“We may have different stories, but we hold common hopes.” #BarackObama… 28all. Eya. *JG* The Warm-Up: “Optimizing for ‘not being wrong’ is optimizing for the wrong variable. Most of us were trained in school, where being right is the whole game. 100 questions, count the correct answers, get a number, that number is you. But real life doesn’t grade like that. It doesn’t count your correct answers, it weighs them. You can be wrong 9 times out of 10 and still win, if the one time you’re right pays 50x and the nine misses each cost you a little. You can be right 9 times out of 10 and still get wiped out, if the one time you’re wrong costs you everything. Frequency and magnitude are two different axes. So, look at the shape of your bets, not your hit rate. Small downside, big upside, you can afford to be wrong constantly. But big downside, small upside, you can’t afford to be wrong even once.” ~Kpaxs The Core: “Water wouldn’t sound so beautiful without rocks in its way.” ~Marcus Aurelius “I don’t care how close you think you are to people, DO NOT share your business.” ~Nithya Shri “Even in your humbleness it’s okay to remind people that they can’t play with you.” ~@Trill_leelz “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” ~Albert Camus “Nothing kills the human soul like being in the wrong place with the wrong people.” ~Fyodor Dostoyevski “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” ~George R.R. Martin “Kids wake up each day believing in the goodness of things, in the magic of what might be.” ~Michelle Obama, Becoming “The older you get, the more you realize parents who allowed you to face the consequences of your actions were loving you, not punishing you.” ~Dr. Nicole LePera “I feel bad for people who analyze everything to death. Some of the best parts of life happen when you stop trying to make sense of everything and just experience it.” ~@builtbyeli “Everything you want is on the other side of not giving a f***, asking again, and taking another shot. Life gives you endless lottery tickets to try, and you only need one win to change your life forever.” ~Alex Hormozi “From Monday through Saturday, I do everything I can to be the best version of myself…Once I step on the field, it doesn’t matter. The results don’t matter. I get to play from victory, not for victory.” ~Cooper Kupp, The Pivot Podcast “Ask God to restore your appetite for life. Your ideas. Your energy. Your curiosity. Your confidence. Your hope for the future. Sometimes you don’t need a completely new life. You need to reconnect with the parts of yourself you stopped nurturing.” ~Akua Serwaa “A surprising amount of options are unlocked when you realize that the social circle may be responsible for maintaining the version of you that you are trying to outgrow. People often bond around shared pain, hatred of something, same habits and rituals. Change requires you to give up your past self; that is give up your identity around which the social circle is built.” ~@UnmodernmanBot “Sometimes your life improves the moment you stop trying to make every person understand your intentions. Your intentions belong to you. Your actions can be judged fairly, but you cannot control every interpretation. Do your best, correct your mistakes, and keep moving. Constantly defending your character can become another way of abandoning your own peace.” ~@thought_harbor Last Set: “The thing about a 20-slide deck previously taking hours to construct vs having AI now do it in minutes is that the hours it took to create it in the old world meant that everything was thoughtful, crafted, and scrutinized. In the hands of someone good, it made for breakthrough work. AI is making everyone ‘think’ they are good, but it’s getting really tired really fast. I’d say that >50% of the slides I see now are claudeslop.” ~Michael Miraflor
