The greatest trait you can acquire is to work with tremendous intensity on things that matter to you, and more importantly, be strangely unbothered when those things don't work out.

Never build your identity around being talented. Talent makes you proud before the work has made you reliable. Build your identity around being correctable, consistent, and hard to discourage. The man who can be coached, humbled, and still return stronger becomes dangerous over time.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

If you want respect, stop rewarding poor behavior with emotional access. Do not argue with disrespect, do not explain through contempt, do not keep proving yourself to people who benefit from misunderstanding you. Withdrawal is often a cleaner lesson than confrontation.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Never make your availability cheaper than your value. When people can access your time, advice, energy, and attention without respect or reciprocity, they stop treating it like a privilege. Scarcity is not arrogance, it is how you teach the world that access to you has a price.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Never tell people the full architecture of your ambition. Share the direction if needed, show the results when ready, but protect the machinery while it is still being built. Most dreams die because they are exposed too early to doubt, envy, advice, and premature applause.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

Most insecurity is a competence problem wearing a confidence costume. You hesitate because you cannot trust your own ability to execute. Fix the root. Train until you have proof. Proof calms the mind. Calm becomes presence. Presence becomes influence.
