Sometimes we forget that good health is a blessing.
Take care of your body.
Protect your peace.
Be kind to people.
We’re all just trying to make it through this life. 🤍
It’s funny how the night makes you honest with yourself.
No noise.
No pretending.
Just you, your thoughts, and all the things you kept pushing aside during the day.
Some nights I have answers.
Some nights I just have questions.
But I’m learning that I don’t need to figure everything out before I sleep.
Tomorrow is another chance to try again.
.
I don't care what anybody says.
.
Lock this boy up now and throw away the keys.
.
B'cos even if we let him grow, he'll still find a way to go to prison.
.
I don’t forget kindness. Ever.
No matter how small the gesture was, I remember the person who showed up, helped me, encouraged me, or simply made life a little easier.
I may not always have the opportunity to repay it immediately, but I carry that gratitude with me.
Never underestimate the little good you do. Someone may remember it for years.
My designer’s reaction to the idea I sent was enough confirmation that I might just be onto something.
Simple. Elegant. Meaningful.
Sometimes, less really is more.
Goodnight beautiful people.
I knew NBA players had money, but I did not realize how rich NBA players were (compared to footballers) until I started to convert their wage deals into weekly payments.
For example, in football, when a player signs a contract, it’s reported as “Saka signs a 300k week contract with Arsenal.”
In Basketball it’s reported as “So so player has signed a 5-year 250 million deal with Detroit Pistons.”
Yesterday I saw that a young NBA player I’d never heard about before signed a 5-year deal. Now you have to understand that I know ALL the A-list NBA stars, at least the top 25 best players in the league. He’s not one of them.
I converted his salary into weekly salary and realized he was going to be earning $800k per week. For context, with this amount, he’s not in the top 30 highest earners.
Lemme tell you where it gets crazy:
Haaland is the highest earning player in Europe right now with a €31.7 million gross yearly.
There are over 45 NBA players earning more than Haaland per year. In fact, around 10% of all NBA players earn more salary than the highest paid player in Europe.
To drag it further, not even Saudi League money competes with NBA money. If you move out of Europe, only Ronaldo and Messi out-earn the salaries of NBA players. And those ones are anomalies.
Guess what? NBA players are not the highest earning athletes in America. NFL players are. So with all this money, there’s still a league that pays its players better than NBA pays.
