You put the crayons in your mouth and then you chew.

What you start to realize is the smartest people in the class never really know.

Because the real class is outside the class.

That's class.

Life is like riding a bike.

As much as Academia tries to convince us otherwise, you can't be taught how to learn to ride a bike.

You must write it and fall to learn balance.

Life is in the nuance not in the classroom.

We spend too much time in the classroom in our early years

The person who controls distribution often earns more than the person who creates the product.

Every man eventually discovers that competence is the only real stabilizer of self-esteem; no amount of praise, affirmation, or philosophical comfort can replace the confidence that comes from knowing you can produce results even when conditions are hostile.

The way you move up is helping others get to where they need to go.

The moment you start doing that that's where you need to go.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

The next time you ask for help, remove your need from the center of the request. Do not tell people why this matters to you. Tell them exactly where it serves their interest, saves their time, protects their position, or increases their gain. People do not move because your reasons feel sincere. They move when the deal becomes visible from their side.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

It's never what you gain, it's what you lose when you gain.

It's never what you lose, it's what you gain when you lose.

Be careful of the categories you put things in.

The brutal thing about growth is that you do not only upgrade your life. You expose the people who were uncomfortable with your growth. Some will mock you. Some will moralize your ambition. Some will act concerned when you become harder to influence.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

You'll be shocked at how intelligent you become through curiosity & humbleness.

They don't announce it, but Academia promotes arrogance in knowledge accumulation.

You realize, knowledge accumulation doesn't make you smart if you're acquire it through a narcissistic perspective.

You loved whom they were not necessarily who they became.

They loved who you were not necessarily who you became.

Life advice: The guy in a "fuck you" hat would almost certainly pull you out of a burning car if needed. Anybody wearing a shirt mentioning "love" or "kindness," meanwhile, might feign concern while watching you burn to death.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

The issue with beauty, intelligence or statuses people treat you differently.

Your reality is distorted cuz of these gifts or whatever you want to call them.

When you're young they're an asset as you get older they become an emotional liability.

Most don't make the connection.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

An insult is often a negotiation tactic. They throw disrespect to see if your wound will lower your price. React and you become cheaper. Stay neutral and the weapon returns empty. The man who does not adjust his behavior after provocation becomes expensive to control in any room.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

Modern academia has turned accountability into victimization.

It's not your fault. It's the system. It's out to get you.

It's simple, stop blaming others for your misfortune's or inequalities.

The moment you stopped pointing the finger is the moment you start walking forward.
