Scholz rebukes Vance, defends Europe's stance on hate speech and far right — Reuters

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz delivered a strong rebuke on Saturday to U.S. Vice President JD Vance's [USN:L1N3P50A5 TEXT:"attack on Europe'

I am horrified how Vance spoke about our friends in Europe, particularly my friends in Germany, who have learned from their very difficult past.

@palatinewolfsblog I am so, so sorry for the careless, short-sighted words of the US Vice President. He is a greedy, racist, weak-minded man. He has NO real core values. Remember, at one-time, he compared Trump to Hitler, and anyone who supported him, as contributing to the downfall of our democracy. However, money, and power prompted him to completely change his beliefs to supporting Trump 100%. So clearly, not a man to be trusted and/or respected. Despite the fact that I did not vote for the Trump madness & cruelty, I apologize profusely on behalf of all sane, compassionate and critical-thinking Americans.

Deciding to Have Laser Eye Surgery

One of the things about midlife, more specifically turning 50, was realising the need to future-proof my body.

You Are The Sole Deciding Factor.

Those who have written you off as a loser, are myopic, they can’t see through to your inside, they don’t know the greatness you are carrying on the inside. Hey! Don’t help them, live them to stew in their short-sightedess, but help yourself to reach that happiness, in front of you, go for greatness, don’t be blinded by the narrowness of your detractors, they have no control over what you can…

When short-sightedness is a virtue

On my recent century ride -- which took me an embarrassing length of time -- and in the day-to-day of startup life, I've learned to appreciate the paradoxical truth that "blindness may operate more vigorously than prescience, and the short-sighted effect more than the far-seeing; that limitation and not comprehensiveness is needed for striking a blow." -- Thomas Hardy (Far from the Madding Crowd). 

In other words, best not to consider the full distance or calculate the exact length you've gone, but take a fuzzy math view and keep pedaling.
