That baggage claim guy tho…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JG* The Warm-Up: “Trust your hard work—it’s unlocking doors you [can’t] see yet. ~Anonymous…That misspelling on the last edition was MY bad! But it also helped paved the groundwork for: “The people who have the ability to fail in public under their own names actually gain a lot of power.” ~Naval Ravikant The Core: “Hard skills get you in. Soft skills get you far.” ~Sahil Lavingia “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” ~Leo Tolstoy “A wealth of options creates a poverty of commitment.” ~Shane Parrish “Showcase your thinking and opportunity will find you.” ~Jack Butcher “Even emotions have to let go when the truth has center stage.” ~Tavares Bussey “Stop looking for support in those that don’t have the capabilities to be anchors.” ~Joe Holder “You don’t need to predict how everything will play out. Just master the next step and continue moving in the right direction.” ~James Clear “20% of the time reading and researching, 80% of the time taking action and executing. Do not just read read read. Take action, otherwise, there’s no point.” ~@LifeMathMoney “A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that…he is going to be a beginner all his life.” ~Robin Collingwood “You can’t expect people to change if you keep rewarding the status quo. In every kind of relationship, you get what you reinforce. Don’t feed the hand that bites you.” ~Adam Grant “Wise and clever people learn early on that they can display conventional behavior and mouth conventional ideas without having to believe in them.” ~Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power “You can argue with people who are always trying to pick fights, or you can work on your top priority, but not both. All the energy that goes into arguing comes from doing.” ~Shane Parrish “Results don’t come linearly. You can make tons of efforts for years with little to show for, and suddenly get rewarded all at once within a few months. That’s what patience is about.” ~Orange Book “Envy keep your pockets empty, so just focus on you / If you broke and clownin’ a millionaire, the joke is on you / Money ain’t everything, I never say that (Never) / But [playas] throw stones knowin’ they sell they soul to get wherever they at (Come on, man)…” J. Cole, Applying Pressure “Listen with intent. The focus you bring to asking specific questions about what’s being said in real time makes others feel heard. This is a big one. Being a good listener is about two things: 1) Demonstrating that you’ve heard exactly what was said by the other person, and 2) encouraging them to continue.” ~Chris Fralic, How to Become Insanely Well-Connected “If you recognize that BS is ubiquitous, then the question is not ‘How can I avoid all of it?’ but, ‘What is the optimal amount to put up with so I can still function in a messy and imperfect world?’ If your tolerance is zero – if you are allergic to differences in opinion, personal incentives, emotions, inefficiencies, miscommunication and such – your odds of succeeding in anything that requires other people rounds to zero. You can’t function in the world, as Pressfield says. The other end of the spectrum – fully accepting every incidence of nonsense and hassle – is just as bad. The world will eat you alive.” ~Morgan Housel, The Optimal Amount of Hassle “Who’s a better student? The one with a 3.95 GPA or the one with 3.96? Neither or both, actually. These metrics are foolishly and incorrectly precise. The decisions that led to this average had far more than a hundredth of a point of randomness and judgment calls along the way. Who’s richer? Someone with 3 billion dollars or someone with 3.1 billion? They’re both the same. They can buy anything they want and one won’t run out of money before the other. And the same goes for clickthrough rates, body temperature and most of the other ‘measures’ of our life that deserve air quotes around them. Just because we can increase the digits doesn’t mean we can see more clearly.” ~Seth Godin, Insignificant digits Last Set: “Everyone’s potential regrets are different. I may regret decisions I make today when I’m 90. But I won’t regret the motivation behind making them. My internal locus of control is strong. I am frequently wrong, but rarely misguided.” ~Paul Enright
