Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent #NapoleonB…28all. Eya. *LL* The Warm-Up: “You don’t need to be the fastest learner, you need to make your mind about the few things that you really want to do, and execute with a much longer timeframe than most people. There isn’t much competition left after the first few years. After a decade, it almost feels lonely.” ~Orange Book The Core: “Winners are never judged by how… They save that for the losers.” ~Yellowstone, S3/E9 “The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.” ~Benjamin Graham “Turns out no amount of fundraising, press, buzz, amazing employees, and / or cool tech guarantees you product market fit.” ~Michael Seibel “The professional loves her work. She is invested in it wholeheartedly. But she does not forget that the work is not her.” ~Steven Pressfield, The War of Art “When you tolerate an error, you rob yourself of learning. When you ruminate on an error, you rob yourself of happiness. Notice it, improve it, and move on from it.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1 “Sky is the limit for her and what she can do on the court, in terms of her impact in the game but also the court as well…It’s been fun to watch her journey.” ~Steph Curry gives Sabrina Ionescu her flowers “Allow people to learn their lessons without imposing your energy on them. Allow people the room to grow without shrinking their narrative. Sometimes love means allowing people the freedom to make their own mistakes so they can become who they need to be.” ~Billy Chapata “[On Angry People] They are so sensitive to slight that it becomes comical how much they take personally. More comical still is their belief that their outbursts signify power. The truth is the opposite: Petulance is not power, it is a sign of helplessness.” ~Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power “People who built their whole identity around one attribute, being wealthy, being influential, being good-looking, being smart, often feel very uncomfortable when they casually get outcompeted by someone who didn’t even care about any of that, and was just having fun with life.” ~Orange Book “The cars, the jewelry and all the other dumb s---…I see a lot of these young kids—they get so unfocused about stuff that is so material that they could lose they focus. Just worry about the game. If you worry about the game, everything will take care of itself.” ~LeBron James, on his advice for younger basketball players “I’m sorry but the desire to have ‘haters’ is only if you weren’t cool in childhood or didn’t play sports / were active. You learn this lesson early on. Haters always part of it. By the time you reach adult hood the point is not even CARE about haters, it’s just to do the good work. You don’t focus on it as a unit of measurement. At the end of [the] day you realize the biggest hater is one of those internal voices you learn to control / work with.” ~Joe Holder Last Set: “As long as you’re putting God first and making sure you’re leading how the Lord guides you, it will always be well. Even when you stick the landing 100% of the time, people will still misunderstand you and try to put you down. Only by looking to Jesus (author and finisher of our faith) will you always know that you’re on solid rock and not sinking sand.” ~LL Food For Thought: “It felt like a lot of pressure, and my identity was kind of caught up in that record. I hope everyone in the media takes time to understand that [Caitlin Clark] is not just a basketball player but a young woman that has feelings and emotions. She carries it with grace, but there’s a lot to handle there. If anything, make sure that we show her love outside of her performance. She’ll break it. I’m excited for her.” ~Kelsey Plum, on Caitlin Clark breaking her scoring record
