The devil is a liar…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JD, AB, KP*

The Warm-Up: 

“Truth doesn’t need persuasion to convince, only time. The harder someone tries to persuade you, the less likely what they say is true. Time reveals what opinion conceals.” ~Shane Parrish

The Core: 

“Being nice to people has exceptionally high ROI.” ~Ryan Denehy

“You improve your luck by improving your work ethic.” ~Orange Book

“Knowledge is collecting ideas. Experience is simplifying ideas. Creativity is combining ideas.” ~Matthew Kobach

“Those who are not growing will attempt to derail your growth. Protect your time, mind, and dreams from detractors.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“Your competitors are so busy chasing short-term results, they fail to notice what is possible in the long run. Ultimate outcomes over first outcomes.” ~Shane Parrish

“Novice writers try to sound smart, professional writers try to write clearly, and masters try to communicate emotions that stir the reader’s soul.” ~David Perell

“Your own family will talk shit about you when you’re in the process of breaking all their generational curses. This ain’t for the weak.” ~Denzel Washington

“The man of power welcomes conflict, using enemies to enhance his reputation as a surefooted fighter who can be relied upon in times of uncertainty.” ~Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power

“People will help you if they like you, it’s that simple…People don’t dislike you for a few words you mistakenly said, they secretly disliked you from long ago, and finally found a convenient pretext.” ~Orange Book

“A lot of problems happen when you try to accelerate the path you’re already on. Spending less money than you make and investing the difference will make you rich, it just takes time. Trying to win the lottery wont. The lack of patience changes the outcome.” ~Shane Parrish

“Lions spend most of their time relaxing but turn into focused predators when there’s food nearby. Writers should also spend most of their time relaxing. But when it’s time to write, they tune out distractions and be 100% focused. Whenever you write, turn on ‘Lion Mode.’” ~David Perell

“When inexperienced, search for help instead of asking for it. Build your own knowledge base before you ask for someone to give you theirs. When experienced, ask for help instead. Your knowledge has limitations, and if you have a proof-of-concept people [are] more likely to give theirs.” ~Joe Holder

“Every day, you need to compete at a higher level than the day before. Small decisions. Little changes. New challenges. Bigger ambitions. You’re not going to make a million bucks or build your empire or win a championship in one day. You’re going to compete for it every day for infinite days. That’s how you become not just a competitor, but a true competitor: You get better every day for a long time. Not accidentally, but intentionally.” ~Tim Grover, W1NNING

“Only time I play the back and forth is Aaliyah record / If I let you talk first, then nobody is speakin’ second / Fluent in passive aggression, that’s why you actin’ dismissive / Hearin’ me out for once would require you actually listen, damn (Damn) / The boy is back, I never turned my back / I just lapped ‘em, so now all that they see is my back… / Whenever I tell the truth, you feel like you bein’ attacked / But that come with bein’ attached, so how ‘bout we leave it at that?” ~Drake in Wasting Time, Brent Faiyaz ft. Drake

Last Set: 

“The secret to business: Do what you say you’re going to do, over and over and over, again. Over the long haul, it’s about reliability and consistency. Money can’t buy either of those—they must be earned.” ~Chris Powers

Food for Thought:

“The most efficient calendar in the world – one where every minute is packed with productivity – comes at the expense of curious wandering and uninterrupted thinking, which eventually become the biggest contributors of success…Same in investing. Cash is an inefficient drag during bull markets and as valuable as oxygen during bear markets, either because you need it to survive a recession or because it’s the raw material of opportunity. Leverage is the most efficient way to maximize your balance sheet, and the easiest way to lose everything. Concentration is the best way to maximize returns, but diversification is the best way to increase the odds of owning a company capable of delivering returns. On and on, if you’re honest with yourself you’ll see that a little inefficiency is the ideal spot to be in.” ~Morgan Housel, Casualties of Perfection
