Language is so special, without which there will be no communication. In this video, Martin Hilbert distinguishes between a dialect and a language. Instead of dialects, linguists prefer the term speech varieties. Interestingly, he highlights the English varieties, which include Nigerian English and Malaysian English. Each has its own unique characteristic and pronunciation.

Inspirational Leadership by Simon Sinek
I found this video very inspirational. Simon Sinek started off with the golden circle, that is, three questions to ask, what, how and why? The most important is WHY. Why you do it? He said that we follow those who share with us what they believe in and give us the answer to the why question. And he distinguished leaders from those who lead, ‘Leaders hold a position of power or authority. but those who lead inspire us’. We follow those who lead not because we have to but because we want to. The punchline is we follow not for them but for ourselves.
