Miracle Academy…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *KT, AL, JQ* The Warm-Up: “Social media makes more sense when you view it as a place people go to perform rather than a place to communicate.” ~Morgan Housel The Core: “Don’t ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box.” ~Taylor Jenkins Reid, 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo “The Lakers eliminated the #2 seed. The Heat eliminated the #1 seed. This shows that the bubble ain’t a fluke.” ~Ryan Rueda “The people I admire most don’t want new friends. Small, trusted circle focused on winning together for decades.” ~Anthony Pompliano “Relationships are not destroyed by the 3rd person. They are destroyed by the person who entertains the 3rd person while they are in a relationship.” ~@poemsporn_ “People who lack self-confidence love to make fun of others and denigrate their success, that’s how they feel better about themselves, don’t take it personally.” ~Orange Book “ ‘You march on and move forward, son,’ Coach Gaines would tell me repeatedly. ‘Either that or you let it get the best of you, then don’t do shit in life. Your choice.’” ~Stephen A. Smith, Straight Shooter “It’s unreal man. …Kobe was nothing short of amazing, Giannis. I’ve been around some top tier, elite, top five in the NBA talent, but Bron, I’ve never seen anything like it.” ~Darvin Ham, on LeBron’s approach to basketball “In every deal, along the journey from acquisition to sale, there are a thousand little decisions LPs never see. You want the person making those decisions to be doing so in the interest of the whole ownership group, not just her own.” ~Moses Kagan “What gets us into trouble in the realm of power is often our own overreaction to the moves of our enemies and rivals. That overreaction creates problems we would have avoided had we been more reasonable. It also has an endless rebound effect, for the enemy then overacts as well.” ~Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power “Words aren’t just the pieces of speaking, they’re the pieces of thinking. When you wrote them down, you could grasp your thoughts like bricks in your hand and push them into different arrangements. Writing lets you look at your thoughts in a way you couldn’t if you were just talking. Having seen them, you could improve them, make them stronger and more elaborate.” ~Ted Chiang, Exhalations Last Set: “I learned in that season that prayer is about much more than just getting answers or miracles from God. It’s about being with Him, about receiving peace and strength and life directly from Him.” ~Chad Veach, Worried About Everything Because I Pray About Nothing Food For Thought: “The fastest way to find what you’re looking for is to connect, not search. When you search, you’re constantly looking outward comparing what’s visible. When you connect, you’re constantly going inward trusting what you can’t see. When you search, you’re trying to control the outcome. When you connect, you’re allowing what’s already for you. When you search, you’re trying to control time. When you connect, you’re respecting it. When you search, you’re operating from fear. When you connect, you’re operating from knowing. When you search, you chase. When you connect, you receive. Connect with God, connect with yourself, connect with your soul. Your answers are never far away.” ~Matt Gottesman Food For Thought II: “ChaptGPT is said to be statistical with, say, a ~95% accuracy. That’s NOT how experts’ function, only academics, or, worse, students. An expert who DOES things (#skininthegame) & that’s definition of expertise, KNOWS where to limit his or her error rate or have an ASYMMETRY by overshooting in a GIVEN direction. Engineers will NEVER make a mistake of underestimation for the strength or material; pilots will never accept a mistake on landing, etc. This instinct in finding asymmetry is obtained by survival & practice & is difficult to express explicitly, which is why academics almost always blow up in finance.” ~Nassim Nicolas Taleb
