Piazza.2: Just know that it refers to center and well. #codenames…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *PR, WC* The Warm-Up: “God breaks the heart again and again and again until it stays open.” ~Hazrat Inayat Khan The Core: “The quality of your work matters more than the size of your audience.” ~Shane Parrish “The lower your valuation, the less people want to invest. Few understand this.” ~Harry Hurst “Being kind and letting people take advantage of you are two different things.” ~Orange Book “People wonder how you keep your calm. The don’t know you grew up in a storm.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Yeah, I don’t want to talk about 3-1, I don’t got a lot of good experience with that.” ~Chris Paul, on the Suns’ 3-1 lead “People aren’t ignoring you. They are busy with their lives. And the way to stop feeling ignored is to get busy with yours.” ~Alex Panos “The world outside you is not in your control but the internal response to that world is, and to consciously choose is your greatest power in life.” ~@Kpaxs “Pessimism: everything will be bad. Complacency: everything will be great. Reasonable optimism: if you can endure enough bad it’ll eventually get pretty great.” ~Morgan Housel “Furious / Curious: They rhyme, but they have opposite meanings. It’s very difficult to feel both emotions at the same time, and one is far more productive than the other.” ~Seth Godin “Would I still be interested in learning this thing if I couldn’t ever tell anybody about it? That’s how I know it’s real. That’s how I know it’s something I actually want to know.” ~Naval Ravikant “When you ask the best investors in the world what their greatest investment mistake has been, they will usually say some version of ‘I sold a great asset and should have held it forever.’” ~Anthony Pompliano “Show up and do your job. Don’t speak for anyone else. Don’t criticize others. Put the team first. Pay attention to the details. Avoid the drama. Focus on getting better than yesterday. Repeat.” ~Shane Parrish “Asymmetric opportunities: Invest in startups. Create a book, podcast, video. Create a (software) product. Go on many first dates. Go to a cocktail party. Ready a Lindy book. Move to a big city. Buy Bitcoin. Tweet.” ~Naval Ravikant “Knowing how to make money is a totally different skill than knowing how to manage money...Sharing your strengths with others impresses, but sharing your weaknesses with others, connects you to others. Strengths impress, weaknesses connect.” ~Chris Powers “If you see them grinding, either contribute to that or get out of the way. You don’t have to understand every single step of the journey, but at least respect the focus. Always remember: The more value you add to the vision, the more time you get on the mission. Can’t force you to support where I’m going, I just ask that you don’t distract me while I’m working.” ~Rob Hill, Sr. Last Set: “Very few people are able—or willing—to bet on themselves. They become the assistant manager of their own lives, waiting for directions and approval from some higher authority because they don’t feel confident enough to make decisions and take action on their own. Confidence is the ultimate drug, and Winning is the ultimate dealer. It’s the cure for doubt and insecurity and panic and low self-esteem, the antidote to the free fall you experience when you’re losing control, the vaccine for fear and weakness. But there’s no prescription for it, and no one can give it to you. Either you feel it deep in your gut and bring it out, or you don’t.” ~Tim Grover, Winning Food for Thought: “I think in those very early days, such a high percentage of feedback that I got was negative or some form of a disagreement with just the core vision that it felt very core to my identity almost. And so I put up a real wall to negative feedback. And someone told me [this] great piece of advice, ‘You should really try to hear people’s feedback. You don’t necessarily have to listen to it.’ And that’s a very helpful lens in general, for leadership, which is trying to absorb feedback and wrestle with it and then decide what decision you want to make. But you’ll get even far more credit if it’s clear that you’re someone who is paying attention to different points of view. And then over time, I guess you get so comfortable with feedback where now it’s almost like a source of excitement for me when someone on my team disagrees strongly with me about something. Because then it makes you ask yourself this question. ‘Why do I feel so confident about this thing being one way or another?’ And that creates its own interesting debate.” ~Will Ahmed - Optimizing Human Performance, Founders Field Guide with Patrick O’Shaughnessy :: We appreciate your readership.
