What a captain.

What a speech.

What a leader.

Happy Birthday to Lionel Messi — one of the greatest players to ever step onto a soccer field.

As if his resumé wasn't already unmatched, Messi is marking his 39th birthday after making more World Cup history this week, becoming the tournament's all-time leading goal scorer with 18 goals and breaking the record previously held by Germany legend Miroslav Klose.

The Argentina captain scored twice against Austria to set the new mark, adding yet another milestone to a career filled with them.

From World Cup champion to record-breaker, Messi's legacy continues to grow.

I love when restaurants put “market price” next to certain menu items. Like yeah, I’ve been monitoring scallop futures all week.

I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.

We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldn’t wait for what came next.

Then somewhere along the way, it changed.

Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.

We were sold convenience.

What we got was a world that feels faster, louder, more expensive, and somehow less human.

And that’s why so many people I know dream about a completely different life now. Not more technology. Not more optimization.

Just a quiet job, a flip phone, a small town, and a place where life feels real again.

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the job is only half the battle. The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the room, managing ego, receiving vague feedback, and not replying to emails with your real thoughts and just being generally fake 8 hours a day for 40 year’s straight and not letting it drive you insane

Bill Ackman on surviving his lowest moment:

Hedge fund manager @BillAckman opens up about a period when everything collapsed at once.

"We lost $4 billion. $4 billion."

The losses triggered a cascade of crises:

"We were also sued when you lose a lot of money. We didn't get sued by our investors, but we got sued by a shareholder because when the stock price goes down, shareholders sue. We've done nothing wrong other than make a big mistake, but you know, so you have litigation. Your investors are taking their money out."

And then the personal collapse layered onto the professional one:

"I'm in the middle of a divorce. The divorce starts to proceed. My ex-wife's lawyer's expectations of what my net worth was was about three times what it actually was. And it was going lower right in the middle of this."

In the middle of all of it, Bill discovered a method that pulled him through:

"I learned this method for dealing with these kind of moments which is you just make a little progress every day. So today I'm going to wake up. I'm going to make progress. I'll make progress in the litigation. I'll make progress in the portfolio. I'll make progress with my life."

The key insight: progress works the same way money does.

"Progress compounds a bit like money compounds. You don't see a lot of progress in the first few weeks but like 30 days in like okay you know like you can't look up at the mountain top where you used to be cuz then you'll give up right? But you just okay just make step by step by step."

He describes how the perspective shifts over time:

"90 days in you're like, 'Okay, I was way down there. Okay, I'm climbing the mountain. Okay, I don't look up.' Just keep making progress, progress, progress. And progress really does compound. And one day you wake up and like, 'Wow, it's amazing how far I've come.'"

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Key to winning:

Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest.

So many people just don’t have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.

One of the strangest things about America 🇺🇸…

You meet people making $300k/year who are anxious, exhausted, medicated, and can barely sleep at night.

Then you go to Mexico 🇲🇽…

and see some guy running a small restaurant, barely breaking even…

but he’s laughing with friends, drinking mezcal at lunch, hugging customers, and sleeps perfectly fine at night.

You dont want a yacht. You dont want a big house. You dont want a super car, a $40,000 watch, or shoes you worry about getting dirty. You want free will.

You want to wake up naturally on a Tuesday and you want to go to bed when you’re done having fun. You want to say yes to everything that excites you without having to request time off. You want to go to the the gym at noon, in absolutely no hurry. You want to spend 18 hours a day doing what you love. You want to be exactly where you desire being, always. You want to spend as much time with the people you care about as possible.

You’re saying you wanna be rich? In what?

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

The biggest cheat code on the planet is the ability to be in a good mood regardless of what's going on in your life. Not letting external events dictate how you feel is a skill we can learn. If you can train yourself to be in a bad mood you can train yourself to be in a good one.
