The person you will be in 5 years depends on:

• the food you eat

• books or articles you read
• how much more you write
• money you save and invest
• who you work with
• friends you spend time with
• new skills you develop
• connections you make and keep
• promises you make and keep
• where and how far you travel
• doors you open for others
• knowing when to leave
• new habits you develop
• quitting the stuff that holds you back

My first trip to Paris, my mother insisted this was the one place I had to go to. She was absolutely right. Sainte-Chapelle is one of the most beautiful things humans have ever created!

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

The greatest wonder of Paris isn't the Notre-Dame or the Eiffel Tower — it's this small chapel.

But it isn't just radiantly beautiful. It was built to protect something of incalculable value... (thread) 🧵

Harsh Truth: You'll literally never know what you want to be when you grow up.

The idea that you should know what you want to do with your life by the time you are 20 is one of the worst lies we are told.

I spent years stressing out over my lack of a clearly defined path...

But then I realized that most hyper-successful people still have no idea what they want to do.

They just have a bias for action that has allowed them to capitalize on opportunities and compound effectively over time.

If you have a bias for action, you'll always be fine.

Smart people who lack the courage to take risks often end up bitter, as they keep witnessing less smart people with more courage do much better than them.

I only ask that you care before it’s too late,
That you live aware and awake,
That you lead with love in hours of hate."

Always critical to ask good questions in interviews to differentiate yourself and to find out the info you need to make an informed decision.

Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide
