Kompany on the 16 wins in a row: "I always tell my players: 'When there's hype please don't believe it, you're not that good - and when you lose a game or you have a bad performance, don't believe that you're bad, you're not that bad' - that's something I always keep with me. Now we've won 16. But from tomorrow it's back to zero and we have to win the next game"
Starting this year, the winner of the annual Speed Chess Championship will be awarded the Naroditsky Cup.
The cup will have the winners of previous years engraved on it and become the permanent trophy of the SCC.
In case anyone is feeling sorry for themselves or wondering what the meaning of life is or how to find their purpose.
David Goggins on the Huberman Lab podcast:
Ok fuck it, I'll spill — All my friends still single in their 30s? They're hunting unicorns. Somewhere along the way, a man stopped being just a man. Now he's supposed to be your therapist, best friend, passionate lover, future father of the year, financial provider & probably a mind reader too. All wrapped up in one devastatingly handsome package.
We grew up on a steady diet of perfect men who could do it all, and now we're shocked—shocked!—to discover that actual humans come with flaws.
Men seem to get this. They prioritize & put up with a lot more shit overall. Meanwhile, women are out here with spreadsheets of required qualities, then wonder why they're perpetually disappointed.

1 car crash and 2 of the most difficult but greatest months of my life.
I’m an emotional mess tonight but I just want to say, no matter how dark a place you are in. It can and WILL get better. 2 years ago I was in the darkest place in my life, 2 years later we have made history.
Thank you to everyone who believed in me. I love you all very much. I’ll do a post when I’m able to process what’s just happened. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ❤️
"The government made me sick!"
"Big pharma wants everyone sick!"
"Big food made me fat!"
All that shit is out of your control.
You know what is in your control? Your thoughts. Your actions. Your decisions
What happens in YOUR house is way more important than what happens in the white house
Responsibility is freedom...
"I am sometimes taken aback by how people can have a miserable day or get angry because they feel cheated by a bad meal, cold coffee, a social rebuff or a rude reception. We are quick to forget that just being alive is an extraordinary piece of good luck, a remote event, a chance of occurrence of monstrous proportions. Imagine a speck of dust next to a planet a billion times the size of earth. The speck of dust represents the odds in favor of your being born; the huge planet would be the odds against it. So stop sweating the small stuff. Don’t be like the ingrate who got a castle as a present and worried about the mildew in the bathroom. Stop looking at the gift horse in the mouth – remember you are a Black Swan." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
