Writing is more than a vehicle for communicating ideas. It's a tool for crystallizing ideas.

Writing exposes gaps in your knowledge and logic. It pushes you to articulate assumptions and consider counterarguments.

One of the best paths to sharper thinking is frequent writing.

Politeness is not the same as kindness.

Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.

In polite cultures, people withhold disagreement and criticism. In kind cultures, people speak their minds respectfully.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

You can't be an important and life changing presence for some people without also being a joke and embarrassment to others.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Brain training games don't actually make us smarter.

Controlled experiments and longitudinal studies: so-called brain training programs have no benefits for reasoning, attention, or working memory.

We're better off reading, exercising, or socializing.

The person you marry is the person you fight with. The house you buy is the house you repair. The dream job you take is the job you stress over. Everything comes with an inherent sacrifice — whatever makes us feel good will also inevitably make us feel bad.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Just as one must suffer physical pain to build stronger bone and muscle, one must suffer emotional pain to develop greater emotional resilience, a stronger sense of self, increased compassion and a generally happier life.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Ultimately, the most meaningful freedom in your life comes from your commitments, the things in life for which you have chosen to sacrifice.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

We all have many things that we are good at, but generally we each only have one thing that we’re excellent at. What are you excellent at?

Stop deluding yourself that you're not ready or that you need something before you start. You have everything you need: a brain, a desire, and a lack of shame. Go get it. That's all from me today.

“Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all, endurance.”
