AI wont replace you, people using AI will…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *CMcK, JW* The Warm-Up: “Overwhelmingly, I’ve found that there is a broad doorway to enter but a narrow path to belong. Belonging requires intimacy and knowing the codes of how broad beliefs are exercised within a particular group. We can all agree that freedom is important, but the meaning of freedom and how it is manifested depends on the social facts of the tribe.” ~Marcus Collins, For The Culture The Core: “The larger the group, the worse the conversation.” ~Naval Ravikant “Your friend has a friend, and your friend’s friend has a friend; be discreet.” ~The Talmud “An hour before 9 is worth 2 after 5.” ~Ali Abdaal, shares a useful bit of advice he received from one of his medical school professors (James Clear’s, 3-2-1) “Erik Spoelstra who has never won Coach of the Year, advances to the conference finals as an eight seed by beating two coaches who’ve each won the award twice.” ~Rohan Nadkarni “The five women of Sweet Honey in the Rock were alive like fire. Blue. Red. Orange. Yellow. An explosion of beauty and soul. Each woman is so different…” ~Afeni Shakur, Dear Mama “If your opinions on one subject can be predicted from your opinions on another, you may be in the grip of an ideology. When you truly think for yourself, your conclusions will not be predictable.” ~Kevin Kelly “If someone admits they made a mistake, have the grace to let it go. Holding it over them ensures they won’t be quick to admit they were wrong in the future. Outcome over ego.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food, No. 523 — May 7th, 2023 “I’m ten toes down with my husband—always. But I enjoy seeing my boys become who they want to be and just seeing them do what they enjoy. I would say it is a toss-up now.” ~Savannah James, on whose she enjoys watching more (via The Cut) “The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.” ~Sun Tzu “Intimacy isn’t only about sex. It’s having heart-to-hearts, staying up all night talking, sharing childhood memories, thoughts, fears, dreams & hopes for the future. It’s uncontrollable laughter, direct eye contact and feeling each other without touching – it’s energy exchanging.” ~@_Pammy_DS_ “Common points of happy people: They know what they want, have clear goals. They value deep, meaningful relationships. They enjoy helping others when they can. They know what they need to remain healthy, they apply every day. If it’s not worth it, they don’t worry about it.” ~Orange Book “I got like a hundred of ‘em / ‘Bout to lap [playas] so they think they ahead of me / But I’m really in front of them / Now some of them fumblin’ they bags / [Messin’] up the little crumbs that they had / A reminder to humble yourself / This shit could be gone in an instant…” ~J. Cole, in All My Life, ~Lil Durk ft. J. Cole “We wanted to create a game that evokes the feeling of playing golf, in a very approachable and fun way…If you play socially, it generally takes about an hour and 15 minutes for a threesome or foursome, and that depends on how much banter is going on. If you trash talk, it will slow things down.” ~James Wright, President of GOLF+ in This Accessible Golf Game Transports You Into Another World ~Ken Klavion “How’s that dude not an All-Star or All-NBA? …He should be on one of those teams. I wish he were still out West. Man, you gotta respect him as a competitor…He’s got an iron will. There’s something about these Villanova guys, they’re as tough as they come as competitors…” ~Erik Spoelsta, Miami Heat Coach on Jalen Brunson after Brunson’s 41 points in Game 6 “Oh, my heart, it used to beat alone / But now I’ve found a metronome / And once you know, you know, you know, you know / [Chorus] I believe that we can make magic, ha / Baby, we just gotta keep dancin’ / If we happen to never stop dancin’ / I believe that we could make magic / I mix a little pleasure with passion / All my dreams seem to just happen when I’m with you…” ~Allen Stone, Magic “If you got 1500+ on the SAT, attended a good MBA program, and work at a big-name company, take an hour this weekend and drive around the nicest neighborhood in your city. You know what it’s filled with? People not as smart as you, who simply get shit done. Keep that in mind…Caveat to this: 5% of the people in that neighborhood will be neurosurgeons who are, in fact, actually smarter than you. But you get my point.” ~Robert Sterling Last Set: “Understand yourself so their misunderstandings of you don’t become your reality. Understand yourself so the ones who don’t understand themselves cant shake your truth.” ~Billy Chapata Food For Thought: “Your grind will offend the lazy. Your joy will offend the miserable.
23 other truths I’ve learned by losing big, winning bigger, & building true freedom: There will always be 20% who don’t like you and don’t believe in you. Stop trying to convince them. Never confuse ego with competence. That thing your mind keeps coming back to? Just go do it. When people show you who they are, believe them. To grow, focus on people not ideas. Partners are everything, good ones make you and bad ones break you. Spend money to be rich, not look rich. Cheap ain’t always bad. It’s good to do more with less. Invest in assets before it’s comfortable. Fear makes fools of us all. Never make a decision in fear. People over experiences. Experiences over things. Take the trip, learn the skill, move your body. These are the longest-lasting highs. Most problems stem from bad communication. For the easily angered: 1 deep breath solves 99% of regret. Most people are prey, not predators. Gatherers, not hunters. It’s worth it to be the minority who go after what they want. Hold the line. Not everyone responds to love and honey. Bullies respond to strength. Hand wave the guy who cuts you off. In traffic and in life. Sharpen your steel. What if you die never having known how strong you are? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Sometimes, addition = subtraction. Unless you’re uniquely positioned, skilled, or informed… pass on the opportunity. If I won’t be proud I did it when I’m 80, then I’m not doing it at 30. You are in charge of your life. Never give your power up to anyone else. Go out today and tell a hard truth. You’ll be better for it.” ~@Codie_Sanchez, May 13th, 2023
