Antifragile….Walk good. 28all. Eya. *SB* The Warm-Up: “The parts of your story you’re most ashamed of are the parts most needing to be told. Your freedom will free someone else.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis The Core: “A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.” ~Thomas Mann “If you can’t write it, you can’t teach it, and if you can’t teach it, you don’t understand it.” ~David Perell “You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert “Best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eye and see how scared they are.” ~Michael Jordan “In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s possible to be optimistic AND realistic at the same time.” ~Angie Thomas “Demanding people to denounce their friends in public for mistakes they made in private is not ‘accountability’ it’s sadistic.” ~Ayishat Akanbi “Don’t try to maximize your dollar, try to maximize your knowledge. Money only spends once, knowledge can be monetized forever.” ~Tom Bilyeu “What ruins business is people that don’t listen. They think they know the market but actually they don’t know anything at all.” ~Tim Denning, Quiet People in Meetings Are Incredible “If you have an idea but think ‘someone has already written that’ just remember there are 1,010 published biographies of Winston Churchill.” ~Morgan Housel, A Few Thoughts On Writing “Maturity is accepting that there are things you cannot force: People change when they are ready. Creativity moves at its own rhythm. Healing does not have a time limit. Love blooms when things align.” ~Diego Perez (Yung Pueblo) “The healthiest foundation for any relationship is one where you want someone but aren’t depending on them to ‘complete’ you. Complete yourself and then go and have a healthy relationship with someone who doesn’t need you to complete them either.” ~Steven Bartlett “Looking back, most of the excuses I made…not enough time, not enough money, not enough knowledge, not the right connections…were just ways to avoid the real bottleneck. Not enough courage. There was always a small step I could have taken—if I had the guts to take it.” ~James Clear “Upside surprises are a hugely underrated force in politics and diplomacy. They are what break bonds of pessimism and push out the boundaries of what we think possible. They remind us that the future is not our fate, but a choice — to let the past bury the future or the future bury the past.” ~Thomas L. Friedman, President Donald J. Trump: The End “I value independence more than anything else in finance. Doing what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want, is the most incredible thing money offers that too often goes overlooked. Viewing every additional dollar of wealth as ‘Haha, there’s a little bit more independence and a part of my future I now own’ is a fun way to think about it.” ~Morgan Housel, Personal Finance Philosophies Last Set: “Because, to truly understand America, we must open our eyes to the hidden work of a caste system that has gone unnamed but prevails among us to our collective detriment, to see that we have more in common with each other and with cultures that we might otherwise dismiss, and to summon the courage to consider that therein may lie the answers.” ~Isabel Wilkerson, Caste Food for Thought: “Bucs win the NFC Championship. Tampa becomes the first team in 55 years to play a home Super Bowl. Tom Brady is now going to his 10th Super Bowl—10th!—a record that always will stand. And as a kicker, Brady collects a half-million dollar incentive for doing it.” ~Adam Schefter
