Mavhouse…28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “Self-love commitments for 2025– I promise to speak up for myself I promise to protect my energy I promise to live with purpose I promise to give myself grace I promise to honor my calling I promise to forgive myself I promise to keep going.” ~Michell C Clark The Core: “Anytime you mix education and entertainment, you get neither.” ~Naval Ravikant “Knowledge grows when you ask stupid questions. Stupidity grows when you don’t ask anything.” ~Prof. Feynman “Now entering the era where people are gonna wish they had treated you a little bit better. Taking the throne.” ~Nika Sole “You have to work hard to discover how to work smart. You won’t know the best solutions until you’ve made nearly all the mistakes.” ~James Clear “The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.” ~Jimmy Carter, Nobel Lecture, Oslo, December 10, 2002 “We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.” ~Jimmy Carter “The game you play is the person you become; the person you are is the relationships you attract; the relationships you have are the meaning of your journey.” ~Orange Book “If you do not actively choose a better way, then society, culture, and the general inertia of life will push you into a worse way. The default is distraction, not improvement.” ~James Clear “My grandfather once told me: ‘The worst decisions in life are made when you allow your head to talk you into something when your gut already said no.’ I’ll never forget that.” ~Sahil Bloom “You cant be creative if you feel stressed out all the time. You will get more interesting thoughts and ideas if you are simply enjoying your daily life. Your happiest self is your most productive self. The best work environment is wherever you feel free, safe, and relaxed.” ~Orange Book “They ain’t cut as close as him or even broke the skin / See how [playas] ain’t your friends when there ain’t no ends / Don’t care who the case offend, don’t underrate my pen / I got what it takes to win, while y’all thinkin’ I’m trash / Lovin’ the taste of success and this drink in my glass / Watch ‘em cosign that whack [stuff], give it a pass…” ~Method Man & Lauryn Hill, Say Last Set: “When you start caring more about credit than truth, your judgment decays. The scientist racing to publish first overlooks crucial evidence that doesn’t fit their story. The writer chasing popularity loses what made their voice worth hearing. The strange thing is that recognition comes most reliably to those who forget about it and focus simply on seeing clearly.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food, December 29, 2024 | #609 Food For Thought: “I will give anybody listening, one big piece of advice that I’ve passed down to my kids, and maybe just make this a final piece of advice…if you are exposed to a product that can’t tell you the problem that they’re solving, you need to be terrified. Absolutely terrified. So like if I look at DoorDash or Uber Eats, they get food to me faster. I don’t have to leave my house. I don’t have to do anything. I can continue writing my book or doing something on my computer and the food just shows up. They tell you the problem that they’re solving, right? Look at Amazon. They can tell you all the problems they’re solving, but you look at something like Apple Vision Pro, they can’t tell you…You will never see it. You see all the problems that a MacBook solves this, this camera does all this, does all these things. It helps you get this done faster. And you look at Facebook Meta, these are goggles. None of them will ever tell you the problems that they’re trying to solve because it’s loneliness and people needing to anesthetize themselves from being in their own life. And we are in a loneliness epidemic right now. In the midst of all this, we’ve never been more connected, but we’ve never had more loneliness than is in the world right now. And there’s so many products that are out there that are, that seem great, but they can’t articulate what they’re really solving…And it’s usually loneliness, boredom, or a need to anesthetize myself. So I don’t have to think about my life. I don’t have to have to be in my life.” ~Chase Hughes, The Leading Body Language & Behaviour Expert on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
