Never beg for a seat when you can build your own table…Read the twice…#anonymous…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *TH, PB* The Warm-Up: “Shout out to all my black people. Shout out to all my LGBTQ community. Shout out to all my people dealing with mental health. At the end of the day, we understand it’s bigger than us and it’s bigger than the powers that be. We understand that there’s so many people that are looking up to us, that are looking to see if we say something or if we speak up for them.” ~Raven Saunders, USA Women’s Shot-Put Silver medalist on mental health The Core: “Clever wins the moment. Wise wins the decade.” ~Shane Parrish “Sometimes, God destroys your comfort so that you can fulfill your calling.” ~Steven Furtick “Some people dream of success, while other people get up every morning and make it happen.” ~Wayne Huizenga “Bad deals are about contracts and promises. Great deals are about trust and the alignment of interests.” ~Shane Parrish “Don’t chase the money, the money gonna chase you. All you gotta do is just be great.” ~DJ Khaled on The Shop (Uninterrupted) “Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.” ~Saint Francis de Sales “Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” ~Proverbs 3:5-6 “Jamaica has a smaller population than the state of Connecticut and they just won ALL THREE MEDALS in the women’s 100 meters. Remarkable doesn’t even begin to describe that…” ~D’Arcy Maine “The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change: What gets rewarded, gets repeated. What gets punished, gets avoided. Don’t reward behavior you don’t want to see repeated.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1: July 29, 2021 “Surround yourself with people who value hard work and results over criticism and talk…You usually discover what you truly want in the process of getting what you thought you wanted.” ~Orange Book “It’s frightening to think that you might not know something, but more frightening to think that, by and large, the world is run by people who have faith that they know exactly what is going on.” ~Amos Tversky “The bad days are more important than the good days. If you write or exercise or meditate or cook when you don’t feel like it, then you maintain the habit. And if you maintain the habit, then all you need is time.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1: July 29, 2021 “Wrap your arms around uncertainty. It’s going to make you a better decision maker, because when you acknowledge ‘I’m not sure,’ you naturally view your beliefs as under construction.” ~Annie Duke, from her discussion with Shane Parrish, @farnamstreet “Jamaica’s dominance in the women’s 100m at the Olympics is mind-blowing. 10 of the 12 medals won since 2008 and every single gold since then have been won by Jamaicans. 16 of 30 medals since 1984 have also went to Jamaican women. DOMINATE.” ~Andre Lowe “Bitcoin was never in a bear market. The critics got louder, and new people got scared. The strong hands were accumulating heavily the last few weeks though. It is all right there in the on-chain metrics. Anyone can see the data. You just have to look…” ~Anthony Pompliano “It’s ironic that the people who need tough advice the most, are the least willing to hear it. The thing that made them need that advice (insecurities, trauma, ego) will try and defend itself, deny the truth and villainize the messenger. But the truth is the only way to heal.” ~Steven Bartlett Last Set: “Science is not the truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn’t lie to you. It learned more.” ~Anonymous Food for Thought: “Markets function like highly sensitive instruments, absorbing events and publishing their reaction, be it bullish or bearish. While markets are usually good ‘observers,’ hyper-attuned to current developments, they sometimes seem to view events through either a positive or a negative lens (and to oscillate between the two)... Further, they’re rarely good ‘predictors,’ in the sense of knowing what comes next. Because their reaction to short-run developments tends toward excess, the markets provide a lot of false positives and negatives regarding their significance. But the fact that markets can overemphasize current developments and fail to look far enough into the future doesn’t mean they should be ignored entirely.” ~Howard Marks, Thinking About Macro The Mix-Up: Over the past year, I’ve asked close friends to pen a blog post. I was blown away by many of their posts. Yet, as I was requesting more, I wanted to open the aperture to see if anyone in the community wanted to share.
