“Massive” week…Shoutout P.E.H! Walk Good. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “You’re going to lose people along the way, and you have to find a way to be okay with that. It’s going to happen, whether you accept it or not. Trying to hold onto dead connections is only going to slow your progress and delay your healing. Let go. Free yourself.” ~Michell C. Clark The Core: “Insecurity is the mother of greed.” ~Will Durant* “Thousands of people don’t like what I do. Fortunately, millions do.” ~James Patterson* “We write things down, both to help us remember, and to help us forget.” ~Naval Ravikant “Smarter people can make you feel a bit dumb, but you are actually getting smarter.” ~Orange Book “If you kill a cockroach, you are a hero, if you kill a butterfly, you are bad. Morality has aesthetic standards.” ~Nietzsche “When you stop hiding what you have to offer and put yourself on the market, only then does your luck increase from 0 to 1%.” ~Dan Koe “Money is like gasoline during a road trip. You don’t want to run out of gas on your trip, but you’re not doing a tour of gas stations.” ~Tim O’Reilly “Mastery is not a function of genius or talent. It is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.” ~Robert Greene “The temptation is to show your adversaries your strength and hide your weaknesses. It is much more effective to show them your weaknesses and hide your strength.” ~Nassim Nicholas Taleb “What I used to consider a flex: *Flashy car. *Expensive watch. *$200 bottle of wine…What I now consider a flex: *Being able to take my son swimming at 1pm on a Wednesday…Freedom > Everything.” ~Sahil Bloom “Money follows deep commitment. There are a lot of people who love to dabble, but honing in & going hard – in one area, consistently – is where you’ll be most rewarded. Be an absolute monster in a narrow area, and you’ll never worry again.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “A few track athletes have figured it out. Track isn’t a sport that promotes you. You must do it yourself! Those able to transcend the sport all self-promoted a uniqueness to attract interest from outside the sport. Bolt, FloJo, Carl, Pre, Gold Shoes! Being the best is not enough.” ~Michael Johnson “One talent mistake I often see people making is to assume a person you knew years ago is still the same person. For example, X may have been a junior PM 8 years ago but now a respected exec at his company. People are often stuck in their original evaluation and lose out on an important hire or botch a negotiation.” ~Sriram Krishnan Last Set: “There are two types of stability: active and passive … People get in trouble when they confuse the two types of stability. Relationships, for example, require attention and care. If you assume that your relationship is passively stable, you’ll wake up one day to divorce papers.” ~Shane Parrish* Food For Thought: “Marketers go after potential customers. Politicians go after potential voters. Fundraisers go after potential donors. But the rise of the Beyhive (and the subsequent failure of the Beyontourage) taught me that there are people out there who see the world the way you do. They hold a similar set of beliefs and ideologies in their minds that inform how they behave. Therefore, based on what we now know about tribal identity and worldview congruence, instead of trying to create a community around you, perhaps you’d be better off trying to find the people who already believe what you believe and facilitating the network that connects them.” ~Marcus Collins, For The Culture Food For Thought II: “A Prayer To Start Your Week: Dear God, may you protect our path, secure us in our being and bless our work. Thank you for bringing us clarity in our choices, the right opportunities that promote us and peace in our energy. You know what we need and the hour we need it and we thank you for receiving all of your abundance that is intended for us each day.” ~Matt Gottesman :: *| Smart Things Smart People Said ~Morgan Housel
