Where else can the underestimated become undeniable. #TheresNoPlaceSports…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *DJ* The Warm-Up: “Perhaps you think that everyone is negatively judging you because you are always silently criticizing them.” ~Ayishat Akanbi The Core: “The great viruses of our time spread through minds, not through bodies.” ~Naval Ravikant “Bad things happen but you don’t need to encourage them to happen by having a bad attitude about things.” ~Thibaut “We’re emphasizing the knowable by predicting how certain people and companies will swim against the current. We’re not predicting the fluctuation in the current.” ~Charlie Munger ‘I got a different definition of procrastination yesterday that made me sit up. ‘Procrastination is the arrogant assumption that God owes you another opportunity to do what you had time to do.’ It hit differently.” ~ovyee, ~theshaderoom “Between AAPL, AMZN, FB, GOOGL, & MSFT, they generated $265.7B in 3Q revenue & $53.0B in 3Q NI; annualized at $1.06T/ $208.0B respectively. This annualized revenue # is greater than the totality of the S&P 500 for every year prior to 2012 for just these 5 companies.” ~John Street Capital “We’ve all been on road trips in life. But we never allowed the fear of the trip stop us from the destination. See the trip shouldn’t be in fear but in excitement knowing where you’re headed and what your end result will be. Do things happen on the road trip of course they do…People get in accidents, cars break down, people get tired, and anxious. But you can’t allow fear of not knowing what will happen stop you from this beautiful journey called life.” ~Tim Karsliyev “It’s right in front of you…You all have good people and opportunities right in front of you. Whether you choose to see them or not, or to believe in your worthiness & step into them or not…is up to you. The alternative is to continue with resistance, playing small and trying to prove yourself to other people also in the same cycle. Getting what you want is not hard when you lean into what’s better for you and work in that direction instead of wasting your time proving why the other is not. Swim downstream, not up.” ~Matt Gottesman “Imagine how hard it would be to learn how to write if you couldn’t read the works of great authors. Who would be your inspiration? Who would you admire? Whose nuanced tricks and tips would you follow? It would make something that is already hard even harder. It’s difficult to learn from what you can’t see. Which helps explain why it’s so hard for many to build wealth. The world is filled with people who look modest but are actually wealthy and people who look rich who live at the razors edge of insolvency. Keep this in mind when quickly judging others’ success and setting your own goals.” ~Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money “Here’s the thing about privilege: everyone has it, to some degree. I think when some people hear the word privilege, they get defensive, but I’m here to tell you that having privilege, or being privileged, is not the problem. Entitlement is the problem. I think of it this way: privilege is a hand-me-down heirloom, rooted in the circumstances you’re born into; entitlement is something you procure and choose to wear. There is nothing wrong with being privileged, as long as you use your privilege to help others who lack it. It’s as if you’re at a concert and someone shorter than you is standing behind you and can’t see the stage; you would probably move aside to let them stand in front of you, right? It’s only a slight inconvenience, you didn’t get any shorter, and you both get to enjoy the show.” ~Arlan Hamilton, It’s About Damn Time Last Set: “For art focuses on the single grain of rice, the tree-shaped scar, and the names of people, not only the number that arrived. And to the artist one can only say, not to be confused, [sigh] not to be confused. You don’t waste your energy fighting the fever; you must only fight the disease. And the disease is not racism. It is greed and the struggle for power. And I urge you to be careful. For there is a deadly prison: the prison that is erected when one spends one’s life fighting phantoms, concentrating on myths, and explaining over and over to the conqueror your language, your lifestyle, your history, your habits.” ~Toni Morrison at Portland State, May 30, 1975 Food for Thought: “What are we ignoring today that will seem shockingly obvious in a year?... How much have things outside of my control contributed to things I take credit for?... How do I know if I’m being patient (a skill) or stubborn (a flaw)? They’re hard to tell apart without hindsight.” ~Morgan Housel, I Have A Few Questions
