@DeanTTraining What is the primary goal under this premise?

[Sam Parr @thesamparr]

I’m reading a book that’s so depressing that it has made me happy.

Its called 4000 Weeks. 4000 weeks is roughly the average human life.

The premise of the book is:
1. We’ll all die any minute now.
2. Time efficiency hacks just make you more busy.
3. Accept you can do very few things in life and commit to only a few things.

The last thing on commitment, I think is the most important:

“And not only should you settle: ideally, you should settle in a way that makes it harder to back out, such as moving in together, or getting married, or having a child.

The great irony of all our efforts to avoid facing finitude - to carry on believing that it might be possible not to have to choose between mutually exclusive options - is that when people finally do choose, in a relatively irreversible way, they're usually much happier as a result.

We'll do almost anything to avoid burning our bridges, to keep alive the fantasy of a future unconstrained by limitation, yet having burned them, we're generally pleased that we did so.”

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Dan Hurley shares a blunt reminder about what it takes to be great.

"If you can't sit through an hour and 15 minute video session...get out of this industry because this is only for the most competitive people."

The film room isn't glamorous. It's tedious, repetitive, and easy to zone out, but that's exactly why it separates.

The ones who consistently work even when it's boring are the same ones who execute when it matters.

Greatness isn't for the interested - it's for the ones who embrace the boredom of consistency.

Jokic led the league in Assists, rebounds, player efficiency, and averaged a triple double.... And this is our MVP SMH

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's -28 plus-minus is tied with 2023 Joel Embiid for the lowest plus-minus by the NBA's MVP in a clinching opportunity in the play-by-play era (since 1997) 😳

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

Jay Williams says he can’t root for the Thunder because of all the foul baiting:

“As a fan of the game, I just want to see the game respected. There are times where I watch OKC play, I don’t feel like they respect the process of the game. It’s too much foul baiting. When you fall down 95% of every shot you take in the 4th, I get physiologically exhausted”
