Game 6 Klay…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *PB* The Warm-Up: “Some connections feel like work, other connections feel like the water you drink after you’ve put in some work.” ~Billy Chapata The Core: “The connection brings you together, but the emotional maturity is what makes it work.” ~Yung Pueblo “No matter what you think your priorities are, how you spend your time tells the real story.” ~Shane Parrish “A founder is someone who keeps the organization focused on the product and not the organization.” ~Naval Ravikant “Most people are too fretful; they worry too much. Success means being very patient, but aggressive when it’s time.” ~Charlie Munger “What the human being is best at doing is interpreting all new information so that their prior conclusions remain intact.” ~Warren Buffet “Self-confidence is not a gift. It is a skill you develop by taking action, facing challenges, and learning from your failures.” ~Orange Book “Purpose endows a person with joy in good times and resilience in hard times, and this holds true all throughout life.” ~William Damon, The Path to Purpose “Don’t share your goals until they’re fully formed and avoid telling others about your good deeds – not to intentionally keep secrets but to keep the energy pure around both.” ~Femme Muse “Society loves to forget that rest is mastery. Stillness is mastery. The ability to be in the energy of your own solitude, mastery. Cool, you can work yourself to the bone. But what does that mean if you never even got to know who yourself is.” ~Sole “The next time someone pushes you and you find yourself starting to react, try this: Do not resist or fight back, but yield, bend. You will find that this often neutralizes their behavior – they expected, even wanted you to react with force, they are caught off guard.” ~Robert Greene “Show up, even when you’re not that person yet. It’s not about being ‘ready’ but being consistent. If you’re consistently showing up, you eventually catch up to your vision of yourself. And don’t be afraid to be seen trying. Play for where you’re headed, not where you’re at.” ~Matt Gottesman “People who understand how to compound knowledge are hailed as geniuses. People who understand how to compound wealth become immensely rich. People who understand how to compound relationships are loved and happy. Your life is a reflection of whether you understand compounding.” ~Orange Book “One of the most popular self-improvement writers of the 20th century was the Protestant pastor Norman Vincent Peale, who sold millions of books on positive thinking. One of his titles was Enthusiasm Makes the Difference, in which he shares advice from a sage friend: ‘Always be glad when there is trouble on the earth … for it means there is movement in heaven; and this indicates great things are about to happen.’” ~Arthur C. Brooks, A Crucial Character Trait for Happiness Last Set: “Write to be useful, not to sound smart…Most people write to sound smart when they should write to be useful. Communicating to sound smart lowers your potential for impact. The harder people have to work to understand you, the less they want your input. Writing to be useful means writing what you would want to read. Simple, but not easy.” ~Shane Parrish Food For Thought: “When I started on Wall Street, one of my managers said something to me that has stuck for 20+ years: When you start out, you are just being paid to learn, then after about 5 years you are paid for what you know. Somewhere in your 30’s you start getting paid for who you know…Because having a great network isn’t about how powerful, connected and successful you already are. It’s about how generous you choose to be, no matter where you are in your career. Great networking isn’t about how epic and powerful you choose to be with other people each and every day. When you think networking – think generosity. To be a great networker, you have to be patient, selfless, and not goal-oriented…Networking focuses on short-term connection and immediate benefits: Someone meets you at a conference, gets your business card, and sends you an email the next day asking for an interview at your company. Relationship-building focuses on long-term connections and unknown future benefits: You meet someone interesting at a conference, meet up for coffee later in the week, and start sharing ideas, introductions and conversations as you become friends…” ~Ahmed Husain
