People. People. People…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *WH*

The Warm-Up: 

“Toxic cultures define success as winning a cutthroat competition. They reward people for stabbing others in the back. Healthy cultures define success as making a contribution. They reward people for having others’ backs. Good organizations elevate those who elevate others.” ~Adam Grant

The Core: 

“What we look for, we find. What we pay attention to, we grow.” ~Kpaxs

“Seems like getting off your ass and getting shit done is about to be back in style.” ~Michael Seibel

“Every night I’m gonna be guarded by five players so I’m gonna turn the ball over.” ~Kevin Durant

“The difficulty of obstacles is always visible while the reality of shortcuts is always hidden.” ~Shane Parrish

“Usually, the better someone does their job, the easier it looks. You rarely realize how hard it is until you try it yourself.” ~James Clear

“The trouble with opportunity is, it never announces when it comes. It’s only after it’s gone, you’d realize that you missed it.” ~Uday Kotak

“Life will never conform to all of our desires. Ever. You can either get good at dealing with this fact or good at avoiding it.” ~Mark Manson

“We can disagree and still like each other. Let’s not conflate disagreement with disdain or hate. Debate with friends is essential for progress.” ~Lex Fridman

“At workplace it’s more common to see people constantly wing something versus take effort and get up skilled. Winging feels cool but comes at constant cost of anxiety and loss of reputation.” ~Kunal Shah

“Relationships are your biggest asset. You can learn so much faster from others. Doing it on your own is slow. Relationships get you in the door. Never underestimate the power of good relationships.” ~Cori Arnold

“People who deny what they have done to you will never offer you peace. Peace is your goal. Not their approval. Not their affirmation. Not their permission for you to heal. Peace…with or without them, in you.” ~Nate Postlethwait

“Speed is important. Work fast and iterate. People rarely remember the first draft, but everyone remembers the final draft. Speed is unimportant. People rarely remember how long it took you to do the job, but everyone remembers how well you did the job.” ~James Clear

“Maturity is knowing your worth without looking down on others, being kind without taking any shit, listening to understand without judging, seeing the good in people without ignoring all the red flags, and being empathetic without taking on their energy, emotions, and problems.” ~@MindTendencies2

“I love the connections that constantly teach me more. About myself, about life, about the world. Connections that hold me accountable when my energy is misplaced, but validate my energy when my concerns hold weight. Connections rooted in selflessness and watered by consistency.” ~Billy Chapata

“If you buy or sell a security and expect an excess return, you should have a good answer to the question ‘Who is on the other side?’ In effect, you are specifying the source of your advantage, or edge. We categorize inefficiencies in four areas: behavioral, analytical, informational, and technical (BAIT).” ~Michael J. Mauboussin, Who Is On The Other Side

Last Set:

“The most important decisions in your life may be whether to marry, who to marry, and whether to have kids. But none of those topics are taught in school. They’re hardly even discussed. How could they be? They aren’t problems you can distill down to an equation, or even a broad principle. People have different personalities, goals, experiences, and levels of chance and serendipity, all of which make universal truths hard to find and difficult to teach. No matter how smart the world becomes, the best answer will always be, ‘You’ve got to figure it out for yourself.’” ~Morgan Housel, Very Important and Hard to Teach

Food For Thought:

“4 goals for the remainder of 2022: say no to situations that burn way too much of your energy. Let your intuition guide you, not your fears or cravings. Don’t listen to the feeling that you need to perform for others. Surround yourself with people who love the authentic you.” ~Yung Pueblo
