Bent knees break chains…28all. Eya. *JP* The Warm-Up: “Artificial intelligence is going to do many things for us in the decades ahead, and replace humans at many tasks, but one thing it will never be able to do is to create person-to-person connections. If you want to thrive in the age of AI, you better become exceptionally good at connecting with others.” ~Aaron De Smet, Bonnie Dowling, Marino Mugayar-Baldocchi, and Bill Schaninger, “‘Great Attrition’ or ‘Great Attraction’? The Choice Is Yours,” McKinsey Quarterly, September 2021 [David Brooks, How To Know A Person] The Core: “Reputation is the echo of your actions.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1 “People are not your greatest asset; the RIGHT people are.” ~Jim Collins “Fear is the enemy of open communication.” ~David Brooks, How To Know A Person “Debt defines your future, and when your future is defined, hope begins to die.” ~Kent Nerburn “You have to believe in something, but if it’s a thing, then it’s something else.” ~Naval Ravikant “We do not obtain the most precious gifts by going in search of them but waiting for them.” ~Simone Weil “It’s becoming easier and easier to be social, but exceptional people are built are solitude.” ~Naval Ravikant “The most elusive of human goals: keeping things simple and remembering what you set out to do.” ~Warren Buffett “Only through simplicity can we find deep contentment instead of perpetually striving and living unsatisfied.” ~Richard Rohr “Don’t be in a hurry for others to accept or understand you…be in a hurry to accept your value and build your vision.” ~Matt Gottesman “Sometimes God doesn’t synchronize His agenda with your awareness…That means He’s up to stuff He doesn’t let you in on…but the Holy Spirit will bridge the gap.” ~Steven Furtick, Places Everyone! “Dear artists, entrepreneurs, creatives or anyone building something right now…you’re not crazy, you’re just early…Appreciate others not seeing what you see so you can stay focused.” ~Matt Gottesman “Don’t rush …but hurry. The words matter. Rushing has a built-in excuse. Rushing pushes us to skip steps or ship junk. But hurrying acknowledges how precious this moment in time is. It honors our good fortune to be in this place, able to contribute something generous.” ~Seth Godin “As you gain power, those below you will feel envious of you. They may not show it but it is inevitable. Do not naively accept the façade they show you – read between the lines of their criticisms, their little sarcastic remarks, the signs of backstabbing, the excessive praise…” ~Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power “Trying to change the narrative for someone who has shown you their true colors on multiple occasions is not unconditional love, it’s self-sabotage. Unconditional love sees you through all your lowest moments, but unconditional love also knows when to hold you accountable.” ~Billy Chapata “There is nothing more depressing than waking up every day without a clear idea of what you want from life. Some choose to bury themselves in work, alcohol, foolish drama. That doesn’t fix the problem. The only sustainable peace of mind can only be found in deeper self-reflection.” ~Orange Book “For all you golfers out there, this should be encouraging because it means success can come in multiple forms, so long as you are disciplined enough to stick to what best suits your game. The trouble is few are willing and/or able to do so. Instead, the vast majority of golfers endlessly pivot.” ~Ted Lamade, Risk Seeking vs. Mitigating Last Set: “We can be knowledgeable with other men’s knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men’s wisdom.” ~Michel de Montaigne Food For Thought: “I think this is the most practical way to think about debt: As debt increases, you narrow the range of outcomes you can endure in life. That’s so simple. But it’s different from how debt is typically viewed, which is a tool to pull forward demand and leverage assets, where the only downside is the cost of capital (the interest rate).” ~Morgan Housel, How I Think About Debt
