@trainline_eu That was helpful, thank you.
Although, it makes it clear that I do need to book a space, and I don’t see a way of doing that through your app.

[David McCormack @DMcCormack91]

@trainline_eu, I’m looking to book an overnight train from Paris to Nice, travelling with a bicycle. I understand I need to reserve a space for the bike, but I cannot see a way to do this using your app. How can I reserve a space for the bike?

@ramit I’ve recently accepted a new job, and negotiated a delayed start date so that I can spend a month cycling through Europe.

[David McCormack @DMcCormack91]

@ramit Absolutely worth every penny!
From a purely financial perspective, the stories I have from that have helped me secure jobs and now earn 3x what I did.
More than that, it was a challenge that pushed me to my limits and was incredibly satisfying.

Anyone who makes reference to Dan Kahneman’s work has my instant respect. @FryRsquared #earlconf @earlconf

Perfectionists spend too much time on little differences at the margins at the expense of the important things. There are typically just five to ten important factors to consider when making a decision. #principleoftheday (1/2)

@johnsnolan Will often read several books at the same time, but typically different topics. Great to see synergies between different topics that I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.

@VilsonTalks The Laws of Human Nature
The Little Book of Common Sense Investing
Shike 2: Last of the Zinja

A sign of success:

You love helping younger people getting where you are faster than you did.

You can't judge a book by its movie.

The best mentor is a clear vision of who you want to be.

@galjudo If you think both people are worth spending time with, why wouldn’t you want to give them each the opportunity to know each other?
Yes, I agree, it’s weird.

[David McCormack @DMcCormack91]

@orangebook It felt ridiculous,

but it wasn’t.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Daily good habits over decades,

that’s the talent.

[David McCormack @DMcCormack91]

Didn’t want to do my workout this morning

but I know habits work off triggers

so I set the bar super-low;

just complete the warmup.

Once I got over that initial hurdle the rest followed naturally.

Now it’s done and I feel better than if I’d skipped it.
