Anything for Henry T.…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *CdC, PR* The Warm-Up: “Trust your hard work—it’s unlocking doors you can see yet.” ~Anonymous The Core: “Busy is not healed.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Step 1: Make yourself useful. Step 2: Make yourself scarce.” ~Jack Butcher “The best time to invest is when people are still making fun of it.” ~Orange Book “Before God brings you the promise, He will walk you through the process.” ~Devon Broughs “Optimism might not make you successful, but pessimism will ensure you’re not.” ~Shane Parrish “Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.” ~Dan Brown “Don’t hire for culture fit. Hire for culture elevation. Make your culture iterative, even if it’s great today.” ~Harry Hurst “Boundaries don’t work when you’re not being honest with yourself about you how you really feel.” ~Maryam Hasnaa “A wise man once said, ‘Bees don’t waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit.’ Read that again.” ~thelionlaw “You don’t deserve more just because you had a more difficult past. Stop self-victimizing, start taking responsibility.” ~Orange Book “70% of people will never start. 28% of people will commit for a month. 2% of people will do whatever it takes. Choose wisely.” ~Aaron Will “How much truth can a certain mind endure, how much truth can it dare? These questions became for me ever more and more the actual test of values.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche “The hardest thing for a man to do is deal with himself, to introspectively confront his own emotional pain and trauma—so he can stop unjustly inflicting it on others.” ~Jason Wilson “Property listed for 6 months at $4.6mm. We finally offer $4.2mm. Seller wants to think about it for a few days. Seller comes back at $5.2mm. Have a good weekend everyone.” ~Moses Kagan “So many investing teams spend a LOT of time making each investment decision—but so little time thinking about the frameworks / rubrics / systems that they use to guide their decision-making process.” ~Josh Kopelman “Berkshire Hathaway’s Charlie Munger (on Robin Hood): ‘We don’t want to make our money selling things that are bad for people.’…Also Charlie Munger: We own 27% of Kraft Heinz and 9.3% of Coca-Cola.” ~Christian Angermayer “Honest communication is SO rare but SO important. So many of our problems in business and relationships could have been prevented with up-front honest direct communication. The issue is, very few are mature enough to give it and many of us aren’t empathetic enough to take it.” ~Steven Bartlett “Emotional maturity is knowing the difference between your true needs and temporary cravings. Your needs help you live at an optimal level and support your happiness. Cravings are a reflection of your agitation and attachments; they leave you dissatisfied and wanting more.” ~Yung Pueblo, Clarity & Connection Last Set: “Smart partners negotiate fair deals because they know that lopsided deals are fragile and that most value accumulates in long-term trust relationships. You can tell a lot about a potential partner by their opening offer.” ~Naval Ravikant Food for Thought: “It’s so easy to lump everyone into a category called ‘investors’ and view them as playing on the same field called ‘markets.’ But people play wildly different games. If you view investing as a single game, then you think every deviation from that game’s rules, strategies, or skills is wrong. But most of the time you’re just a marathon runner yelling at a powerlifter. So much of what we consider investing debates and disagreements are actually just people playing different games unintentionally talking over each other. A big problem in investing is that we treat it like it’s math, where 2+2=4 for me and you and everyone – there’s one right answer. But I think it’s actually something closer to sports, where equally smart and talented people do things completely differently depending on what game they’re playing.” ~Morgan Housel, Play Your Own Game
