The universe will be around for 70 billion years, you’re around for 50, 70, 100 years - it’s a blink of a firefly in the night. One time. You’re just barely here. Wow @naval @SpartanUpPod

Happiness (if you want it):*

1. Meet basic needs

2. Avoid cheap dopamine

3. Leave the past alone

4. Limit desires to ones achievable at the edge of your capability

5. Find something beyond yourself (mission, children, God)

*Most people want something else.

His in-laws looked at the election ticket and said if Vance studied harder, he would be running for President.

There was a time in this country when people like me weren’t allowed to vote, much less hold office.

Tomorrow marks the 100th anniversary of the implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act — a racist piece of legislation that prevented those of Chinese descent from fully participating in Canadian society.

Today, at the opening of the Chinese Canadian Museum, I had the opportunity to see the stories of those who came before me — those who came to this country to build a better life for themselves and their families.

To see the accounts of their struggles and achievements be told in such an impactful way is incredibly meaningful.

I look forward to seeing how this museum will illuminate those stories and showcase the countless contributions that Chinese Canadians have made to our city, province, and country.

@ARHockeyStats I didn’t follow last season too closely, but I would’ve thought Lindholm was on this list, no?

If this Mark Zuckerberg vs @elonmusk MMA match actually happens it would be amazing if they would each put a for-charity wager on it, and equally interesting to see what each competitor would elect to be the charity for the loser to pay out to.

Don't waste time with revenge. The people who hurt you will eventually face the fruits of their own disloyalty.

Just protect your peace.

@RobertGreene Man is a lot more than just his career.

@RobertGreene Love this!! We never fall by helping others rise.

If you set a boundary with someone and they leave, that’s good. The point of boundaries isn’t to “fix” relationships. It’s to protect your mental and emotional health from toxic relationships. Sometimes that happens by healing the relationship, other times by losing it.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

Stop powering through crap:

There are many books I regret powering through, none that I regret quitting. Life is too short to put up with bad writing — bad anything.

If the food sucks, stop eating it. If the speaker is boring, get up and go. If the party is no fun, leave.

@rumneeek Way too many keyboard warriors spewing moronic ideas out of their mommy’s basement knowing they won’t get throat punched as a consequence.

Just keep doing what you do! Life is too short to stoop down to their level.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Comparison gets a bad rap. There’s an old saying, “comparison is the thief of happiness.” But comparison can be a good thing. Comparing ourselves to others can inspire and motivate us to be better. What matters isn’t the comparison, but the meaning we derive from the comparison.

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Many people in this world are lonely, are struggling, and just need to be heard, to know their life matters. It does. You're beautiful. I meet folks, see the pain in their eyes & realize we're the same. Everybody, we're all lost, a little or a lot. But we're all lost together.

@Positive_Call You’ll need to learn how to forgive and forget, especially those that haven’t apologized.
