Brick by brick. Walk good. 28all. Eya. *PR*

The Warm-Up: 

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to change the world.” ~Harriet Tubman

The Core: 

“Don’t confuse what I don’t say with what I don’t know.” ~Rob Hill Sr.

“The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” ~Paulo Coelho

“It doesn’t take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.” ~JC Watts

“It’s good to see you reclaiming your true voice, freeing yourself from performing and pretending.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“Writing is the process by which you slowly realize that you do not understand what you are talking about.” ~Shane Parrish

“The patience to wait for opportunity. The courage to take the first step. The diligence to grind. That’s how you turn ordinary to extraordinary.” ~Shane Parrish

“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power – not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.” ~Bell Hooks

“Almost everyone else is faking it. Overconfidence wins and wins and wins…until it doesn’t. It’s a house of cards. Put yourself in position to benefit when the cards topple.” ~Jonathan Bales, The Eight Most Impactful Concepts That Changed My Life (And 30 Other Important Ideas)

“It’s the friends who help you realign with your original mission and values that make a substantial difference in your life. Sometimes it just takes one conversation with someone who is radically authentic to reignite your inner fire and help you get back on the right path.” ~Diego Perez

“Allow beauty to shatter you regularly. The loveliest people are the ones who have been burnt and broken and torn at the seams, yet still send their open hearts into the world to mend with love again, and again, and again. You must allow yourself to feel your life while you’re in it.” ~Victoria Erickson

“Evil asks little of the dominant caste other than to sit back and do nothing. All that it needs from bystanders is their silent complicity in the evil committed on their behalf, though a caste system will protect, and perhaps even reward, those who deign to join in the terror.” ~Isabel Wilkerson, Caste

“The investment process is only half the battle, the other weighty component is struggling with yourself, and immunizing yourself from the psychological effects of the swings of markets, career risk, the pressure of benchmarks, competition, and the loneliness of the long-distance runner.” ~Barton Biggs

“In an age of permissionless leverage, judgment, not work, determines success and failure. Good judgment is the product of a calm and curious mind, reasoning without motivation and attachment. Whatever strengthens your ego weakens your judgment, and ultimately, your success.” ~Naval Ravikant

“Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming and all of your excuses have never gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you deserve better and go earn everything you want.” ~Steve Maraboli

“One lesson I’ve learned is that if the job I do were easy, I wouldn’t derive so much satisfaction from it. The thrill of winning is in direct proportion to the effort I put in before. I also know, from long experience, that if you make an effort in training when you don’t especially feel like making it, the payoff is that you will win games when you are not feeling your best. That is how you win championships, that is what separates the great player from the merely good player. The difference lies in how well you’ve prepared.” ~Rafael Nadal in Rafa 

Last Set: 

“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.” ~Ernest Hemingway

Food for Thought: 

“Optimism always overshoots. It has to. The correct price of any asset is what someone else is willing to pay for it, because all asset prices rely on subjective assumptions about the future. And like a blind man who doesn’t know where a wall is until he bumps into it, markets cannot know exactly how much people are willing to pay until they go a little too far and say, ‘Ah, in hindsight, that was the limit.’” ~Morgan Housel, When Everyone’s a Genius (A Few Thoughts on Speculation)
