I like doing purposeful things, taking meaningful risks, creating enduring value for all. May share some thoughts along the way.

ai helps, you are up to decide

Opportunities lie in people, in their dreams and ambitions.

Getting to know someone deeply can create new horizons for both.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The life cheat code nobody told you: Be the most interested person in the room. Everyone tries to be the most interesting person in the room. The most compelling stories. The funniest lines. The most impressive credentials. The most names dropped. Don't be everyone. It backfires. It feels painfully forced. It reads as insecure. Instead, focus on being interested, not interesting. Turn outward. Take a genuine interest in others. Not as a means to an end, but because you actually want to learn about who they are as a person, beneath the surface. When you open up to people, they can feel it. They reciprocate and open up to you. Be visibly happy to see people. Smile at people. Ask high-quality questions. What are you most excited about right now? What's creating the most energy in your life at the moment? What's lighting you up outside of work? Ask follow-up questions. Be glowing about what other people are doing. Not fake or disingenuous, but genuinely excited about what they're excited about. Lighting up for others makes them light up for you. Being interested is how you become interesting.

This is a story about my father, parenting, and my rule for the strongest relationships in life…

When I was 12 years old, I tried out for a baseball all-star team in our area.

I really wanted to make this team. The tryouts were my first adventure beyond the confines of my small town. An opportunity to see how I stacked up against kids from all around the state.

When the results came out, the coaches called my house.

They were taking 16 players for the team...and I was the 17th on the list.

I was devastated.

It was my first real experience with failure. Something I wanted, worked towards, and came up short. I went into my room, sat on my bed, and cried.

A few minutes later, my dad walked in. He sat down on the bed next to me. After a few minutes of silence, he offered a few words:

“I know you’re upset. I understand. It sucks. But here are the three things the coaches said you needed to work on. Let’s go out every day this summer and work on them. Together.”

And we did.

I’d patiently wait for him to get home from work, holding our gloves, a bucket of balls, and a bat. He took me to the local field damn near every single day that summer. I’m sure there were days when he didn’t want to. When he was exhausted from work or travel, but it never showed.

And I came back the next year a completely different player. Years later, when I got a scholarship to play baseball at Stanford, I still thought back to that one summer as the turning point.

But it was more than the practice that was the real turning point.

It was what my dad said in those moments as we sat on my bed, with tears streaming down my face—and how he followed through on it every day that followed.

He had two options when he walked into my room and sat next to me.

Option 1: Tell me the coaches were idiots. I was the best player. They had made a mistake. They didn’t know what they were doing.

Option 2: Acknowledge the pain. Tell the truth about the opportunity in the failure. And be there to support the work to meet that opportunity.

Honestly, in that moment, I probably wanted Option 1. It would have made me feel better. It would have told me that the world was the problem. That an external thing was to blame. That I was great.

Option 2 was the tough pill to swallow. But also the right one.

I believe that the strongest relationships in life stand on two pillars:

The first is high expectations.

The belief that the other person is capable of excellence. That their potential is only limited by their own views. The willingness to tell the truth about that opportunity and the work required to meet it.

The second is high support.

The ability and willingness to provide the love, support, and engagement to help the other person meet those high expectations.

A lot of relationships fall short of this standard. They hit one pillar, but miss the other.

Low expectations and high support will provide comfort, but no growth. High expectations and low support may spark short-term growth, but breed long-term resentment.

Sir Isaac Newton famously said:

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

It’s a beautiful line, but I think it leaves out the part that matters most.

The giants had to bend down. They had to choose to provide energy to lift him.

That’s exactly what my dad did the night I didn’t make that all-star team. He didn’t lower his shoulders to the level of my disappointment. He didn’t tell me the high heights didn’t matter.

He told me that I was capable of the climb—and then he gifted me with his attention and energy to help complete it.

I think about this constantly now.

This, to me, is the highest calling in our relationships:

To create an environment of high expectations with those we love and show up to support them to meet (and exceed) those expectations we’ve set.

This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot as a father. I hope it resonated with you.

Risk averse people would not be able to move according to this advice.

Sometimes the stress of growth can feel like your gut saying no. How would you differ one from the other?

I believe in taking chances, having calculated risks, going through two way doors without overthinking.

I would expect from you to advise similarly.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

Cognition, executive function, indeed existence itself, are whole-mind/body experiences. The answer is not inward, it is outward, and in the world.

Buna bir bahaneden ziyade, çözülmesi gereken bir problem gibi yaklaşılırsa; futbol ülkeye döviz girdisi yaratan bir endüstri olabilir.

UEFA kupasındaki son 25 sezonda her 3 finalistten veya kazanandan 1'i Şampiyonlar Ligi'nde 3. olarak UEFA'ya geçen takımlar.

Bu da 2. ve 3. kupalarda zaten gözle görülen kalite düşüşünün sebebini açıklıyor.

ps1. 2025 yılı zaten yeni tip olduğu halde analizde var. Aslıda oran 3'te 1'den de biraz fazla
ps2. ChatGPT analizi ama detay liste kontrol edildi.

[anlmrtl @anlmrtl]

@ukarakullukcu 2. UEFA Avrupa Ligi'ne ve Konferans Ligi'ne düşme olmaması, oradaki takım kalitesini iyice sıfırlamış durumda. Hiç bilmediğimiz isimler play-off'a, çeyrek finale yürüyor. Dün Samsunspor maçında ev sahibinin seyircisi yoktu resmen...

“character is formed out of people who suffered”

[Founder Mode @Founder_Mode_]

Jensen Huang: "People with really high expectations have very low resilience."

"I think one of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations. And I mean that.

Most of the Stanford graduates have very high expectations. And you deserve to have high expectations because you came from a great school.

You were very successful. You're top of your class.

Obviously, you were able to pay for tuition. And then you're graduating from one of the finest institutions on the planet.

You're surrounded by other kids that are just incredible. You naturally have very high expectations.

People with very high expectations have very low resilience. And unfortunately, resilience matters in success.

I don't know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you. And I was fortunate that I grew up with my parents providing a condition for us to be successful on the one hand, but there were plenty of opportunities for setbacks and suffering.

And to this day, I use the phrase pain and suffering inside our company with great glee. And I mean that. Boy, this is going to cause a lot of pain and suffering.

And I mean that in a happy way, because you want to train, you want to refine the character of your company.

You want greatness out of them. And greatness is not intelligence.

Greatness comes from character, and character isn't formed out of smart people.

It's formed out of people who suffered.

And so if I could wish upon you, I don't know how to do it. For all of you Stanford students, I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering."

🗣️ Albert Riera, basına tanıtıldığı toplantıda disiplinle ilgili şu açıklamaları yaptı:

“Soyunma odasına, benim için çok önemli olan üç kuralın yazılı olduğu bir kâğıt astım:

1️⃣ Soyunma odasında saygı (Önce insan, sonra futbolcu)
2️⃣ Nasıl antrenman yapıyorsan, sahada da öyle oynarsın
3️⃣ Kendine şunu sor: Topla ve topsuzken takıma ne katıyorsun?

Oyuncular genel olarak herhangi bir kuralı ihlal ederse (örneğin antrenmana geç kalmak gibi), önce para cezası öderler. Bu zaten can yakar. Bunun yanında bir de ruletle belirlenen ek bir yaptırım olacak, onu çevirmek zorundalar. Bu yaptırım örneğin şunlar olabilir:

➡️ Analiz ekibiyle birlikte bir saat video analizi yapmak
➡️ Takım arkadaşlarının ayakkabılarını temizlemek
➡️ Bahçıvanla birlikte bir saat çalışmak

Amaç, bu işlerin ne anlama geldiğini ve bu görevleri yapan insanların emeğini anlamalarını sağlamak.

Antrenmana geç kalırsan sorun değil, ama bunun karşılığında, cezana ek olarak bir saat başka bir işi de yapmak zorunda kalacaksın“.
