"I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down." ― Abraham Lincoln

Find those rare friends who believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself.

Be that friend to someone else.

I often talk about the Canada Principle, which says that for a company, instead of blindly chasing down every compelling opportunity, you need to have the discipline to stay focused on the one or two things that are most important.

Or put another way, you have to recognize that what looks like low hanging fruit rarely is.

But this advice can apply equally well to you as a person. Not only do you not have to be good at everything—you shouldn’t be. Think about the tasks you go through on a given day. How many of these would be better done by someone else? Or even better, not done at all?

Freeing yourself up from worrying about all that lets you allocate more time and attention to the important stuff.

People who believe in "manifestation", the possibility of mentally summoning success in life, are more likely to have experienced bankruptcy. https://t.co/f8bx25UFfq

There is a price tag for anything you want to achieve in life.

But sometimes things that look like a great deal on the List Price turn out to be a ripoff on the Real Price.

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.

I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?

"I am a slow walker, but I never walk back." - Abraham Lincoln

You don't need to take giant steps to make progress.

Even the longest journeys can be completed with tiny steps in the right direction.

Always forward, never back.
