@ryandeiss You're right. Success doesn't always mean slaying a dragon.

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

@aymanalabdul 100%. No matter what fad advice CEOs get about being vulnerable, a scared captain makes a scared ship. It's just a fact. That's why I developed a hacked version of Eastern philosophy - to deal with the internal pressure while my company was scaling at 30% CAGR (and it still is).

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

Success is 1% planning and 99% adherence.

Most people can plan.

Few can stick.

That’s why resolutions die by February.

@aymanalabdul I think there's a balance here. People want to achieve a shared dream that they feel is theirs as well.

Falling down isn't failure.

Staying down is.

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

Opportunities are always disguised as problems.

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

Failure doesn’t define you.

The meaning you give it does.

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

The real enemy isn’t the crowd saying you can’t do it.

It’s the voice in your head that agrees with them.

The graveyard of dreams is filled with people waiting to be sure.

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

The future isn’t scary.
Your imagination of it is.

@will_the_ai_guy @TheRealBradLea Unfortunately, even if you used to use an em dash — now you can't. In all seriousness though, it does suck because I used to use them.

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

That's what I thought, until I kept hurting my back regardless of form coached and monitored by a serious expert. In the end I had to ditch these exact two exercises. Some might get away with it, but that doesn't mean the risk isn't signififcant when 60% of people over 40 have disc degeneration.

@onlyselfexists Yeah that's the thing, we know there isn't an I or a we, but knowledge is an illusion so it ends up circular whenwever we use words.

[Jay Binder @JayBinderMM]

Becoming a meth addict was all on me.

Building a $500m company was all on me.

The difference wasn’t chance. It was ownership.

You can't fix what you don't own.

@david_perell Define "write". I'd say no but I use it to assist.
