So happy for Saquon. 28all. Eya. *CK* The Warm-Up: “Ambitious people often get caught up chasing those who already have what they want, but the irony is that the outlier’s path is only a path for one. Every outlier has to carve their own.” ~Anu The Core: “Do it badly, do it early, do it scared.” ~Dylan O’Sullivan “Obsess over substance, not status. What endures is what matters.” ~Shane Parrish “Pursuing usefulness will make you a lot happier than pursuing happiness.” ~Dan Koe “Doors are opening. The wait wasn’t punishment. It was preparation.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Repeat after me: I no longer fear rejection because rejection is how I learn what isn’t right for me.” ~Mark Manson “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.” ~James Baldwin “Modern luxury is the ability to think clearly, sleep deeply, move slowly, and live quietly in a world designed to prevent all four.” ~Justin Welsh “We forget: In life, it doesn’t matter what happens to you or where you came from. It matters what you do with what happens and what you’ve been given.” ~Ryan Holiday “Being good at your job is one thing. Being a pleasure to work with, both professionally and socially, is another. With experience, you realize that the latter is what takes you far.” ~Menzi “Overthinking is the biggest waste of human energy. Trust yourself, make a decision, and gain more experience. There is no such thing as perfect. You cannot think your way into perfection, just take action.” ~Sylvester McNutt III “How you balance being Batman, Bruce Wayne? / Old chick callin’, but I’m onto new things / She still a dime, but I always lose change / Young Simba, went from bottom of the food chain to a few chains in a new Range…” ~J.Cole, Head Bussa “To succeed and be happy in this world, you have to have a very, very thick skin. If you are outraged, hurt, upset or unable to bounce back from things....this world is going to chew you up, and spit you out. Hard truth: Thick skin required.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Effective people can be scary. Controlling your fear is a superpower. Restraint can be harder than action. The truly scalable superpower is the ability to motivate others - not the ability to be the best IC. Founder mode is most powerful when it inspires your entire org to feel like owners. Fake founder mode is a company with 1 brain and many hands.” ~Michael Seibel Last Set: “I'd like to say he’s exceeded expectations, but he’s always been one of the best players I’ve ever seen whenever I’ve watched him…And I have always known about what kind of person he is because it’s not hard to find that out. So I’m really not surprised by any of this, and I don’t say that in an arrogant way, it’s based on who he is, nothing to do with me, because this is who he’s always been. And I’m just glad everyone gets to see that.” ~Howie Roseman, Executive Vice President / GM of the Philadelphia Eagles, Saquon Barkley, the Eagles and a win for NFL running backs Food For Thought: “To all the kids out there living in small towns, in small houses, with single parents. To the kids who see violence, who see loss, who don’t get the resources they deserve, but who still have big dreams. Know that I was a kid in your exact shoes and this week I’m playing in the Super Bowl. Don’t give up, work hard, keep believing. Where you start doesn’t determine where you end up.” ~Deandre Hopkins, Feb 3rd, 2025
