@rahulmalhotra_ No one can lay you off, big guy. Looks like there has been an issue

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Simple mindset shifts:

– I'm not hurt, I'm healing.
– I'm not losing, I'm learning.
– I was not rejected, I was redirected.

Negative things happen. Negative mindsets make them harder.

"Sinners often speak the truth. And saints have led people astray. Examine what is said, not the one who says it."

"Money is not the only way to improve life. Instead of widening your margin of profit, widen your margin of leisure. Instead of optimizing for money, optimize for time. Instead of seeking efficiency, seek recovery."

Criticizing is fast and easy. Creating is slow and difficult.

The two hours you spent on a book or movie usually took two years to produce.

Anyone can tear down someone else's work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.

1. Shopify stock is down 50% over the past 12 months. Its mission may be to "arm the rebels," but it is giving us muskets in a war that is increasingly being fought with machine guns.

Luck is the most overlooked factor in success

Isaac Asimov, talking about school all the way back in 1988.

The highlights:

∙ We mistakenly think that learning is for kids, not adults.

∙ Education isn't something you finish. It's something that should last a lifetime.

∙ Like prison, the reward of school is getting out.

"You don’t need to catch every break if you’re willing to keep trying.

Every winner has an archive of losses, but each attempt creates the chance for a victory.

You need to be patient, but not passive. Active patience."

The Persuasion Paradox

Have you noticed that the most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone?

The most persuasive people don’t argue—they observe, listen, and ask questions.

Argue less, persuade more.

Persuasion is an art that requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer.

Most lucky events in life are opportunities, not outcomes.
The value of an opportunity changes depending on how it is treated. Without effort, good luck becomes a missed opportunity. With effort, good luck can become a life-changing event. You need luck and hard work @JamesClear
