My Anti-To-Do List

(15 things I want to avoid on a daily basis)

1. Do not complain about anything.

If the thing is within your control, then go do something about it. If the thing is out of your control, then it's just a waste of energy to complain about it.

1989 (Brock's Version)

#49ers Brock Purdy is the first Niner to have a perfect passer rating in a game since 1989 😤

22 truths I wish I knew at 22:

1. Most of your friends aren’t really your friends. They’re just along for the ride when it’s fun, convenient, or valuable. Your real friends are the ones who are there for you when it's none of those—when you have nothing to offer in return.

2. Your success in life is proportional to the number of difficult conversations you're willing to have.

3. Nothing good happens after midnight (especially when you've been drinking).

4. Stand up straight and look people in the eye. Two old fashioned things that stand out and never go out of style. The way you carry yourself dramatically impacts how the world will engage with you.

5. Waking up early and working out will completely change your life. One tiny action with massive ripple effects.

6. Make decisions that your 80-year old self and 10-year-old self approve of. The former cares about the long-term compounding of actions, while the latter reminds you to have some fun along the way.

7. The time you spend comparing yourself to others is much better spent investing in yourself. The only comparison worth making is to you from yesterday.

8. When you think something nice about someone, tell them right then. It's a tiny habit that will pay long lasting dividends.

9. Social media is designed to make you wish you were someone else, somewhere else, and with someone else. Curate your consumption and eliminate what brings negative emotions.

10. Prioritize spending time with people who make you better—who lift you up and make you want to grow.

11. Call your parents more often—they won't be around forever.

12. Focus on making money, you'll do ok. Focus on creating value, you'll do great.

13. The "sleep when I'm dead" mentality is broken. Great sleep is an essential ingredient of great results.

14. Give people a second chance, but never a third. If they're holding you back, cut them out of your life.

15. Trying is the coolest thing you can do. If you're going to do something, do it well.

16. Stop trying to be interesting and focus on being interested. You become interesting by being interested.

17. You'll never know what you want to be when you grow up—and that's fine. Prioritize asking great questions and having a bias for action and you'll always make it.

18. Finding the truth is more important than being right. Stop arguing to win—start listening to learn.

19. Grades won't matter much, but energy for learning will.

20. Stop worrying about what other people think of you. Most people aren't thinking about you at all.

21. Not all decisions are reversible, but most of them are.

22. Go on a few wild and crazy adventures that you'll be excited to tell your kids about someday.

The most powerful paradoxes of life.

1. The Productivity Paradox: Work longer, get less done.

(a visual thread)

[emily freeman @editingemily]

It’s my birthday. I’m 37 and I have some things I’d like to share, in no particular order.

1. No one thinks about you more than you do. That thing from two years ago that keeps you up at night? No one else remembers. Honor the memory and let it go.

[Craig H. Rowland @CraigHRowland]

My tips for foundational cybersecurity career skills after 30+ years in the industry:

- TCP/IP Networking.
- Proficient in at least one common programming language (Python, C, C++, Java, etc.).
- Able to read and understand other programming languages (because of the above).
- Windows and/or Linux admin skills.
- Understanding of core Internet protocols and ability to read a packet trace.
- Basics of attacks against common network services like web, SQL, DNS, SMB, etc.

Layer on other skills such as cloud security, pen testing, etc. after you understand the foundations. A lot of people get this backwards and it will hamper your growth.

@itsSeanHughes @JeremyBolton18 Any update for "valued member" discount users @JeremyBolton18? Looks like there's now a VISIBLEPLUS code but it doesn't work for "valued member" accounts. I chatted support and they agreed it didn't make sense but that there wasn't anything they could do.

@itsSeanHughes @JeremyBolton18 Another frustrated existing user post. Any update on when long term customers might share the same discounts offered to new users, @JeremyBolton18?

[Eric @ericooi]

@JeremyBolton18 @itsSeanHughes Thanks, Jeremy. Looking forward to it. Has worked great so far and have referred friends and family, too.

[Eric @ericooi]

@JeremyBolton18 @itsSeanHughes Saw this went live today for the welcome discount. Will this be available for loyalty discount customers? Interested in switching to V+ with discount. Tried working through support but they’re saying I am out of luck.
