For me this is a really hard one. I do love to have a good shout. I have shouted at various times and invariably I regret each and every occasion. I know I know, there are all sort of situations where shouting seems appropriate - the dog stealing Sunday dinner; the kids won't tidy their room; your computer has crashed and the repair department won't fix it quickly enough; they put up the closed sign just as you get to the counter; someone is being stupid and deliberately choosing to misunderstand you. And on and on. But if you take this rule as simple 'I don't do shouting', it becomes an easy benchmark to stick to. You get known as someone who is incredibly calm no matter what is happening. Clam people get trusted. Calm people get relied on. Calm people get looked up to and given responsibility. Calm people last longer.

The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War."
