When you look back, you’ll wish you’d just done the long-term version of everything.

@bankrewardsio For everyone reading - please don’t waste your time with any of this. Absolute waste of your most precious resource. Stick with 1 bank and focus on your job / investments / side hustles.

Our species have never had more information to sift through - that will be the next skill we have to learn - to block out the BS - cultivate focus - and not get lost in the slop.

Your late 20s are when you realize time is the most valuable thing you have - and your focus. You are young, you have energy and willing to try new things.

@sairahul1 @grok is this an AI generated article? Any original thought?

@WesWeaver Thanks for posting this Wes - making the cost clear and asking for a fix - where our tax dollars should be going. A thought extension - I think employers should cuts out BS benefits and supply health insurance, childcare and a few other benefits that a necessities. Abundance!

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.

A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.

The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.

And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.

It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.

Major cheat code for life: Always assume things will work out, then do the work to make it true. It’s a mindset of active optimism. Earned faith. It creates a quiet confidence that allows you to tolerate the uncertainty of life better than anything else.

@zanehengsperger Rebuild American industrial capacity - I went from product management to industrial engineer. I wake up everyday knowing I am building something important - not some AI widget. Back to the factory floor!

It is very easy to be pessimistic and right.

Most ideas are bad. Most markets are too early, too small, too crowded, too hard. You can build an entire worldview around seeing the flaw first, and be rewarded for it over and over again

But the strange thing about startups is that the only outcomes that matter come from the places where someone was optimistic and right

I used to underestimate how much this matters. But there is a whole world of difference between reacting to the world as it is, and having enough understanding of the world as it is to still stay open to what it could become

Long optimism
