For f*ck sake. Be optimistic. Be extreme. Be relentless. The world is waiting for you to raise the bar and finally go all in. Execute. Inspire. Show us what’s possible.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt explains how a simple pen-and-paper habit on weekends helped him take charge of every week:
The habit came from his late coach, Bill Campbell, the legendary executive coach featured in the book Trillion Dollar Coach.
"He really saved me from you know utter destitution and helped me become a proper CEO," Schmidt explains.
The rule is deceptively simple:
Work as hard as you can during the week, then deliberately carve out quiet thinking time on the weekend.
Schmidt describes it like this:
"You work really hard during the week as hard as you can you know 12 hours 14 hour days whatever and on the weekends when you're at home or with your family or whatever carve out a few hours to think... and write down your assessment of what you did last week and then what you need to do next week to address the things you forgot to do last week."
The mechanism that makes it work is the writing itself.
Putting pen to paper turns passive reflection into an active audit of the week behind you and a deliberate plan for the week ahead.
@ericschmidt acknowledges how basic it sounds, but insists that's the point:
"I know that that sounds kind of obvious, but it's a good trick cuz it forces you to take charge of your next week."
He gives concrete examples of what surfaces during these sessions:
"Like, oh, I forgot that I have a sales problem over there, or I forgot I was supposed to call this person. Oh, I didn't have this proposal and I had this idea, but I didn't get to it."
Leadership isn't sustained by working harder inside the week. A few quiet hours and an honest review of what you missed are often what separates reactive operators from CEOs in command of their priorities.
Warren Buffett reveals the ONE skill that's worth 50% more than any degree:
"I was totally terrified of public speaking. I couldn't do it. I would throw up. I mean, I just wouldn't. So I arranged my classes in high school and college so I didn't have to do it"
"I saw an ad in the paper. I went down to Midtown, New York. I gave him a check for 100 bucks to sign up for the Dale Carnegie course. I went back and stopped payment on the check"
"Then I came out here to start selling securities. I knew I had to do it. So I saw another ad and I went down and handed the guy $100 in cash"
"If you improve your communication skills, I will guarantee you that you'll earn 50% more money over your lifetime. It isn't some elaborate formula about options. Go out and improve your speaking and communication skills"

@JamesKowalski88@IslamicSH_ Also, regarding the explanation of "Everything in a clear manner". Classical and modern scholars interpret "explaining everything" to mean Islam fundemantals i.e human salvation, faith, worship, morals ... rather than an encyclopedia of every historical or scientific detail.
@JamesKowalski88@IslamicSH_ The chain of the narration traces back to the prophet , the chain can't have unreliable people , this is done so strictly , it's called the "Science of Hadith" , we don't trust just anyone that calls himself a scholar , there are conditions that need to be fulfilled. Read more.
@JamesKowalski88@IslamicSH_ The reason being is that we interpret the quran through the prophet s.a.w and his companions , and for that we cite the chain narration of every hadith of the prophet , the context (i,e time, place, events hapening..) this alone can make numerous tafasir books.
UNUSUAL🚨: Scientists discover that silence regenerates the brain─ being in complete silence for at least 2 hours a day can stimulate the creation of new brain cells, especially in regions linked to memory and learning.
If you want to achieve anything great, it needs to become your one true priority. The only thing on your mind. Nobody accidentally got rich from business. Nobody accidentally built a great physique. They were obsessed with it for multiple years until it became their default.
@Ronitper Buffett's actual daily habit stack
-Read 5-6 hours
-Protect his calendar obsessively
-Say no to almost everything
None of those are sexy. All of them are the reason he's still relevant at 94. The boring habits are usually the ones that pay the most
An Arabic proverb says; “Keep your house clean like you're expecting guests.Keep your heart clean like you're expecting death.” This hits deep, a reminder we often forget.
