"The future rewards those who adapt under pressure, not those who break because of it" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Over the last five days, I’ve shared how we lead ourselves and our organizations through this moment of global volatility—one shaped by economic uncertainty, political instability, and cultural retreat from the future.

Beginning by reaffirming belief in progress, even when it feels stalled

Confronting fear with action

Challenging nostalgia with vision

Spotlighting innovation as the antidote to inertia

Emphasizing the importance of thinking across time horizons—managing today while preparing for tomorrow

But there's something deeper that sits underneath all of that: pressure..
That’s the real test—managing this moment. Keeping our heads on straight. Not letting the negativity consume us or define our future. If there’s one constant through every downturn, disruption, or crisis, it’s this: stress is the defining force of the moment. And how we respond to that stress—organizationally, personally, and strategically—determines whether we fall back, freeze up, or forge forward into what’s next.

That’s why today, it’s not just about planning for the future.

It’s about learning to adapt under pressure.

Every moment of disruption applies pressure. And pressure reveals everything. It reveals which organizations and individuals have foundations that flex, and which ones crumble. It reveals leaders who focus forward—and those who fold under volatility.

Right now, we’re not just navigating an economic downturn. We’re navigating a world defined by compounding stress—market stress, leadership stress, and system stress. But stress, when met with strategy, becomes fuel for the future.

I’ve written about this before: “It’s in our response to volatility that our future is defined.”

The most future-ready companies don’t panic. They channel pressure into progress. They don’t crumble under stress—they restructure, refocus, and realign. They transform pressure into precision—cutting noise, not capacity. They rethink agility, not just in structure but in mindset. They use stress as a forcing function—to do what needed doing all along.

My advice is clear: You don’t rebuild your organization for the next crisis. You rebuild during this one—for the world that follows.

Stress is unavoidable. But breaking is not.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen @fuchsiii obviously, that would've been a good standard for everyone, given that almost all non-#Gaming #Apps these days are #WebApps and at that point we'd not have 100+ MB #bloatware that essentially just loads a #Website and can't even cache shit!

Personally I believe the @europarl_en & @EUCommission could do that and establish as well as enforce an #EC #norm, just as they did with #USBc, #CCS2 and #GDPR!

#Android needs to be better as in being more than just the "lesser evil" compared to iOS!

U.S. putting 'unacceptable pressure' on Greenland with unsolicited visit, says Danish PM
The United States is exerting "unacceptable pressure" on Greenland, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Tuesday, ahead of an unsolicited visit by a high-profile U.S. delegation to the semi-autonomous Danish territory this week.

“The rise of Iran as regional power; its firm stance against pressure in negotiations”

by Ashkan Mombeini in Al Mayadeen English

“Iran’s rise as a regional power is undeniable, and its refusal to negotiate under threats and pressure is a direct consequence of its strengthened geopolitical position”

📰 "Long-read RNA sequencing identifies isoform switching of a novel long non-coding RNA that promotes somatic cell reprogramming"
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20 #Pressure #Cell

bioRxiv · Long-read RNA sequencing identifies isoform switching of a novel long non-coding RNA that promotes somatic cell reprogrammingThe recent development of long-read RNA sequencing (lrRNAseq) technologies has paved the way to the exploration of RNA isoform diversity and its relevance in regulating cell fate and plasticity. However, drawing conclusions regarding the functionality of these newly identified isoforms is still very difficult. Here, we developed a very efficient system to reprogram mouse cells towards induced pluripotent cells and leveraged the strengths of lrRNAseq to study isoform diversity throughout reprogramming. We identified several isoforms derived from novel splice junctions occurring during this process. We demonstrate selective pressure on non-coding isoforms to be tightly regulated. We also show that isoform switching (IS) and diversification play a previously overlooked role in gene regulation to promote functional outcomes for reprogramming. Through IS analysis, we uncovered a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that undergoes IS during reprogramming to enhance the conversion of cells towards pluripotency. Knock-down of this lncRNA in mouse and human embryonic stem cells decreases the level of expression of pluripotency genes, suggesting that it is required for pluripotent stem cell maintenance. Together, our study provides a comprehensive resource to study full-length isoform usage and switching during reprogramming, but more importantly it demonstrates the power of lrRNAseq to identify functionally relevant gene isoforms in the context of pluripotency. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

U.S. keeps up pressure on Zelenskyy to agree to share access to Ukrainian minerals
Kyiv faces sustained pressure from high-ranking U.S. officials to agree to a resource-sharing deal that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has judged is not in his country's interest, under terms Washington has presented.

A burglar comes into your house.

You can stop him at the front door.

During the fight, both sides suffer serious injuries.

An orange man watches from the outside and only talks to the burglar.

He blames you.

He calls this process “making peace”.

From this moment on, the burglar lives in the burglary room.

At the same time, he cleans it out with the orange man.

HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN?
