as a beacon for professionals across all fields. It's a vivid reminder that a growth mindset isn't limited to our careers or personal development alone. It encompasses every aspect of life, including our passions and hobbies. Asgari's dive is not just a physical feat; it's a dive into the possibilities that lie within each of us, waiting to be explored, no matter our age. Let's carry this spirit into our professional lives. Whether you're eyeing a new skill, or aiming for that next big project, remember Taghi Asgari's leap. It's never too late, and you're never too old, dreams don't have an expiration date.

The champions of these Olympics all share a common mindset: the shônen spirit. Here's a 3-step journey that parallels the shônen ethos and the Olympic pursuit: 1️⃣ The hero's progression Like Olympic athletes, shônen heroes start as novices with big dreams and ambitions but little knowledge. Whether it’s Naruto training to master the Rasengan or Goku preparing for a tournament, effort and training are at the heart of their progression. 2️⃣ The importance of companions In shônen manga, friendship and the support of companions are crucial to the hero's success. Friends and rivals in shônen manga push the hero to surpass themselves. At the Olympics, competition is healthy, with a true spirit of camaraderie and respect, as seen in the hugs between competitors and selfies with Léon Marchand, and the camaraderie among the young gymnasts. 3️⃣ The ultimate goal: becoming the best Whether it's becoming the Hokage, the Pirate King, or the ultimate champion, shônen heroes pursue their dreams with passion. At the Olympics, every athlete aims for excellence and global recognition. The spirit of the Olympics and the shônen spirit share a common vision: determination, effort, support, and the quest to become the best. Whether you are a sports fan or a manga enthusiast, this quest for greatness and self-improvement is universal and deeply inspiring 🔥

🔍 Latest Water Quality Update for the 2024 Olympics Mixed Relay Triathlon at Pont Alexandre III We're sharing today's (August 4, 2024, 2:15 PM CET) measurements for the venue of tomorrow's Mixed Relay Triathlon. - Planktonic E.coli Count: 228 E.coli/100 mL (well below the World Triathlon threshold of 1000 E.coli/100 mL) - Comprehensive E.coli Count: 1862 E.coli/100 mL (continues to be high) - The laboratory MPN count would likely align closer to the planktonic count. These results place us once again in the same gray zone observed during the Triathlon events on July 31st. While the risk associated with presence of planktonic E.coli is low, there is a significant risk related to E.coli-rich fecal or sediment particles floating in the water column. Since these E.coli bacteria are not visible to the standard laboratory methods, this risk is not captured and is therefore unknown. Today's findings further highlight the inadequacy of the current regulatory methods to assess public health risk in waters like the Seine, which contain large amounts of suspended matter carrying clumps of E.coli bacteria and associated pathogens.

The Perspective: *Olympics Men's 100 meters race: **Seoul, 1988 Olympics: Carl Lewis, USA, won Gold Medal, *9.92* seconds 36 years later... **Paris, 2024 Olympics: Oblique Seville, Jamaica, finished last, *9.91* seconds! What was considered extra ordinary yesterday, is less than ordinary today! Success is a dynamic concept, constantly evolving with time. For me, this was vividly demonstrated at the Paris Olympics 100 meters Men’s Final. In the 1980s and 90s, Carl Lewis was a legendary athlete, winning nine Olympic gold medals and setting a blazing career-best of 9.86 seconds in the 100 meters. In the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he clocked 9.92 seconds to win the Gold Medal. Fast forward to the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Oblique Seville from Jamaica finished last in the 100 meters Men’s Final with a time of 9.91 seconds—a performance deemed below ordinary today and not worthy of any medal. In just three decades, what was extraordinary yesterday has become less than ordinary today. After a while, the past becomes irrelevant. While past achievements were significant at the time, they cannot define our present or future. This is true in corporate culture as well, where People, Products, Policies, Processes and Practices must evolve to stay relevant. Companies that rest on past laurels risk falling behind in a rapidly changing world. Success is not a destination but a journey that requires constant reinvention! #Success #Reinvention #Extraordinary #Ordinary #Leadership #Evolution #Future #Pakistan #Seoul #Paris #Olympics #Carllewis #Gold EFU Life Assurance Ltd.

Well done Sophia you are a great example of how to make things happen.

Watching the olímpics, I imagine everyone’s story to get there. When you are the best in your surroundings, it is another level to confront the reality that others are better. So you learn and keep going. It also shows how people like Guatemalan Adriana Ruano (who just won the first ever gold medal to the country!) came to the olimpics re invented, a gimnast, with an injury, changed sport and succeed. And then you have Odile and Annette from the Netherlands, winning gold in a sailing competion, not because they won the last race, in fact they lost it due to a mistake, they won because all points before count! Now, taking this to a normal life: 1. Enjoy what you do and praise yourself, also be aware that yes, sometimes someone is better than you, or have more experience, so you will get there, so keep learning and working hard. Be humble 2. You might need to quit and re invent yourself, everything you have done contributes to your new projects, new hobbies, new surroundings. The discipline, coaching and hard work will be influencing your next move. You have build up new skills and those will be transferred to your next opportunity. Be resilient 3. Not only your last move counts, it is every hard effort before that counts to win. If you make a mistake, correct it and move on! Be an achiever

It has already happened. The first female driver. Obsolete management structures continue to break down. Talent breaks down ineffective privileges and expands the performance of any organization. A competitive business model simply requires the acquisition of pure TALENT and “drivers” able to bring out the team’s maximum potential. It doesn't matter if they are men or women, the important thing is to work on equal opportunities to ensure the best talent onboard. That’s my point, especially in intellectual sports or high performance organizations. That’s all. It is true that my words could seem a good marketing buzz, but it is good remembering that I explained the concept several times before. Technology and talent are transforming the leadership model and value generating sources. Sailing is the sport with the greatest parallels to the modern business world. Investors know this. We will see the same in the America's Cup sooner rather than later. At this time, SailGP moved forward. Welcome to Martine Grael , the first female driver. You rock it!

With the #Olympics and #Paralympics behind us, there have been enough amazing achievements to ponder about.   Who would have thought that the fastest swimmer on earth would be from #China (Pan Zhanle), the furthest javelin thrower from #Pakistan (Arshad Nadeem), Den Yawen of China winning Gold in BMX cycling (a sport I didn’t know existed), and Ami Yuasa of #Japan winning Gold in Break(dance)ing.   As an Indian from Singapore, I watched both countries with anticipation. While we all hoped for more medals, India's strong Paralympics performance offers hope. The trend is right.   On the #Macroeconomic front though, both countries are powering ahead in their own way. Hopefully, in four years, this momentum will carry onto the global sports stage as well. #ParisOlympics #Paralympics #SportsandEconomy #RVCapital

Two weeks came and went and the Olympics have already had their closing ceremony in Paris and their parade in Singapore. 23 athletes across 11 sports represented our small nation on the global & most prestigious athletic stage. I was away on business trip this past week and have been catching up on all the achievements and victories of team SG: • A bronze medal in kiteboarding from our youngest ever Singaporean Olympic medalist, 17-year-old kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder, • Two new national records in Women's 800m freestyle and 1500m freestyle, swimmer Gan Ching Hwee, • The first Singaporean golfer to compete at the Olympics games, golfer Shannon Tan, • An end to a 12-year absence from the Olympics kayaking event, after missing out on the Tokyo Olympics by less than a second, canoeist Stephenie Chen, • Singapore's first Asian Games athletics champion since 1974, who bounced back from two scholarship rejections and came back stronger, sprinter Veronica Shanti, • And many, many more personal and athletic victories which paved these athletes' way to the Paris Olympic games this year.   Success takes other forms than gold medals: Progress is success. Making history is success. Challenging yourself and competing alongside the world's best is success. Reaching personal goals and milestones is success.   I am proud of the dedication and passion our Team Singapore has demonstrated in representing us to the rest of the world. Let's continue to challenge ourselves to do better and find joy in every victory no matter how great or small!
