What’s Next?... Walk good. 28all. Eya. *KO, WC* The Warm-Up: “Choices that compound: integrity, kindness, eating healthy, 8 hours of sleep, exercise / walking, spending less than you make, more water / less everything else, going to bed smarter than you woke up.” ~Shane Parrish The Core: “Integrity compounds. Dishonesty eventually zeros out.” ~Shane Parrish “Someone asked how much I usually spend on a bottle of wine. I don’t know; half an hour.” ~Ruth Buzzi “In a world that peddles the new and novel, we soak in the wisdom of things that don’t change.” ~Farnum Street “Your mind will keep obsessing over imaginary problems until you get focused on meaningful work.” ~Orange Book “Like anything else in life that we want to see improve, we have to be intentional about it. Success doesn’t happen by accident.” ~John C Maxwell “Never take it personally if I need time to myself. I don’t always know how to communicate that I want to be alone. People are so offended these days.” ~S. McNutt “Chaos theory simply suggests that what appears to most people as chaos is not really chaotic, but a series of different types of orders with which the human mind has not yet become familiar.” ~Frederick Lenz “I don’t think we have any idea what happens next, but something is going [up]…There is so much money about to unleashed with pent up demand like we haven’t seen since the end of ww2.” ~Morgan Housel (on Twitter 3.6.21) “Thesis categories: Top line, Gross margin, Opex, Capex, Balance sheet, Capital allocation. Every narrative is reduced to 1 or more of these categories. Give it a try. If it doesn’t fit in one of these it’s a numberless narrative. That’s not an investment thesis.” ~Paul Enright “Crash course in personal finance: 1) Spend less than you make. 2) Get out of debt. 3) Save 3-6 months expenses. 4) Invest everything else. 5) Be patient & disciplined. Anyone can be a millionaire. You have to understand the rules to the game though. Investors win, savers lose.” ~Anthony Pompliano “Ev’rytime I hear the crack of a whip / My blood runs cold / I remember on the slave ship / How they brutalize the very souls / Today they say that we are free / Only to be chained in poverty / Good God, I think it’s illiteracy / It’s only a machine that makes money / Slave driver, the table is turn, y’all (Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh)…” ~Bob Marley, Slave Driver “Without chaos there would be no creation, no structure and no existence. After all, order is merely the repetition of patterns; chaos is the process that establishes those patterns. Without this creative self-organizing force, the universe would be devoid of biological life, the birth of stars and galaxies—everything we have come to know.” ~L. K. Samuels “These days, fame is disconnected from excellence / Half the time, I gotta ask [playas] what they profession is / Ushered a generation in, these are where my confessions live…If you got a problem with me, gotta walk around it / Used to say I had ‘fore I got it, now I got it all / And bein’ honest, I don’t really wanna talk about it / And if I didn’t have it, wouldn’t wanna sulk about it / I had it so long, I don’t even celebrate it / Negative thoughts don’t even enter my inner matrix / ‘Magine me still rappin’ ‘bout if I never made it…” ~Drake ft. Rick Ross, Lemon Pepper Freestyle Last Set: “The truth is slow ‘cause someone’s always in a rush to hide it / The lies is golden ‘cause the Devil got a touch of Midas / The soul is brighter ‘cause the Holy Ghost is ultraviolet / The tongue is violent when the spirit starts to hunger-striking / The thunder lightning makes the heart go under bunkers hiding / The lungs is silent when it hears the footsteps of the giants…” ~Chance the Rapper, The Heart & The Tongue Food for Thought: “ ‘How have you been able to apply lessons you learned growing up as a young Black man to [Corporate America]?’… That’s a great question with a complicated answer. Two primary things come to mind. Somewhere along the way I picked up that there’s a tremendous amount of disadvantage with being Black. There is also, depending on the environment you’re in, this currency. You know? In many environments, there’s a scarce number of Black folks. Which comes with its own set of challenges. But, on the other hand, if I’m just honest, there’s also this soft bigotry of low expectations. Once you realize it, you can actually turn it to your advantage.” ~Shelley Stewart in Black Magic, by Chad Sanders
