This 2 hour Stanford lecture on AI careers will teach you more about winning in the AI race than every piece of AI content you have scrolled past this year.
Bookmark this & give it 2 hours, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you could do this weekend.
I STILL REMEMBER WHAT MY FATHER SAID: "If you need vacations to enjoy your life, you've built it wrong."
Here are 20 habits that make your life feel good on a normal day:
1. Wake up 30 minutes early and sit with coffee watching the sky change color
A growing body of legitimate science has been exploring the benefits of red light therapy for several conditions, from ADHD, to retinal degeneration, to dermatology

i once worked with someone extremely wealthy and what stood out was their mindset and how they never complained about small inconveniences
their coffee order was wrong? they just drank it. flight delayed? they pulled out a book.
they had this quiet acceptance that some things simply aren’t worth the emotional energy while the rest of us stressed over what we couldn’t control, they had already shifted focus to what they could control.
it wasn’t really about money solving problems…
it was about having enough security that they didn’t feel the need to fight every battle... they could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.
My mom didn’t like the girl I was going to marry,
After 4 months, we got divorced immediately.
I lost:
50% of my income
A dream of being a father
Respect from all the family members
When I ask my mother how she knew we were going to get divorced,
This is what she said:
Don Lemon: “Bibi Netanyahu has been saying for 40 fucking years that Iran was two weeks away from a nuclear weapon. Just like Donald Trump has been saying forever — two weeks he’s gonna fix the economy, two weeks he’s gonna bring down the cost of goods, everything is two weeks and none of it ever happens and yet people are still brainwashed by the cult leaders”

if you feel overwhelmed as hell right now, you should.
must read. Doesn’t matter if you’re just stepping into AI, deep in the trenches, or watching from the sidelines trying to figure out how this all works.
One year from now, you’ll wish you had started consciously learning how to use AI.
met a kid at a coworking space last tuesday. 20 years old. makes $11k/month managing google ads for garage door companies.
i asked why garage doors.
he said "i typed random services into google maps and looked for businesses running terrible ads. garage door companies had the worst ads i had ever seen in my life. one of them was spending $4,000 a month sending traffic to a homepage with no phone number on it."
he emailed 60 of them. 9 replied. he closed 4 at $1,500/month and got them actual results within the first 3 weeks.
that was 7 months ago. hes at 8 clients now and just hired his first contractor.
he doesnt post content. he doesnt have a website. he has a gmail address and a google ads account and he picks niches by looking for people who are already spending money badly.
everyone wants to sell to sexy tech companies. this kid is getting rich off garage doors and he cant stop smiling about it.
I saw this post and it stopped me because this is something I’ve been teaching for a long time.
The data isn’t surprising to me. Structure improves relationships. We’ve seen it over and over again with the families we work with at Tensai.
But here’s what I want to add to the conversation.
The reason most parents struggle with structure isn’t because they don’t believe in it. It’s because structure requires something from them first.
Whatever standard you set for your child, you have to keep it yourself. That’s where it falls apart for a lot of families.
You tell your child “no cursing” but they hear you curse.
You tell them “put the phone down” but you’re scrolling through yours at dinner.
You set a bedtime for them but you have no discipline around your own sleep.
Children are watching. And when they spot the gap between what you say and what you do, they stop taking the rules seriously.
Not because they’re rebellious. Because they’re honest.
They see the hypocrisy and they call it out. And most parents aren’t ready for that conversation.
So the first step to building structure for your child is building it for yourself.
Now here’s the part that connects to what I teach daily.
A lot of parents come to us wanting their child to perform better academically. “My child doesn’t want to read.” “My child can’t focus.” “My child hates studying.”
But when we look at the home, there’s no structure supporting that outcome. No dedicated study time. No screen limits. No homework routine.
The child has unfettered access to devices, entertainment, distractions.
Everything in the environment is working against the very thing the parent is asking for.
You can’t demand academic performance in a home that’s structured for entertainment.
Structure is what makes everything else possible. The bond. The discipline. The academic results. It all falls to the level of structure you have in place.
And yes, I agree with the original post. High warmth plus high structure is the winning formula.
You can absolutely have a deep, loving bond with your child while maintaining firm boundaries. Those two things aren’t in conflict. They strengthen each other.
But I’ll add one thing.
Structure alone doesn’t build a child who wants to learn. It creates the environment where learning can happen.
The desire comes from something else. It comes from how the child feels when they study. From what happens after the effort.
From whether the experience is rewarding or punishing.
That’s a whole other conversation. And I’ll share more on that soon.
My man told me something the other day that lowkey rearranged my brain a little.
He said, “I’m not here to control you. I’m not your father, I’m your partner. You’re grown, you can make whatever choices you want. Just know every choice comes with consequences. If you pick something that hurts what we built, that decision belongs to you.”
Then he goes, “I’m always gonna tell you when something hurts me or crosses a boundary, because that’s how real communication works. But if I show you where the line is and you keep stepping over it, then you’re not protecting us… you’re just choosing yourself.”
And yeah… that’s when it clicked for me. Accountability in a relationship isn’t yelling, rules, or control. It’s someone giving you freedom and trusting you to care enough not to misuse it.
It is almost impossible to study the Mexican drug cartels in detail, especially CJNG and the old Los Zetas, without losing a bit of your humanity. I actually went through a period of depression during my PhD while researching what was really going on.
I interviewed 20 women who left their "perfect" relationships and asked what was really missing.
Their answers were not what I expected.
Not one mentioned money, romance, or even time together.
Here is what they actually said…
A therapist who spent 40 years counseling couples on the brink of divorce wrote down the one conversation she wishes every couple would have before they get married.
She said: "If you have this conversation honestly, you will either save yourself decades of pain or build a foundation that can survive anything."
Here is the conversation…
My coworker ended her five-year marriage over something most people would probably call “small.”
She told me that in their home, she naturally took on the chores. She cooked. She did the laundry. She kept things running. It wasn’t something they formally discussed... it just became the routine. And she went along with it.
Then she got sick. Not just a light cold... the kind where your body feels heavy and even standing up is exhausting. For once, she couldn’t function the way she usually did.
That evening, her husband came home, saw the laundry basket, and separated his clothes from hers. He washed only his. Later, he made himself dinner, plated it, and ate. When she asked if he could make something simple for her too, he replied, “I’m exhausted. I don’t have the energy.”
She said it wasn’t even the words that hurt. It was the absence of instinct. The absence of care. The fact that helping her didn’t occur to him automatically the way serving him had always occurred to her.
That night, lying there sick and hungry, she realized she wasn’t in a partnership. She was in an arrangement where her labor was expected, but his effort was optional.
People think love disappears in dramatic arguments or explosive fights. But sometimes it fades in moments like that... when someone watches you struggle and chooses convenience over compassion.
The therapist was blunt.
Your wife is not designed to be your emotional stabilizer.
When she becomes that, she stops feeling like a lover and starts feeling like a caretaker.
Caretaker energy and sexual desire do not coexist for long.
Y volvemos al inicio:
Bad Bunny HOY puede hacer salsa porque AYER hizo trap. Conquistó a los padres, madres y adultos mayores porque ingresó por la juventud. Llegó a lo trascendental y político porque se adueñó primero de lo banal y la moda. No al revés.
Porque no se saltó etapas, lo que en el presente le permite ser tan global como local al mismo tiempo.
Porque esperó y avanzó hasta poder generar una propuesta artística sólida y contundente que pudiera sostenerse por sí sola con un mensaje que resuene.
Porque pasó poco a poco de las líricas sexuales y el palabreo a lo sensual, a lo vulnerable, a lo humano y social con versos vivibles, sin que esto signifique que no pueda revisitar el origen de sus canciones.
Siempre supo acompañar su música de su estética del momento, su estética del momento de sus acciones y sus acciones de conexiones humanas con el público.
Y esta es la construcción artística de una persona, un personaje, un símbolo y un ser humano que con el tiempo se convirtió en leyenda para muchos.
