George Orwell will help you achieve your dreams... or destroy you.
In 1 sentence. He said:
"Whoever controls the past, controls the present."
How do you apply this to your own life to either be a success or a failure?

Here we go again. A pair of socialists who think they can tax the UK into growth…
How do we get investment?… tax the gains more.
How do we get more entrepreneurs … tax them if they leave!!
How do we build an economy for the future? … Ignore the current technology that’s transforming the economy.
I’m so sick of career politicians who have never had to run a business in their lives. Their entire adult life is spending other people’s money without any understanding of what it takes to create surplus value.
Let me be clear. To the degree that any socialist policy survives it is underpinned by economic surplus. Capitalism ALWAYS underpins socialism…
Why did China lift up out of near national famine? It became more market driven and attached itself to the capitalist West.
Why did most Western economies pioneer health services and welfare systems in the 1900s? … Capitalism was producing the surpluses to afford it.
If we start taxing the productive economy into oblivion there will not be any surplus to do nice socialist things. If we fall behind the AI race, we will become a third world country relative to the countries that pioneer and develop AI industries.
We are in a fast changing time. There is no rule that says the UK has a god-given right to be a wealthy nation. It is only wealthy if there are successful businesses inside its borders.
Introduce wealth taxes, increase capital gains tax, ignore AI, introduce exit taxes and watch this little island decline into a failing economy.

One of the most profound behavior changes I've had as an entrepreneur, which was against my nature, was to stop seeking out opportunities when I still had problems I needed to fix within my business.
You have to switch from shiny object syndrome to golden BB obsession.
Fixing a hundred small things is more boring but creates the outsized outcomes the shiny object syndrome promises but never delivers.
If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

Born On this day in 1729, Pierre-Simon, Marquis de Laplace was a French mathematician, astronomer, and physicist who made foundational contributions to celestial mechanics and probability theory.
His five-volume work Mécanique Céleste translated Newton’s gravitational theory into advanced mathematical form, explaining the stability of the solar system. He also developed key ideas in statistics and introduced what is now known as Laplace’s equation and the Laplace transform, leaving a lasting impact on mathematics and physics.
Marcus Freeman shares the Golden Standard - the 3 pillars he's building Notre Dame football on.
"I plan on leading this team with an unwavering standard. We will call it the Golden Standard."
The goal is to build a vision, alignment, and belief together.
1. Challenge Everything
"Our leaders challenge normalcy. Challenge everything is a mentality to find a better way."
It means always looking to get better and not just accepting the status quo. It's being humble and hungry.
2. Unit Strength
"Unit strength means love. It's making a choice to love your teammates. It's what turns players into a team."
Great teams come together. They know that the strength of the team is everyone.
3. Competitive Spirit
"It's creating a winner's mindset. I believe that leaders are born, but winners are created. And you're created through intentional actions."
It means competing, being disciplined, and going out to earn it every day.
It doesn't matter what you say - it matters what you consistently do. Nothing beats consistent intentional action.
"And as I previously stated, this standard will be unwavering."
Challenge everything. Love your teammates. Compete with intention.
Your culture is built through daily reinforcement and shared ownership - not speeches.

Marcus Freeman said, "You waste time daydreaming about an uncertain future. Who cares?"
"The future is uncertain. So focus on being the best version of you today."
No one wins tomorrow.
They win today - one rep, one habit at a time.

Top three best moments of my physics degree was the eureka moment of seeing these equations.
And how we can generate one from the other using Special Relativity...
Incredible
