"I like to deal with people where I feel a one-page contract will do the job. If I have to have 50 pages in there to protect me against the guy I'm dealing with, I'll always wonder whether I needed 51." – Warren Buffett

The best 4 minutes of advice you’ll see here:

"We just don't get to be competent human beings without a lot of different investments from others.

Think about those who have helped you become who you are today." —Fred Rogers

I consistently see people rise in life who not the smartest, sometimes not even the most delivery, but they are learning machines.

Albert Einstein in response to not knowing the speed of sound.

"I do not carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books. ...The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think."

Be chef, not a cook.

“I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover," says @chefjoseandres.

A cook uses recipes to create -- learning by analogy. A chef does not need a recipe. A chef learns the taste of each ingredient and can combine the right ingredients to prepare a delicious plate -- learning by first principles. 

In a new world, defined by new killer ingredients like generative and agentic AI, we must all learn to be good chefs. This is the only way we can recognize new ingredients that are required to create new, beautiful, and impactful products and services. AI is electricity for the 21st century, and if we are not operating like chefs, we will be in the dark, unable to produce actions that scale.

The first 25 years you measure success with grades, only to realize that the real value is in learning to learn and critical thinking.

The second 25 years you measure success by how much money you made, only to realize that how you spend time, and with whom, is most important.

The third 25 years is measured by how many people you helped along the way. Did you leave everyone and everything better than when you found them? Do you have family and friends that love and care about you?

🎶 That's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watchin' some good friends screamin', "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets 🎶

There are whole books on psychology that don't get anywhere near this paragraph from Dostoevsky
