My dad always used to say “OUTSTANDING IN THE RAIN”
As opposed to simply “outstanding” when he was impressed.
I asked him.
Dad, why the rain?
And he replied
“Son, any jackass can perform when the sun is shining”
I remember this. I remember him withdrawing me from the tournament when I was 6 years old.
I beat the first two adults, then lost 3 in a row.
I asked: Will I be able to beat them at chess when Im grown up?
He replied: Son, once youre grown up, youll beat anyone at anything
Bill and Phil started Nike under the name Blue Ribbon Sports with 1,200 bucks and Japanese shoes they sold out of a car. It took three years for them to have one shitty storefront, and seven years before they designed first shoes using a dirty waffle iron. You know what to do.
As a man, you must EARN your friends.
The harder you work, the more important you become.
The more important you are, the more important your friends will be. And important friends improve your life EXPONENTIALLY.
The whole world runs around who is friends with who.
Mentally - everyone is breakable.
Rigidity breaks.
And you’re finished.
Embrace emotion.
Feel it and control it.
Be sad and enjoy being sad.
Be happy and enjoy being happy.
You won’t break if you constantly bend.
While you get depressed because you aren't where you want to be in life.
Maybe you're broke.
Maybe you're out of shape.
Maybe you just want a different life altogether.
Not knowing that this "depression" you feel is the key to everything you want to change.
Why most people don't earn money in crypto:
1) Random token breaks into the top 100
2) Big YouTubers make videos about it (price goes more up)
3) Early investors sell
4) Now that the token is "known" people want to buy
5) Retail buys = price up
6) Token dumps --> sell at a loss
The best traders aren’t the ones who are good at being *right*, its ones who are good at being *wrong*
Being good at being wrong is 1 of the hardest skills to master
Do you stay stoic after a big loss or an extended losing streak?
Most dont. Because they’re bad at being wrong
