If you ever feel like giving up, watch this:

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

People will constantly attack you in life. One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself – your worth, your abilities, your potential. They will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose – they want to keep you down.

[John Ennis @johnennis]

Just another typical interaction with Claude

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

Sometimes people ask me for career advice, and the only thing I can say that applies across basically every role is don’t work for an insecure manager.

[Aniket Kulkarni @anikul94]

@badbotvivi Another Steve jobs trait

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Remain playful as your responsibilities increase. It's easy to become serious when people and results depend on you, but nearly everyone's performance improves when they proceed lightly through the world.

[Scipio X @FINRA_Robbed_Me]

@stoppfeenin People dont understand how concerning this is. The world is going to have "professionals" with degrees that dont know a damn thing about the career they are in.

[𝒢𝒾𝓁𝒷ℯ𝓇𝓉 @AbakpaJob]

Unless I'm working in an ER, working as a paramedic, or working as a firefighter, there's no reason I should be expected to "thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment." Just fix the terrible management and stop running your office like a circus.

Ian Garry’s brother CALLS him out for lying and pretending he is a victim 😲

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

A mentor once told me this: Reduce the amplitude of the wave. Never get too high on the wins. Never get too low on the losses. Emotional stability is the real cheat code for adapting to the inevitable uncertainty of life.

[Dave Kline @dklineii]

Every CEO I coach asks me some version of the same question.

"How do I find A-players who make sh!t happen?"

At Bridgewater, I ran hundreds of interviews looking for this exact thing. We called it "acting like an owner." Others call it high agency. Here are 5 tests to find it:

[Dave Kline @dklineii]

@Brentus333 Why wouldn’t you give them ownership? Seems crazy to want people to operate that way without fully treating them like owners.

[RAMAYAN @ramayan_69]

Jon Jones knew it all along. 💀

Literally toying with the current BEST heavyweight.

Brain scans show these 6 sentences reduce anxiety activity in seconds.

Save them.

[Veltrx @Veltrxai]

Sam Altman: "You can identify founders who have a chance at creating a $10 billion company. With practice."

Then he shared the experiment that proved it. YC funded 20 teams of strong founders without ideas.

All 20 failed.

> real founders generate new ideas every week, not one big one
> execution speed between meetings predicts success better than anything on paper
> a founder improving fast over 2 months he's been right ~10/10 times on this signal
> the core four: obsession, focus, frugality, love

everyone screens for intelligence. almost nobody screens for slope.

which one would you bet on?

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.

All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.

As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6.

When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?

If a footballer gets 70 G/A over 19 consecutive seasons, they would have 1330 G/A in their career.

Lionel Messi has 1335 G/A.

[Hybrid Athlete Guy @Hybridathlete]

6 years as a firefighter taught me that if you wear your seatbelt, it is very difficult to die in a car crash, even a relatively high speed one.

It also taught me that it is very easy to die if you are not wearing a seatbelt.

I can't tell you how many times I was first on scene to a 50+ mph crash, even head on or rollovers, and the cars were smashed to shit, but everyone in the cars was completely fine, not much more than some scratches or bruises.

In many cases, all occpants were out of the vehicles and walking around before we even got there.

But if anyone wasn't wearing their seatbelt, they were seriously fucked up or dead on arrival.

[Matt Paulson @MediaKing]

Distribution is the only moat.

The quicker you understand this, the quicker you will get rich.

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

One of the greatest speech ever given by a player. This is what happens BTS, that's why they die for him.

Even in that speech, he acknowledged Emi Martinez who just had a baby and could not see his child, you think Martinez won't die for him?

He acknowledged their friends, their families, he acknowledged that they've been amazing for 45 days without complaining about hotels, pitches, etc...

He acknowledged how great they all have been, tell me why they won't give it everything.
