"We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, silence is more powerful than words. Our elders were trained in the ways of silence, and they handed over this knowledge to us. Observe, listen, and then act, they would tell us. That was the manner of living.
With you, it is just the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the children that talk the most at school. In your parties, you all try to talk at the same time. In your work, you are always having meetings in which everybody interrupts everybody and all talk five, ten or a hundred times. And you call that ‘solving a problem’. When you are in a room and there is silence, you get nervous. You must fill the space with sounds. So you talk compulsorily, even before you know what you are going to say.
White people love to discuss. They don’t even allow the other person to finish a sentence. They always interrupt. For us Indians, this looks like bad manners or even stupidity. If you start talking, I’m not going to interrupt you. I will listen. Maybe I’ll stop listening if I don’t like what you are saying, but I won’t interrupt you.
When you finish speaking, I’ll make up my mind about what you said, but I will not tell you I don’t agree unless it is important. Otherwise, I’ll just keep quiet and I’ll go away. You have told me all I need to know. There is no more to be said. But this is not enough for the majority of white people.
People should regard their words as seeds. They should sow them, and then allow them to grow in silence. Our elders taught us that the earth is always talking to us, but we should keep silent in order to hear her.
There are many voices besides ours. Many voices…”

I used to say "I won't use my ADHD as an excuse"...
Let me tell ya... If you're saying that... STOP!
It's not an excuse. It's a REASON.
I know we're all super driven over here and I love that! I encourage you to be driven, I WANT you to go after everything you want in life...
But we must all learn where our real limitations are.
I know none of us want to BUT YOU MUST REST.
You need to ask for help sometimes.
You need to say "I'm sorry but I can't do that".
You can own your limitations.
You can say "I'm sorry, I didn't think that through" or "I'm sorry I forgot to do what you asked me" and you can be sincere in your apology without beating yourself up.
At work, if I'm struggling and being scatty I will openly say "I'm having a really ADHD day".
It's not an excuse, it's a reason.

"Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did wrong but you just breathe, walk away and let life take care of them."
I hope this meets you well.

Jim Thorpe was amazing
If you’re a sports fan, chances are you’ve heard of Jim Thorpe. Thorpe was a member of the Sac and Fox nation and while you might know him for making Olympic history as the first Native American to win a gold medal (he actually won two, for the pentathlon and decathlon), you might be surprised to learn he also played professional football, baseball, and basketball. In college, he also played lacrosse and won a ballroom dancing championship. It’s no wonder many consider Jim Thorpe to be the greatest athlete of all time
