Rockhouse, Big Up!…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *SW*

The Warm-Up: 

“Most people will panic to find a charger before their phone dies, but won’t panic to find a plan before their dream dies…” ~Elon Musk

The Core: 

“The motto for getting better at things: Get going, then get good.” ~David Perell

“Everyone wants wealth, few want risks, even fewer want responsibilities.” ~Orange Book

“Nothing destroys an organization faster than a leader with the desire to be well liked.” ~Mike Speiser

“It’s been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that other’s waste.” ~Henry Ford

“The best relationships involve two people who don’t constantly need each other’s attention.” ~Orange Book

“Most of the times it isn’t that people don’t show us exactly who they are. It’s that we don’t want to see it.” ~Maryam Hasnaa

“As you begin anything new, you have to both assume that you’ll fail and that you’ll learn something new that will help you improve.” ~Kpaxs

“Shrinking, erasing, and diluting yourself are not pathways to love. Live the fullness of who you are and those who align will arrive and appreciate you.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“If your Twitter feed is filled with: Arguments, Celebrity Gossip, Politics, you’re doing it wrong. Start over and follow people that: Inspire You, Make You Laugh, Make you Smarter.” ~Brian Feroldi

“Being physically attractive is a great way to get attention. Being mentally attractive is the only way to keep it. Instagram is full of beautiful hopeless romantics who’ve spent all of their time on their appearance, and not enough time on their mind.” ~Steven Bartlett

“How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes? / How come we’ve both become a version of a person we don’t even like? / We’re in love with the world, but the world just wants to bring us down / By puttin’ ideas in our heads that corrupt our hearts somehow / When I was a child, every single thing could blow my mind / Soaking it all up for fun, but now I only soak up wine / They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice / And yet I don’t know anybody who’s truly satisfied…” ~Adele, I Drink Wine

“Move fast because you need to learn fast. The greatest advantage you have in life is the speed at which you learn, so you have to learn fast. Moving fast is about going from not knowing to knowing as quickly as possible. Nothing is real until the ideas in an entrepreneur’s head come into contact with the world. Real customers are the only way to discover that a design is a dud or turn a hunch into a hit. The faster you can go from not understanding to understanding, the likelier it is you’ll succeed—regardless of whether your customers’ initial reactions are positive or negative.” ~Robert Reffkin, No One Succeeds Alone

“ ‘Will this be on the test?’ is a question invented by industrialists. It’s the cornerstone of traditional schooling at scale, because it is such an effective way to indoctrinate kids to become cogs in the system. And it’s almost an accident that we manage to make progress, because we’ve spent so much time encouraging citizens to maintain the status quo: Follow vs. lead. Copy vs. innovate. Authority vs. responsibility. Compete vs. cooperate. Comply vs. invent. Answer vs. ask. Correct vs. possible. Fast-growing organizations and bold leaders want to hire people who have the second skill in the table above. And yet we’re working overtime to encourage the first. What’s on your transcript?” ~Seth Godin, School vs. Progress

Last Set: 

“Many complicated situations become simple once you stop lying to yourself.” ~Orange Book

Food For Thought:

“If you have a million Twitter followers, that means that 99.9% of the people on Twitter are ignoring you, which, with a little rounding, means you have 0%. If you write a book and it sells a million copies, it will be one of the bestselling books of the year. It will also reach far fewer than 1% of the country’s population, never mind the world. There are very few things that ever rise to 1% of the market. Not only don’t you need everyone, the act of chasing everyone is probably keeping you from reaching anyone. Zero (rounded) is enough.” ~Seth Godin, Zero percent market share 

Food For Thought II:

“My words were jumbled as I tried to explain that when faced with the potential for a healthy relationship, my body and mind panicked. That instead of feeling comforted by a loyal partnership, I felt disgusted and afraid. I said I was talking to my therapist about it and that I think it was because what he offered was unfamiliar. Until that point, my closest relationships had been marked by uncertainty and loss, and they felt, perversely, safe.” ~Jessica Slice, He Cared About Me, So I Broke Up With Him
