@uaustinorg @millatuatx @waitbutwhy @SXSWEDU I am so excited about this

[dja@atx @DJA08]

I just stumbled upon this, and it really landed with me.

It also applies to platonic relationships.

I recently had a situation with a work colleague where it was apparent that their intentions were not genuine. This realization hurt me so much. I’ve been trying to process those feelings, and your point about protecting your heart through day 100 is spot on. Maybe it should even be day 1,000.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Or is it just my iPhone 7+’s processing speed?

Since creating the @Navalmanack, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of Leverage — a mental model coined by @Naval.

Here is an overview:

You are your actions, not your words.

If you really wanted to do that amazing/hard thing you tell everyone you're going to do, you'd be doing, not talking.

Jump in the trenches and start doing what you talk about or stop lying to yourself.

"It is not in the still calm of life or the repose of a pacific station that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties."

As a general rule, forgive anything but malicious intent. An understanding and forgiving approach works best most of the time.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

To assert conspiracy is to believe what you want when you are missing data to fully support what you want to believe.

[Naval @naval]

Cola has no “taste memory.” For an addict, it can replace water entirely.

Social media has infinite variation. For an addict, it can replace learning entirely.

Porn can replace sex. Games can replace careers. Sugar can replace nutrition. Drugs can replace motivation.

Entirely.

I bet if you proposed this, you'd get a nonzero number of adherents.
