If you have a blurry thinking you have a blurry execution.

When #programming, code with #intention. Think about the problem and it's potential solutions before you start writing #code.

Overthinking is the sign that you need to cultivate more courage to act.

You need to put yourself in physical situations where you won't have a choice but stay focused and get things done.

There is no growth without skin in the game, and you can waste so much time being misled by a timid mind.

That's why moving abroad and being fully accountable for your fate is transformative.

That's why having kids who solely depend on you is transformative.

That's why overcoming life-threatening situations is transformative.

That's why taking big financial risks with your own money is transformative.

That's why struggling alone in a society that only rewards people who are already winning is transformative.

Old people who didn't grow much were not necessarily stupid, they were just the people who were afraid: of wasting time, of losing freedom, of getting hurt, of losing money, of falling behind.

The older you get, the more obvious it becomes that you always knew what you wanted from life, it might have been freedom from "the system," it might have been an athletic and charismatic version of yourself, it might have been unlimited time to read novels or write your own, it might have been building a family with someone you love in every aspect, it might have been moving to a certain country and living an unpredictable adventure;

I, and I alone, am responsible for everything I think and feel.

At twenty, you don’t get the life you deserve, you are just the product of the environment you were lucky or unlucky to have.

Then, as you get older, and enter your thirties, forties, and beyond, you notice how much agency you actually had on your life.

Maybe you moved abroad, learned another language, another culture, another mindset, and became an entirely different person.

Maybe you decided you had nothing to lose, and invested all your meager savings into the bet of a lifetime, and it worked out.

Maybe you changed all your habits, and realized that you could be much healthier, smarter, stronger than you thought, if you simply maintain a better diet, a better training, a better sleep, a better routine.

Maybe you fell in love, and realized that a great marriage was about so much more than physical attraction and intellectual compatibility: if you find yourself walking alongside with a kind, thoughtful, honest person who loves you back, you actually won the lottery.

Maybe you met some great people during your journey, shared with them parts of your journey, overcame difficult challenges together, finally understood the real meaning of “friendship,” and that some people are worth trusting and making sacrifices for.

Maybe you also had health issues, lost a few precious people that you loved, understood the fragility of life and the pain that comes with truly loving someone else, but also finally gained enough wisdom to appreciate the simple things in life, that are free and in abundance.

It’s a long journey. The best and the worst things will happen to you. You can choose to act like a victim, or you can choose to respect yourself and be more resilient, mentally stronger, overall better. In the end, you will look back, you will connect the dots, and it will all make sense, that you got exactly what you deserved.

“Be satisfied with even the smallest progress," Marcus Aurelius said.

You’re never going to be perfect—there is no such thing. You’re human. So instead, aim for progress, even the smallest amount.

At twenty, you think you have the whole world figured out, then with every passing year, you become more humble, you stop jumping to conclusions, you stop judging people you actually don't know.

@three_cube Any kindle/digital version ?

We’ve never been visited by super-aliens.

If we had they’d have intervened; given us all the cures, hyperdrives, tech & knowledge to raise us to their level.

If they didn’t they’d be evil. But if they’re evil they’d have done far worse than just denied us their wealth & wisdom.

100% coverage gives you no indication at all that the code does something useful or solves anybody's problems.
