Hunger gets you to the top, dedication keeps you there. #jordanburroughs. Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JQ, WM* The Warm-Up: “Feel compliments as deeply as you feel insults.” ~James Clear The Core: “Don’t confuse a life-lesson with a soulmate.” ~Unknown “You don’t need more time, you need more focus.” ~Shane Parrish “I stopped feeding people who just want a plate to go.” ~Tim Karsliyev “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” ~Socrates “Success is acquired through initiative and courage not overthinking.” ~Orange Book “See a little, see a lot. See a lot, see nothing. Pay attention to the little things.” ~Dr. Kevin Elko “Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.” ~Alan Watts “Life is never boring when you are curious. You cannot experience both feelings at the same time.” ~Thibaut “You can get almost anything you want out of life, as long as it’s one thing and you want it far more than anything else.” ~Naval Ravikant “When you define savings as the gap between your ego and your income you realize why many people with decent incomes save so little. It’s a daily struggle against instincts to extend your peacock feather to their outmost limits and keep up with others doing the same.” ~Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money “Thus, assets and asset classes are inherently interconnected. Money moves from one asset class to the next in search of the best bargains, which get bought up until they’re at equilibrium with everything else. Changing the risk-free rate has the potential to reset the returns on everything.” ~Howard Marks, Coming into Focus “How did I go from sleeping at the airport to getting the first yes? The answer to this question is a combination of things: grit, tenacity, conviction, hope, determination, and earnestness about my mission. But the engine that powered it all was information. I acquired information and then wielded it as needed.” ~Arlan Hamilton, It’s About Damn Time “Put your effort into the things that return substance to you. Your greatest power is in the present. Be here. Be audacious. Be yourself. You’re not asking too much. Enjoy growing, soon there will (be) no question of your value. Having the vision first means you must be disciplined the longest. Keep showing them you’re built different!” ~Rob Hill Sr. “I can tell you, in a loud world, the silent are making the most noise…and you don’t even see them coming. The internet may be loud at times, but that does not mean its occupants are making the most noise. In fact, the more quiet ones build…They don’t announce. They don’t beg for validation or praise. They don’t blame or remain a victim. They draw, design and paint their future…every step of the way. They quietly learn themselves, their behaviors, their strengths, their gifts, their goals and their needs. They pop out every now and then to let you know they are still journeying but sooner or later they pop out in a way you never saw coming.” ~Matt Gottesman Last Set: “A wise person once told me, ‘let people do what they wanna do, so you see what they’d rather do.’ That’ll answer all the questions you have.” ~Anonymous Food for Thought: “There are two sorts of projects. In the first, you’ll need to show your work. Show us why the logic holds up. Tell us how this has happened before. Explain the best practices you’ve learned from and the standards you’re following. In the second, you’re taking a leap. Simply guessing or going on instinct. Either path can work, the problem is when we confuse them. Perhaps we’re doing something that is based on what’s come before, but we refuse to examine, measure or compare, insisting that history doesn’t apply. Or worse, when we’re going on instinct and assert that it’s actually a reliable, proven path forward. If the stakes are high and the outcome needs to be reliable, we hope you’ll be able to show your work. And when it comes to the part of the project that’s yours and yours alone, the part that isn’t based on what’s come before, show no work. And plan accordingly.” ~Seth Godin, Show No Work Other tings: Megan Thee Stallion: Why I Speak Up for Black Women
