Dealing with a lot of ups and downs on the golf course has taught me to regulate my emotions. I still remember one of the first times I lost it on the golf course. When my round was going well, I was on top of the world — but when the ball wasn't going where I wanted it to, I was exasperated. In time, though, I learned how to regulate my emotions while playing — a valuable skill that eventually carried over to other aspects of my life. But swing by swing, I learned how to regulate my emotions even when the game wasn't going as I'd hoped.

☆ Stellantis and Samsung Will Get $7 Billion to Build Battery Factories
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-02 | by ( Jack Ewing | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The Biden administration expanded its efforts to lock in its climate policies on Monday, saying that it would lend almost $7 billion to help build battery factories in Indiana to supply vehicles made by Stellantis, the owner of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram. The financing, which was the second multibillion-dollar loan related to electric-vehicle manufacturing in a week, is part of the administration’s efforts to create domestic supplies of batteries. President-elect Donald J. Trump has vowed to reverse Biden administration policies aimed at promoting electric-vehicle manufacturing. Last week, the Department of Energy said it would lend $6 billion to help Rivian build an electric-car factory in Georgia. Rivian, a relatively new company that makes only electric vehicles, plans to produce sport utility vehicles and hatchbacks at the factory, in Social Circle, near Atlanta.
