as fucked up as it sounds, spending energy gives you more energy. you just gotta start

[Graham Stephan @GrahamStephan]

Sat down with a liquid billionaire yesterday.

His best advice for every business owner: Hire a “send and delete” person.

You fire off the request → immediately delete the task from your brain. They handle it. No follow-ups. No mental overhead. Once you hit send, you consider it done.

If you ever have to remind them? They’re not an asset; they’re slowing you down and stealing your bandwidth. Fire and move on as quickly as possible.

This one hire changed how he scales everything. Hope this helps anyone who needs it!

Some of my personal finance rules:

1. most all money goes into index funds. virtually 0 stock picking.
2. stick to a monthly budget
3. meet monthly with spouse to review past spending, discuss if we're happy/not about it, any changes we want
4. try to be intentional about stuff i buy. spend on hobbies that i love, buy stuff that lasts, not disposable amazon junk.
5. assume my private company is worth very little or nothing
6. wanted to maxmize time i can spend without income. very conservative. (even though i know i'll keep working). used to have a sheet that counted the months/years.
7. every month, deposit money into index funds.
8. spend little on things that don't bring joy (luxury clothes, owning a home, jewlery, nice hotels) and a lot of stuff that does (weekly cleaner, nice apartment, eBay clothes, services around the house, trainer)
9. tip a lot
10. say no to most all investments 
11. remind myself that money's a tool to help get to the end game, not the end game.
12. don't let money be the number 1, 2, 3 reason to do a project.

Not for everyone, but these rules help me sleep like a baby.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Too many people are directionless, giving room for many forms of “ the answer” to their problems.

Go to the gym.
Don’t go to the gym.
Only do compound exercises.
Focus on HRV.
Only walk but with a vest.
Must sleep 8 hours.
Must not oversleep.
Must not under sleep.
No meat.
All meat.
All veg.
All farm to table.
Organic is a scam.
No alcohol.
No sugar.
Natural sugar only.
No Rx drugs.
Yes Rx drugs.
Yes peptides.
No peptides.
No HRT.
Yes HRT.

At some point, we will all realize that none of these are the answer. You are looking to fill a hole because your current life has made you an NPC playing someone else’s game by their rules. It’s their game, not yours that is making you unhappy.

Find your game and go play it.

You’ll probably be happy as a result, do a bit of everything from the list above and will end up living to whatever you’re supposed to - very, very happily.

[Denzel Rust @AdemLuz]

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

[Marc Randolph @marcrandolph]

Somewhere along the way, startups got it in their heads that the way to take care of employees is to throw amenities at them.

Kombucha on tap. Nap pods. Fireman poles between floors. Cold brew, hot yoga, catered lunches Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s ridiculous. None of that is what your best people actually want.

What they want is agency — the freedom to make real decisions and own real outcomes. And they want to be surrounded by other people who are just as talented and just as committed as they are.

[dante @dantefofante]

You dont want a yacht. You dont want a big house. You dont want a super car, a $40,000 watch, or shoes you worry about getting dirty. You want free will.

You want to wake up naturally on a Tuesday and you want to go to bed when you’re done having fun. You want to say yes to everything that excites you without having to request time off. You want to go to the the gym at noon, in absolutely no hurry. You want to spend 18 hours a day doing what you love. You want to be exactly where you desire being, always. You want to spend as much time with the people you care about as possible.

You’re saying you wanna be rich? In what?

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.

[blue @bluewmist]

A girl just said she tried to get rejected 1000 times in 2025 and ended up being cast in plays, winning pageants, securing hella paid brand deals, and appearing in commercials.This is your sign to chase rejection to the point of "accidental" success. You'll be surprised.

[Jack Altman @jaltma]

There’s a lot of alpha in putting your ego aside by being willing to be cringe, willing to fail in public, willing to ask for what you want and face rejection, etc.

[Sandeep Kulkarni @moneyworks4u_fa]

I often speak about the "Hedonic Treadmill". For high achievers in their 40s and 50s, this is an ongoing reality. We buy that luxury SUV, buy that Omega/Rolex/AP, take that trip to Lake Como/Northen Lights- and within weeks the joy fades. We need the next buy/trip just to feel the same level of "Joy".

Yesterday, while watching a Mark Manson video, I revisited two Greek terms that describe this: Hedonia vs. Eudaimonia. I thought I should share my learnings with you.

The dumbest and easiest management trick in the book is to just be super positive and encouraging all the time. It really does help, it requires 0 brain cells, and so few people do it that it really stands out. I cannot express just how well this one dumb trick works.

I saw a girl say that when she feels stuck, she imagines she's 85 years old and gets one chance to come back to her younger self for one day, suddenly, everything feels like magic again, the walk, the music, the sunlight, live everyday like that.

wow. im doing this DAILY now.

[SDK @ShivankDineshK]

@emilyinvc Lol, expired. No self respecting, high status man is gonna marry 34+ women regardless of her iq/income.
This post demonstrates how little women understand what men want. We don’t look for intelligent career oriented women, we want someone who is caring, agreeable warm etc.

[Nishant Bhardwaj @Nishant_Bliss]

No matter what you say, no matter what side you take, one thing is absolutely clear to me:

Iran is, by far, one of the most daring countries in the world right now.

It is standing against the United States, a nation with the most advanced military power.

It is facing Israel, again one of the strongest and most technologically superior forces.

It is dealing with pressures across the Middle East… and doing all of this without direct backing from China or Russia.

Even after massive strikes, leadership losses, and continuous attacks, Iran is still standing, still responding, still refusing to bow down.

And honestly, I don’t remember the last 20 years where any country showed this level of sheer courage and defiance.

Say whatever you want about outcomes, politics, or consequences… but one thing is certain in my eyes:

Iran has shown a level of boldness that very few nations would even dare to attempt.

And no matter how this ends, history will remember Iran as a country that had the courage to stand its ground when almost no one else would.

[Siddharth's Echelon @SiddharthKG7]

India is surviving because its middle class decides to send their kids to colleges where they experience a hostel life.

In that hostel life, the dehat is deleted upto a large extent from the minds of these kids. They mingle with different castes & ethnicities, form friendships & romantic relationships, learn to navigate through difficulties of life, learn about different cultures, their food & traditions, deal with breakups & failures.

In these hostels, they even attend their sick friends like a family. They taste their freedom with that first cigarette or a beer. They learn to complete assignments on last moment and hold their nerves even when they are not ready for exams. They prepare themselves for jobs & pull out their families from low income traps. Some embark on journeys to study abroad & see the world.

These kids in engineering, medical, business etc colleges are the only chance for India to grow big & bring prosperity to most of its populace.

The investment made here is not just on education. This is nation-building even when you cannot see it directly. The noise & burden of your birth identity vanishes here and then you hear your inner voice, the voice then grows into a call.

Why do you want to have children?
​This is the best answer.

​Someday in your thirties or forties,
you will suddenly realize
the best things in life
have already happened.
The rest is just repetition and growing old,
year after year, day after day.
But a child washes away the repetition,
making life unknown once again.
They cause you worry, make you care,
bring you joy, bring you surprise,
and let you experience childhood all over again.
They make you understand your parents' state of mind from back then,
give you an excuse to buy the toys you once yearned for but couldn't have,
make you strong in pain, and calm in a crisis.
They let you see your childhood self,
so that you can better understand and accept yourself.
Parents raise the child,
and the child also accompanies the parents.
Parents and children nourish each other,
and fulfill each other.
In the fleeting time,
the child gives us something to look forward to in the future.
I think, this is the reason for having children.

You have built an entire identity around being someone who could succeed if they tried. That identity is a warm blanket. Real action is a cold shower. When you finally attempt something, you risk losing the story that has comforted you for years. What if you try and discover you are average? What if you try and find no special talent? This is not fear of failure. This is fear of ordinariness. So you stay in the planning phase forever. You buy the notebook. You watch the tutorial. You tell friends your idea. Anxiety spikes whenever someone asks for a deadline. You are not protecting your future. You are protecting a fantasy that has already expired.
