The Warm-Up: 

“The problem today is people don’t cherish good people; they try to use them.” ~Bob Marley

The Core: 

“The inferiority complex interprets disinterest as hatred.” ~Ayishat Akanbi

“Rome wasn’t built in a day. But they were laying bricks every hour.” ~James Clear

“If the internet isn’t making you richer or smarter, what are you doing here?” ~Jack Butcher 

“If the work doesn’t require creativity, delegate it, automate it, or leave it.” ~Naval Ravikant

“You don’t have to outwork your competition, but you do have to outlearn them.” ~Sahil Lavingia

“So that man thought that the important thing was to have, and did not know that the important thing is to be. The true perfection of man lies, not in what man has, but in what man is.” ~Oscar Wilde

“People ignore sponsored tweets. People skip Youtube ads. People don’t notice Google ads. Like with viruses, we grew resistant. The new marketing is based on trust. And it takes years to build trust.” ~Orange Book

“The main difference between smart people and the others: when they read something they disagree with, smart people entertain the idea that they might lack the required experience or perspective to understand it. The others assume it’s wrong. Humility. A sign of intelligence.” ~Orange Book

“A lot of people think that we shouldn’t trust others by default because someone might screw us over. It’s been my experience that the benefits of reciprocal trust, speed, and not living with your guard up all the time is more than worth letting yourself get occasionally screwed.” ~Shane Parrish

“As an atheist, I have argued that if religion is erased, something must be put in its place. Belief systems are intrinsic to human intelligence and survival. They ‘frame’ the flux of primary experience, which would otherwise flood the mind. But politics cannot fill the gap…Those who invest all of their spiritual energies in politics will reap the whirlwind. The evidence is all around us—the paroxysms of inchoate, infantile rage suffered by those who have turned fallible politicians into saviors and devils, godlike avatars of Good versus Evil.” ~Camille Paglia

“I think that now we’re thinking deeply about the connection between interior life and what happens in the social world...Self-care and healing and attention to the body and the spiritual dimension...the process of living the way we want to live in the future. Embodying it. We have to imagine the kind of society we want to inhabit. We can’t simply assume that somehow, magically, we’re going to create a new society in which there will be new human beings. No, we have to begin that process of creating the society we want to inhabit right now... For a long time, activists did not necessarily think that it mattered to take care of themselves; in terms of what they eat, in terms of mental self-care, spiritual self-care… Personally, I started practicing yoga and meditation when I was in jail. But it was more of an individual practice; later I had to recognize the importance of emphasizing the collective character of that work.” ~Angela Davis (@__nitch)

Last Set: 

“Just because someone is a family member or friend doesn’t mean they should have unlimited access to you. Nor do they have the right to harm your energy or mental health. Create the boundaries you need. Especially in this tough year.” ~Jarrid Tingle

Food for Thought: 

“Being influenced by the actions of people who are playing a different game than you are. The idea that advice can be good for one person and terrible for another is rarely obvious. Taking your cues and advice from people with different goals, abilities, and desires than you is an easy road to misery. But it’s common, because smart people you look up to tell you it’s good advice. The number of things that are true for everyone in finance is small; everything else is just figuring out how much risk you want to take and what you want out of life, which is different for everyone.” ~Morgan Housel, Common Causes of Very Bad Decisions
