“If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone.” ~Naval Ravikant

“If you look at the people in your circle, and don’t get inspired. You dont have a circle, you have a cage.” ~Nipsey Hussle

Mav City Gospel Choir, Katie Torwalt, Dante Bowe, Naomi Raine, Joy Of The Lord

“I learned a lot. One of the biggest lessons I learned from this is don’t pay attention to other people’s limits. Those are their limits. For me, I felt like I knew where I messed up in those [first two ACL injuries] and I wanted to do it right. And I wanted to see if I could get a go at it and do it right. And if it worked, it worked, and if it didn’t, I would be fine with that. But I knew that I had more in me.” ~Jelani Williams. Myron Medcalf, Penn guard Jelani Williams’ first college basketball home game was 1,795 days in the making

Last Set: 

“She’s riding in a taxi back to the kitchen / Talking to the driver ‘bout his wife and his children / On the run from a country where they put you in prison / For being a woman and speaking your mind / She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled / One conversation, a single moment / The things that change us if we notice / When we look up sometimes… / They said I would never make it / But I was built to break the mold / The only dream that I’ve been chasing is my own… / So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop / Single mothers waiting on a check to come / Young teachers, student doctors / Sons on the front line knowing they don’t get to run / This goes out to the underdog / Keep on keeping at what you love / You’ll find that someday soon enough / You will rise up, rise up, yeah..” ~Alicia Keys, Underdog

Food For Thought:

“The fact is that markets, like life, are constantly changing. Growth outpaces value, until it doesn’t. The dollar appreciates for a while, then falls without notice. Commodities are one moment in a glut, the next in a shortage. Venture capital is the ‘in vogue’ asset class one decade, then anything but the next. Concentration is an advantage, until it is not. Diversification works, then it doesn’t. Even though these patterns are as old as time, few investors manage to sustain success through it all. So, what do those that do have in common? The flexibility to change with the markets.” ~Ted Lamade, Defining Success
