Onwards. 28all. Eya. *DW* The Warm-Up: “High level alchemy is when someone tries to interrupt your destiny, and you use it as fuel to accelerate along your path.” ~Nika Sole The Core: “Once you realize half of NYC is just adults with allowances, things will make more sense.” ~@signull “Experience is not what happened to you. It’s the meaning you attach to what happened to you.” ~Kpaxs “And a same way suh mi see di enemy a protest (Oh) / And him couldn’t come di closest (No) / A Koffee still a do the mostest / A wah me do put in the work and trust di process / Oh yes, a so we grind right now…” ~Koffee, Rapture “Everyone’s learning python, nobody’s learning logic. Everyone’s learning figma, nobody’s learning design. Everyone’s learning marketing, nobody’s learning psychology. Everyone’s learning sales, nobody’s learning persuasion.” ~Gaurav “What a privilege it is, if you have work you love to do. It rarely comes overnight, and is usually a place you get to over time with a lot of sacrifice along the way. Dig in, enjoy the week ahead, and inspire others who are still on their path to getting there.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “There are things about you [that] are incredibly weird and half of maturity is learning how to lean into those quirks instead of suppressing them because you’ll be at war with yourself until you do. This isn’t a license to be insane, but it’s definitely a license to be distinct.” ~David Perell “From me likkle bit mama told me, ‘Reach fi the sky, Andrae’ / Me no worry ‘bout badmind, ‘cause me know she a fast and pray / Now me shot like Lebron, and dem shock like O’neal, and mi shoes and mi clothes dem real / And man a living legend, and the truth just reveal / Wonder how the haters dem feel?...” ~Popcaan, Inviolable “Finally, the investment world might be less unstable if there were immutable rules – like the one governing gravity – that could be counted on to always produce the same results. But there are no such rules, since markets aren’t built on natural laws, but rather the shifting sands of investor psychology.” ~Howard Marks, Mr. Market Miscalculates “But sh*t ain’t always how it seems when it’s sewn together / Yeah, I let that last line breathe, it take a second to get it / Weston Road flows, my confidence level getting’ settled / Don’t get hyped for the moment then start to backpedal / Don’t let your newfound fame fool you / Or cloud up your judgement to talk loosely, I really do this…” ~Drake, Weston Road Flows “I wasn’t a natural athlete, but I was a gym rat and determined. I never argued with the doubters and never talked about how much work I put in. I always wanted my results to speak for themselves. ‘Cream always rises to the top’ became my mantra. When I began telling people that I wanted an internship – or job – on Wall St., the polite ones gave a patronizing smile. Others openly laughed at me. I paid them little mind and plied on.” ~Isaiah Baker, Cream Always Rises To The Top “Anything that tries to forecast what people will do next works like that. The hard thing is that while the number we know today can be something real and verified, the story we multiply it by is driven by what you want to believe will happen or what makes the most sense. Forecasters get into trouble when the number we know from today gives an impression that you’re being objective and data-driven when the story about tomorrow is so subject to opinion.” ~Morgan Housel, A Number From Today and A Story About Tomorrow “Love your life, love your family / Haffi overcome the struggle, don’t get weary / Beres a cry out fi the poor and needy / Just be careful what them a feed we / Just be calm and be gentle / Respect everyone / Could be your mother, your father, your aunt and your sister / Yes, and your brother (Mhmm) / A me say family / Miss Rhona pray for me / No evilous nor envious cannot devour me / Stay far from poverty / Jah rule me destiny / Shane Brown and Popcaan and Beres, you know we bless fi real…All I know is God is holy / Protect your life it’s your one and only / Evil people will kill you slowly (Mhmm, yeah)…” ~Beres Hammond, Popcaan, God is Love Last Set: “If you feel like you need to constantly fight to be accepted, if you crave validation, you are in the wrong place, you are around the wrong people: the faster you move to a place where people will treat you with respect, the faster you will grow into your authentic, happy self.” ~Orange Book Food For Thought: “Smart people, capable people, don’t let themselves be pigeonholed into one definition. That is a disease of credentialism because we created this university system, and now you have to go to university and get a degree in something. Then people ask, ‘What is your expertise? What is your credential?’ That’s a question dumb people ask. Smart people don’t ask that. Smart people don’t need to know your credentials. They just talk to you for five minutes, and they figure out if you know what you’re talking about or not. A really good person, a so-called natural philosopher, can be good at any branch of anything. Nature has no boundaries. Nature has no concept of mathematics versus physics versus chemistry. It is all one thing. Anyone who’s either meditated, done psychedelics, or read enough books, they figure that out: it’s all one thing. When you find one thing, it connects to the next thing, connects to the next thing, connects to the next thing. And true creativity jumps boundaries. It can go from anywhere to anywhere. It doesn’t have to follow a path of interconnections in between.” ~Naval Ravikant
