My Top 5 Gems from this piece by @sama 💎
1. In a world where almost no one takes a truly long-term view, the market richly rewards those who do.
2. Grit comes from learning you can get back up after you get knocked down.
3. Extreme people get extreme results.
4. Unfortunately, the more ambitious you are, the more the world will try to tear you down.
5. Mimetic behavior is usually a mistake—if you’re doing the same thing everyone else is doing, you will not be hard to compete with.

Travis Scott reflects on the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy on ‘MY EYES’
“I replay them nights, and right by my side, all I see is a sea of people that ride wit' me / If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child / The things I created became the most weighted, I gotta find balance and keep me inspired”
