Iceman + Patrick Ewing...28all. Eya. *JP, IB* The Warm-Up: “When you value comfort and security more than growth and learning, most big changes appear as threats rather than as new adventures for your development and enrichment.” ~Tom Morris The Core: “If I’m ignoring you, it’s because you weren’t on the journey up.” ~Simone Biles “Complexity impresses your peers. Simplicity impresses your buyers.” ~Codie Sanchez “People be tryna figure out why u so blessed whole time u just a genuine person lmao.” ~Melz “The oak fought the wind and was broken. The willow bent when it must and survived.” ~Robert Jordan “Stop wasting time thinking about the monsters that may or may not be up ahead. Focus on the moment.” ~Ryan Holiday “F**k your mood… …do the workout …build the business … quit the job …do the work …keep the promise.” ~Leila Hormozi “I love it when someone unconsciously reveals just how intelligent they are by the jokes they make and find funny.” ~@ninegrewal97 “People will see you with great vibes, shining bright, peaceful inside, and assume you’re only love and light. Like, do you know how ruthless you have to be to win the spiritual war? Of course I carry a sword.” ~Nika Sole “Living around optimistic, intelligent, high-energy people, is an underrated competitive advantage. No negativity, no drama, no mood fluctuation to deal with: you learn from each other, you stay focused on your own goals, life just gets better.” ~Orange Book “ ‘At the top, the best are rarely separated by their skill, they are separated by their mindset.’ You’ve seen it when watching a sports game – when incredibly talented athletes crumble…or pull out a win because they never gave up. Mindset matters in business too.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Operating from a position of strength allows you to master your circumstances rather than be mastered by them. One reason the best in the world consistently make good decisions is that they rarely find themselves forced into a decision they don’t want to make by circumstances.” ~Shane Parrish “You barely remember the existence of most people you met in the past ten years; the same goes for them, they don’t remember you, they don’t care; never be afraid of being your authentic self, most encounters lead nowhere, but some will flourish, you will attract who you deserve.” ~Orange Book “What annoys me the most is messy writing. Writing is the midwife of understanding. No one is obligated to understand your words, it’s your job to make yourself clear. The reader isn’t dumb, you just didn’t communicate it properly. You’re not esoteric, you’re just not articulate.” ~@SchrodingsBrat “Stop assuming you can save people who aren’t willing to participate in their own rescue. You will only drag yourself down. It’s physically and mentally exhausting. You can’t put out fires for people who are addicted to the flames. Set them free, and let life get be their educator.” ~@TheOracleReadsU Last Set: “A sign of elitism is being well-rounded. Skilled in intellectual foreplay, raw athleticism, cultural literacy, grace under pressure, proper decorum, global cultural & financial literacy, ancient esoteric wisdom, steadfast integrity, discreet generosity, lifelong appetite for learning, curated networks, an appreciation for the arts, understated confidence & nonchalant elegance. It’s not about what you see – it’s about what you don’t see.” ~Shefali Manoj Patel Food For Thought: “In college I had read Nassim Taleb’s works and his praise of risk takers and entrepreneurs stuck with me. I’ve had the opportunity on multiple occasions to have dinner with Taleb through a coterie of finance professionals and friends in NYC. As much as he harped on how important personal risk taking was, the truth is that many of his closest followers were little more than corporate strivers and rat-racers. I pushed them on how they could praise a man’s work while ignoring the core of his message. The evasions they provided were rote: they had families to support and social standings to uphold. These excuses always struck me as pathetic.” ~Isaiah Baker, From Goldman Sachs Trader to Parking Lot Striper
