24 years ago today, Alex Ferguson claimed his United team were a better side than Arsenal, despite The Arsenal winning the double that year.
Arsène Wenger was asked his thoughts on these comments, his response was: "Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home."
In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell explained why some people succeed & some don't.
This talk reveals:
• Why ability is overrated
• Why effort alone isn’t enough
• How systems quietly decide outcomes
12 lessons from Gladwell that'll permanently change how you think about success:
If the law is against you, argue the facts.
If the facts are against you, argue the law.
If both the facts and the law are against you, argue procedure.
If procedure, law, and facts are all against you — settle.
A reminder that good advocacy is about strategy, not noise.
I urge you to study Ezekiel 37:1-14.
You will understand the importance of speaking into your life. You can literally recreate your future with the words you speak, especially when you declare the Word of God over any circumstance.
I charge you to start speaking to your finances, your marriage, your job speak and declare your expectations over all that concerns you. And watch what will happen!
One of the greatest cheat codes in life is to never get offended. Train yourself to have a thick skin. Don't take things personally. Let others disagree with you. Being easily offended means you're easily manipulated. Want more peace? Avoid getting offended.
You do not have unlimited time.
Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans, and the world will continue on without you.
The curse of mental clarity is that it strips you of the rose-colored glasses necessary to enjoy & partake in the rituals of existence, where outcomes are disproportionately predetermined & an end is guaranteed.
Thus, Kierkegaard concludes: "do or don't, you'll regret"
The hierarchy is simple: Reputation gets you in the room. Competence decides if you stay. Leverage dictates who serves who. Master all three and you never chase, people orbit you, adjust for you, and fear your silence. You command without needing to speak.
