Unpopular opinion:
half of parenting is learning to regulate yourself, not your child.

[Patrick Bet-David @patrickbetdavid]

Cornell suggests we make ~35,000 decisions a day.
Roughly a billion in a lifetime.

Mostly small decisions.

But we make 20–40 BIG decisions.

Marriage
Career
Friends
Kids
Where to live
Risks to take

The quality of those big decisions will determine the type of life you live.

The most powerful thing you can ever tell your kids.

“There’s nothing you can do for me to love you more or less. Love is unconditional.”

Best in the school or worst.
Best player on the team or the worst.

But if you want me to be proud of you, that part must be earned.

I’m entirely convinced that the key to life and happiness is having low expectations for things outside your control and high expectations for things within it.

[Preethi Kasireddy @iam_preethi]

Every parent should be required to have at least two kids, ideally three, before giving parenting advice 😊

You need the reps. Your first kid teaches you the basics. Your second kid humbles you because nothing that worked on the first one works on the second. And your third kid is where you finally stop overthinking everything and just parent.

The most confident parenting advice I’ve ever heard comes from first time parents. The most useful advice comes from parents of three or more who have been through enough to know what actually matters and what was just luck.

Parents now have the power to completely disable YouTube shorts.

Google has rolled out major enhancements to its parental control tools, giving families far greater control over YouTube Shorts.

Using the Google Family Link app and newly introduced supervised account options, parents can now set strict daily time limits for children and teens under 18. By simply setting the Shorts time allowance to zero minutes, the entire Shorts feed can be blocked, directly tackling concerns about the addictive, endlessly scrolling nature of the format.

The updated features also include locked bedtime schedules and mandatory break reminders that children cannot override, helping maintain consistent and healthy screen-time routines.

For parents looking for maximum protection, the dedicated YouTube Kids app continues to offer a completely Shorts-free, age-appropriate environment with curated content. On computers, families can further restrict access using browser extensions, Restricted Mode, or specific URL blocks.

These changes mark a significant step forward in digital wellbeing, empowering parents to customize YouTube according to their child’s age and needs—whether that means a short daily viewing window or a full ban on Shorts.

I'm increasingly convinced that burnout doesn't come from working long hours or weekends. Burnout comes from working on things that drain your energy with people that do the same.

[Dr SHRADDHEY KATIYAR @Wegiveyouhealt1]

People without children often hear this line as judgment. It is not. It is simply truth, said softly.

You can live a full life without a child. You can travel, build, earn, heal, and enjoy freedom. All of that is real. But there is a dimension you will never touch until you become responsible for a life that exists because of you.

A child changes the axis of time.
Suddenly, the future is not abstract. It has a face, a voice, and tiny hands holding your finger.

You learn a kind of love that is not romantic, not transactional, not conditional. A love that shows up even when you are tired, broke, scared, or failing. A love that humbles you daily and strengthens you quietly.

You start measuring success differently.
Not by applause. Not by money.
But by whether you are becoming someone your child can feel safe with and proud of.

Children force growth. They expose your impatience, your selfishness, your unresolved wounds. And then they give you a reason to fix them. Not tomorrow. Today.

Legacy stops being a word and becomes a responsibility.
You realize you are not just living your life.
You are shaping a human who will walk the world long after you are gone.

People without children are not missing happiness.
They are missing this specific depth of meaning.

And you do not know it is missing
until it arrives.

[Dr SHRADDHEY KATIYAR @Wegiveyouhealt1]

A husband and wife are not held together by romance.
They are held together by patience on tired days, silence that feels safe, and loyalty when love feels ordinary.

The real magic is not in grand gestures.
It is in staying, choosing each other again, and growing side by side while the world keeps changing.

That is marriage.
Not perfect.
Just deeply committed.
And forgiving each other again and again and again….

[Dr SHRADDHEY KATIYAR @Wegiveyouhealt1]

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children.
They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal. What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don’t correct them harshly. Don’t rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment, quietly wrapped as love.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I’m increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

SCIENCE: The brain doesn’t get tired from thinking — it gets tired from switching attention.

This explains why: 2 hours of deep study can feel energizing whereas 30 minutes of distracted scrolling can feel exhausting.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Everyone should do this: Record a video interview with your parents. Ask questions about their childhood, adventures, failures, hopes, dreams, and fears. Our time with them is finite, but we fail to recognize it until it's too late. The recordings will last forever.

[Murray Hill Guy @MurrayHillGuy1]

I don’t have much desire to be so rich so I can buy a Rolex, have a Lambo or take trips to Dubai.

I want to be rich so I can control my time and go to the gym at 1pm on a Monday without worrying.

Sit at a Cafe with espresso and relax for an hour

So I can cook meals at home with clean ingredients.

Spend on my beautiful mid, family and friends without worrying about a budget.

That's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat to suffer in the suburbs.
