I really like and emphesize withe this paragraph:

"Being easy to work with doesn’t mean being a sycophant or a pushover. It doesn’t mean not having and expressing strong opinions. In fact, some of the people I find easiest to work with are people who consistently disagree with me! “Easy to work with” means that you act professionally at all times. You disagree respectfully. You seek to understand before looking to be understood. You communicate clearly. You value your commitments."

internetbird··on Ask HN: Have you picked up any new skill from scratch in your 40s or later?
Yes. I started playing Chess in the past year. I realy love it and getting more and more addicted every day. I decided to purchase a subscription for Chess.com where they have lots of video lesson, puzzles and also allow you to analyze the games you play.

internetbird··on Ask HN: What helps you improve your mood and keep your sanity?
1. For me, music that I like and especially Mozart can improve my mood and make me feel much more relaxed and in the moment.

2. Meeting with Friends! although in Covid times it is much difficult. Even if you meet with a friend or family once or twice a week it can make a different.

3. Learning something new that interests you by taking online courses.

4. Sometimes just going offline and just resting and letting you mind wander can improve your mood.
