The fastest way to learn is to try, fail, and write down why you failed.

Your best performances will come when you are working in a way that is a full expression of you. The work becomes a natural display of your personality. This is when you not only get better results, but also love the activity — because in doing the craft, you feel alive.

4 Harsh Truths About Life:
1. The less you force relationships, the stronger they are.
2. You’re not supposed to accomplish all your goals.
3. No one actually knows what the hell they’re doing.
4. The world doesn’t give a shit about you unless you give it a reason to.

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

People’s desire to belong often defeats their desire to improve. - James Clear My editorial: Hang out with complainers, and those focused on criticizing others you’ll be unhappy & won’t get much done in life. Hang out with doers, you’ll be happy, productive & have a great life.

Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Religion and Politics" is one of the most remarkable books I've ever read.

He provides a solid principle-based understanding of why people around us are so incredibly divided on the topics of religion and politics (online and in-person).
I've been trying to develop a holistic view of those who seem not on "our" side and those who we do consider aligned with us. A balanced view - and that's exactly what he helps anyone do.

Three principles from the book:
1. Intuition comes first, strategic reasoning second
Our moral judgements are first intuitive and then we rationalize them.

2. There's more to morality than harm and fairness
Loyalty, Authority and Sanctity are deeply cared for in morality by people - not just what's harmful and what's fair.

3. Morality binds and blinds
He makes the case that morality evolved as humans did to maintain group cohesion, not just individual righteousness. But it also blinds them to alternative perspectives (leading to tribalism & ideological echo chambers).

Jonathan says: "We are deeply intuitive creatures whose gut feelings drive our strategic reasoning. This makes it difficult — but not impossible — to connect with those who live in different moral worlds." And after reading his beautiful work, I get it now.

Freedom without foundation is just drift. Expression without structure is just noise. Equality without sacrifice is just envy.

“Traditions are experiments that worked”

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Almost every group that agrees on the big things ends up fighting about less important things and becoming enemies even though they should be bound by the big things. This phenomenon is called the narcissism of small differences. Take the Protestants and Catholics. Though both are followers of Christ, some of them have been fighting for hundreds of years, even though many of them are unable to articulate the differences that divide them, and most of those who can articulate the differences realize that they are insignificant relative to the big important things that should bind them together. I once saw a close family have an irrevocable blow-out at a Thanksgiving dinner over who would cut the turkey. Don't let this narcissism of small differences happen to you. Understand that nobody and nothing is perfect and that you are lucky to have by-andlarge excellent relationships. See the big picture. #principleoftheday

"The positive emotion that fills your life with enthusiasm and hope is experienced in relationship to a goal, not as a consequence of its accomplishment."

Succeeding without sacrificing everything (especially the strength of family connections)seems possible with the mentality shown by Joe.

[Joe Hudson @FU_joehudson]

It's only hard if you do it for the future instead of the moment.
It's only long if you force yourself instead of finding alignment.
Hate only matters if it sounds like your self talk.

Struggle isn't in the doing, it is in the fight with yourself.

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

Happy people focus on four things every single day:

1. Faith or life philosophy: Something transcendent that reminds them how small they are.

2. Family: A mystical, irreplaceable bond.

3. Friendship: Deep, non-transactional love.

4. Work: Where they earn success and serve others.

Neglect one, and happiness starts to fade. Nurture all four, and life becomes rich.

[Aryan D. Khedkar @AryanK_0000]

To write the prompt that solves your problem (say for a LLM like Grok 3), you need to understand the problem well & be able to articulate it precisely.

The more precise the articulation of your problem (and perhaps supplementing it with potentially effective methods of solving it), the more accurate of a solution it will be able to provide you.

In the age of AI, our articulation & communication skills (especially written) matter much more than they used to in order to solve difficult problems successfully.

How to manage your emotions

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Everybody thinks about the risk of taking action. Nobody thinks about the risk of inaction.

What are you giving up by NOT talking to her, by NOT picking up the phone, by NOT putting yourself out there?

It's likely far more substantial.

Connection is more of an allowing than a doing.
Enjoyment is more of an allowing than a doing.
Pleasure is more of an allowing than a doing.

Feeling is more of an allowing than a doing.

"Reality is neutral. Our reactions reflect back & create our world.

Judge, & feel separate and lonely. Anger, & lose peace of mind. Cling, & live in anxiety. Fantasize, & miss the present. Desire, & suffer until you have it.

Heaven & hell are right here, right now."

I'm a student who lives right around there and I can say with certainty that they are volatile and vile in their words and actions - they camp out there and then shout at people around that area - the beautiful Waterstones Gower Street has Marxist posters in the toilets because of students like these.
