Patient man ride donkey…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *PH, JG, KO* The Warm-Up: “Mastery of Form / Deformation of Mastery.” ~Houston A. Baker Jr., Modernism and the Harlem Renaissance The Core: “If it’s easy, you’re not learning.” ~Nan “Net worth is measured in dollars. Wealth is measured in free time.” ~Brian Feroldi “The longer you keep up your good habits, the more luck you attract.” ~Orange Book “As you heal, I hope you stop putting yourself last. You deserve care and rest.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Transitioning from knowing better to consistently doing better is a journey in itself.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “It takes years to start getting results, but then they all come at once. Life isn’t linear.” ~Orange Book “We’re all faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” ~Dr. Joe Dispenza “Sometimes the best competitive advantage is just wanting to win.” ~Jarrid Tingle, Managing Partner of Harlem Capital “ ‘Do it well or not at all’ is perhaps the worst popular phrase of all time. You can’t do it well until you’ve done it badly.” ~Jack Butcher “Every winner I know has one thing in common—they pursue big ideas that make the average person uncomfortable.” ~Anthony Pompliano “Learn to see and to feel life…because there are still marvels in the world, because life is a mystery and always will be. But be aware of it.” ~Josef Albers (& Anni Albers) (@_nitch) “You must impress your accountant rather than the neighbors, your cardiologist rather than your gym comrades, your readers rather than book editors, and Sparta rather than its enemies.” ~Nassim Taleb “Never forget that intelligence rules the world and ignorance carries the burden. Therefore, remove yourself as far as possible from ignorance and seek as far as possible to be intelligent.” ~Marcus Garvey “What you think is advanced, your readers will find confusing. What you think is subtle, your readers will find pointless. What you think is sophisticated, your readers will find complicated. What you think is obvious, your readers will find mind-blowing.” ~Tiago Forte “He succeeded brilliantly, identifying everyone with influence and figuring out how they were connected to one another. He mingled everywhere, knew everyone, and had such a vast network of connections that an enemy here could easily be counterbalanced by an ally there.” ~Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power “I never could’ve imagined that angel investing $50k of my money would lead to a track record to raise a $40M fund and that would lead to raising a $134M fund. The $50k was a TON of money for me, but when you invest in yourself others eventually will invest in you.” ~Henri-Pierre Jacques, Managing Partner of Harlem Capital “Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night) / And rock was my pillow, too (doo-oo-oo-oo-oo!) / Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night) / And rock was my pillow, too, Yeah… / I'm saying, Talking blues (talking blues) / Talking blues (talking blues) / They say your feet is just too big for your shoes (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)…” ~Bob Marley, Talkin’ Blues “When you know what to think, you’re ready to compete. When you know how to think, you’re ready to win. Your education teaches you what to think. Life experience teaches you how to think. In school, you’re tested after you learn. In life, the test comes before you learn. Coaches and bosses tell you what to think. Doing the work tells you how to think.” ~Tim Grover, W1NNING Last Set: “On June 19, 1865, about two months after the Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Va., Gordon Granger, a Union general, arrived in Galveston, Texas, to inform enslaved African-Americans of their freedom and that the Civil War had ended. General Granger’s announcement put into effect the Emancipation Proclamation, which had been issued more than two and a half years earlier on Jan. 1, 1863, by President Abraham Lincoln.” ~Derrick Bryson Taylor, So You Want to Learn About Juneteenth? Food for Thought: “I think a lot of people tend to conceptualize that in a different way, which is to say, I should have been willing to pay more. I was penny wise, pound foolish. I got hung up on valuation, whatever it is. Typically, that's just code for a failure of imagination. You didn't appreciate how long that business could grow at that rate, how profitable it could get, how much market share it could take. The way we like to say it is just how right right can be sometimes… Investing is way more about the heart than the mind. It's just a fact that there are so many super smart people and so many super impressive resumes in our business, and there's just not that many great investing records. So what we do is about way more than IQ points. But there are a few temperamental traits that can really take you a long way in markets. And I think you can definitely train for them, accentuate them, improve them. But I think at some level, it's just got to be there. And if it's not, it's hard to teach just from scratch.” ~John Harris—Resilience and Imagination, on Invest Like the Best with Patrick O’Shaughnessy, EP. 230. :: We appreciate your readership.
