Let Them #MelRobbins.... 28all. Eya. *JS, WC* The Warm-Up: “If you’re going to do high-level creative work, you have to accept the messiness of your initial creations, knowing that excellence is born from the sisters of patience and iteration. The second you start condemning young and fragile ideas, you’re toast.” ~David Perell The Core: “If you want to change the results, change the energy you bring to the time you commit.” ~Shane Parrish “It’s the work on your desk. Do well with what you already have and more will come in.” ~Charlie Munger “Any day can be life-changing, you just need to be in the right place and have the right conversations with the right person.” ~Orange Book “We admire wisdom because it cannot be borrowed, and it cannot be taught. It must be earned, as the product of experience and honest self-reflection.” ~Naval Ravikant “Master networking. An adept networker has greater social defensive capabilities and is better able to protect himselves from rumors, navigate disputes and avoid coming on the wrong side of controversy.” ~Vizier, The Forbidden Knowledge “When we chase status or a title, we get a label. When we get a label, we get a category. When we get a category, we get a box. When we get a box, we have walls and limits. Our soul doesn’t…follow your soul and you can’t lose.” ~Matt Gottesman “The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Due to a wrongdoing of a land its leaders are many, But by a person of understanding and knowledge, so it endures. A poor man who oppresses the helpless…” ~Proverbs 28 “You are not exhausted, it’s more like your job doesn’t allow you to learn, your friends don’t allow you to truly open up, your family doesn’t allow you to feel understood and be yourself, your lifestyle doesn’t allow you to be healthy, your finances don’t allow you to take risks.” ~Orange Book “People need to know why Florida State was No.5, period. … They averaged 3.4 yards per play against Louisville and the score was tied at three in the third quarter, while Alabama was beating the Committee’s No.1 team.” ~Heather Dinich, on how the CFP Selection Committee’s decision unfolded “ ‘The one thing [students at Crystal Springs Uplands] know is they didn’t have to worry. So there was not a lot of drive, and not a lot of pressure. Everyone went to Stanford.’ He wanted to think about things the other kids had no interest in—including thinking—and he had no interest in what they wanted to think about.” ~Sam Bankman-Fried, Michael Lewis, Going Infinite “One of the most unexpected gifts you can receive is an early loss. 1) Missing out on a job you really wanted. 2) Trying a business idea that fails. 3) Suffering a heartbreak…An early setback can become the catalyst for a wonderful next chapter—if you channel the emotion effectively. Disappointment is a hot burning fuel. Let it light your fire to become better.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1 Last Set: “You know that feeling you get when someone else suggests something smart that you don’t think of? The feeling of defensiveness? Grab hold of that feeling and tear it out of your psyche, roots and all.” ~Moses Kagan Food For Thought: “The people who were good at Magic were those who found it easy to adapt their strategies. As the best strategy was not just hard to know but unknowable, the people who were good at Magic were also comfortable making decisions while being certain that they were uncertain.” ~Michael Lewis, Going Infinite
