Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t want your children to buy.

In the future, the great division will be between those who have trained themselves to handle these complexities and those who are overwhelmed by them -- those who can acquire skills and discipline their minds and those who are irrevocably distracted by all the media around them and can never focus enough to learn.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"

@ADoricko Based approach

[Graham Staman @GrahamStaman]

True.

You can either turn to escapism to try and get away from the world, or you can focus on building a better world.

Building also happens to be deeply fulfilling, rewarding, and exciting.

The tech humanity is developing now has the opportunity to propel us into a great future.

Very bullish on humanity.

This chart is so true and has been a source of support for me for years. I’ve been fortunate to have been part of some exciting successes, but every single one of them have gone through this curve. Persistence in the face of darkness is the most powerful trait of an entrepreneur.

Staying calm when people are going insane is a superpower.

Something undesirable happened?

Make the best move under the current circumstances rather than wishing to return to the previous circumstances.

“Next Play” mentality.

Work vs. luck.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Aim to be great in 10 years.

Build health habits today that lead to a great body in 10 years.

Build social habits today that lead to great relationships in 10 years.

Build learning habits today that lead to great knowledge in 10 years.

Long-term thinking is a secret weapon.

[VV @visualizevalue]

Relax.

Status games are multiplayer, zero-sum, hierarchical, judged socially.

Get grades, applause, titles now - emptiness later.

Natural games are single player, positive-sum, internal, judged by nature/markets.

Pay in pain now - get wealth, health, knowledge, peace, family later.
