01) 3 Lessons on Managing Criticism from Others

“The moral of the story is: Try to please everyone, and you will please no one.

It’s natural for us to try to win the approval of others, whether it means pursuing a respectable career, following our peers, or acting in certain ways. We crave social acceptance to reassure ourselves that we’re doing the right thing.

But whatever you decide to do, someone, somewhere will have an opinion about it. People might question your motives, your reasoning, or nitpick at the smallest details.

Sometimes, people can take an issue and blow it out of proportion. They take offense over something. They might even make personal remarks.

1. Recognize the source
2. Manage criticism accordingly
3. Know that the issue usually has to do with them, not you

Focus on the Road Ahead”

01) Why Aquaponics is an Amazingly Sustainable Way to Put Food on Your Table

Unfortunately, they figure out really quickly that gardening requires a lot more than digging a hole in the ground and throwing a few seeds in after. Aside from having to use fertilizers, there are a whole host of pests, weeds, and diseases just waiting to feast on your nascent veggies.

But what if there was a way to grow all of those delicious vegetables without having to worry about the meticulous upkeep that still may not prevent your garden from being ruined? Even better, what if this method of farming also provided you with fresh fish and cut the costs of gardening by up to 90 percent? In this article, we are going to show you 7 reasons we think aquaponics is an amazing, sustainable way to put food on your table.”

I do wish they had more description of the ecosystem, itself…But, it’s an interesting article.

01) Montana & New York Governors Enforcing Net Neutrality Using Executive Orders

“Some state legislatures have made it clear they’ll be fighting back against the FCC’s repeal of Title II net neutrality protections, but two governors recently announced that they’ll be protecting net neutrality through executive orders. This move by governors marks another way in which the FCC and Ajit Pai’s authority has been defied after voting to block states from protecting net neutrality themselves.
