Okay. Now I’m curious about this book.
Liked the simple but effective sample ideas - e.g. the bought-status test. @SahilBloom thanks for sharing your personal story of connecting with @BillAckman . It proves that good idea can get attention of good minds, even in a crowd like @X

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

I have recommended only one book on @X, Outlive by @PeterAttiaMD. Now I am recommending a second one, which is as well written and important, The 5 Types of Wealth by @SahilBloom.

In short, the book is a guide to how to live your life. The earlier in your life you read it, the better your life will be.

Sahil compiles decades of wisdom in a few hundred pages with powerful charts that will cause you to make positive changes in your life.

I like asymmetric investments and I don’t know of a better return than this book. Read it. You will thank me and Sahil.

Heights of arrogance. Not even worth tagging the arrogant nephew. Typical for people who don’t have to work hard to be crowned the king. Hence not naming or tagging him to avoid negative media advantage to work for him and his crime syndicate

This is a simple and amazing approach for anyone who wants to make an immediate impact with political power.

But gotta love @JeffBezos ever clear way of thinking and explaining stuff with analogy.

To articulate inefficiency of government ability to manage and execute program thru the prism of NYC school system was awesome.
"If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it."

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

Lesson on #leadership for the day and feedback process
@connectsandip - Nice refresher

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

Steve Jobs on how to give feedback to high performers when their work is simply not good enough; giving difficult feedback without causing resentments is a superpower.

Amazing story of how leadership and communication when intertwined with honesty and empathy can make friend out of a foe. #communication #leadership

Thank you for eloquently sharing @RobertMSterling and you deserve a cheers for that too.

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

I just had the craziest experience at the airport.

We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.

Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”

Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.

The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”

He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”

Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…

Start clapping.

I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.

All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.

It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.

@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

[BJP West Bengal @BJP4Bengal]

9 May to 16 May. Just 7 days and West Bengal has already witnessing #Poriborton.

➡️ Crackdown on syndicates.
➡️ Action against corruption.
➡️ Border security tightened.
➡️ Big relief for women.
➡️ Mafia networks under attack.
➡️ Administrative discipline returning.

What West Bengal under TMC couldn’t deliver in 15 years, the Double Engine Government has started showing in its very first week. This is the new West Bengal and the speed of real governance.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

If you feel stuck, try this: For the next 30 days, every single day, wake up at 5am and work out for at least 30 minutes.

It doesn’t matter what the workout looks like. Go to a gym, go outside for a run, do pushups and squats on your bedroom floor.

This isn’t about the workout. It’s about creating Proof of Agency.

By the end of 30 days, you’ll completely rewire your brain. Scientists call it neuroplasticity. Your brain physically changes in structure and function through action and experience.

The action of waking up early and working out every single day for a month will create evidence that you have the power to take an action and achieve a desired outcome. You’ll see yourself differently. You’ll reorganize your life around this new priority. You’ll eat healthier, go to sleep earlier, and narrow your focus. It creates Proof of Agency.

That has ripple effects into every area of life.

Common sense but often overlooked

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Money advice nobody told you: The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value. No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works. Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. Create value, receive value. If money is the goal, value has to be the focus. This isn't just some vague idea: The only way to get rich is to create an enormous amount of value for others, and capture a small portion of that along the way. It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to create value is by doing the thing. And if you don't know where to start, look around you. Customers, colleagues, bosses, shareholders, employees. Every single one of them has a problem. What problems can you solve for the people around you? Figure them out, solve them, scale that solution. That's how you make money.

[All India Trinamool Congress @AITCofficial]

We strongly condemn the brutal murder of Chandranath Rath in Madhyamgram tonight, along with the killing of three other TMC workers in incidents of post-poll violence allegedly carried out by BJP-backed miscreants over the last three days, despite the Model Code of Conduct being in force.

We demand the strongest possible action in this matter, including a court-monitored CBI investigation so that those responsible are identified and brought to justice without delay. Violence and political killings have no place in a democracy and the guilty must be held accountable at the earliest.

[Just Random Stuff @Somu4203]

@AITCofficial Your goons shot Suvendu's PA point-blank in broad daylight, but you still cry "BJP violence" while Bengal bled under your 15-year terror regime.

Sandeshkhali rapes, daily murders, and now fake tears?

The people just kicked you out. Stay gone, or the law will finish the job.

Amazing to see straight from the heart note about “City of Joy” experience. When I was growing up used to go running in the morning around Victoria Memorial park. Thanks for sharing this….

[Nithin Kamath @Nithin0dha]

A bunch of us travelled to Kolkata with our families and visited the Victoria Memorial and the Indian Museum. My first proper museum trip in Kolkata, and it’s easily the best museum city in India.

The Victoria Memorial, conceived by Lord Curzon after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 and opened in 1921, is stunning as architecture. But seeing it in India feels a bit off. Built with Indian money and marble from Rajasthan, it’s also a reminder of the scale of extraction during British rule.

The Indian Museum is something else altogether. The range of archaeology, fossils, art, and anthropology is incredible. You can spend hours and still not be done.

Sharing this because we don’t really have a strong museum-going culture in India. Maybe the long stretch of British rule has something to do with it. But if there are two museums to start with, these are a must-visit.

[Gaurab Chakrabarti @Gaurab]

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

Merz spielt Gerichtshof und verurteilt Putin als „Kriegsverbrecher“. Das ist Anti-Diplomatie: Statt selbst Gesprächsfäden zu knüpfen, untergräbt Merz mit Eskalationsrhetorik Trumps Friedensbemühungen. Dieser Kanzler ist ein Sicherheitsrisiko für unser Land!
