Delhi Bumble is so wild man. This girl I matched with had socialist on her profile political section. When I asked her about it she told me she Yogi admiring BJP voter, but putting up socialist gets her matches with the “non gawar” crowd 😭😭😭
Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
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.
The word “decide” is lowkey badass. It means “to cut away” (de-cidere)
You can’t make a decision without cutting away all the other alternatives, which is why people prone to fomo are indecisive
Most AEs think they're building relationships with their accounts.
They're actually building a dependency on one person who can't say yes.
More $500K deals die from a champion getting promoted, going quiet, or getting overruled by someone the AE never met than from any other single cause.
Multi-threading isn't about covering yourself when things go wrong.
It's about having access to the people who actually own the decision before you're deep in a deal and going higher feels like an escalation.
The question I tell every AE to ask on call 1: "Aside from yourself, who else needs to feel good about this before it moves forward?"
That one question opens every door you'll need later.
Game theory explains why working harder inside a broken system is the worst response to that system. Because a system is never truly broken. It's just producing exactly the outcomes its own incentive structures were designed to produce, whether intentional or not. Working harder inside this system increases your output in the payoff matrix, but it simply won't change the actual structure of the system's matrix. Thus, the correct response is not more effort. Instead, you must aim to identify whose interests the current structure serves and position yourself in favor of those interests rather than against them. Change the game, or play the game that is actually being played. Either way, you must stop optimizing for the game you wish it to be and start acting realistically.
get extremely good at shifting. we cannot avoid hardship but we can avoid wallowing. struggling? take a shower. go for a fast walk. pray. do a ritual. listen to mantra. you have free will. shift
everyone assumed ai would flatten the talent distribution.. turns out it amplifies the hell out of it.
it used to be: can you build it.
now it’s: do you know what’s worth building, & can you feel when it’s wrong.
that’s ~unteachable & ~unautomatable right now. models can generate 100 variants of anything but they still can’t tell you which one matters.
amazing talent is roughly priceless in the ai era because with ai it’s leverage++++++.
Next April, 2027 at this exact time, you’ll be standing in the places you used to dream about. Living your most beautiful rich life. Send this to yourself.
