14 técnicas de Harvard para ser mejor que el 99 % del mundo

1. La regla de los 5 segundos

[JaPrado. @Dr_AustinOmondi]

If you want to make money, cater to:

- Men's lust.
- Women's desire for beauty.
- Elderly's health.
- Children's education.
- Rich people's fear of loss.
- Poor people's desire to quickly get rich.

The fastest way to love your life:

Do something difficult on purpose, every day, for years, until the difficulty becomes something you're proud of.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

One of the worst lies you tell yourself: “I just need to gather more information.”

Carl Jung coined the archetype of Puer Aeternus (Latin for the "eternal boy") as an adult who lives in a constant state of boyhood, with a fear of commitment and an obsession with preparation for action that never comes.

The modern world has made it easier than ever to fall into the Puer Aeturnus trap. Information gathering has become sport. Research, studying, learning, planning. All of it jammed into neat little dopamine feedback loops that convince you that you're doing something productive and valuable.

You're just one piece of information away from the big breakthrough. You'll start the business when your business plan is perfected. You'll meet your partner when you've scrolled through another round of profiles. You'll get that dream job when you have one more degree in hand.

I've been there. I was Puer Aeternus. Until I realized that the world wasn't being run by a bunch of geniuses with 47 PhDs and 170 IQs. The world was being run by a bunch of normal people with abnormal bias for action.

The opportunity you seek is floating around at all times. But you have to take action to seize it. Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. Get your dopamine from action.

Major cheat code for life: Master the art of the fresh start. From a bad morning. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a poor decision. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.

They say remember the ones who were there at your lowest. Truth is, most of the time, at your lowest, it is just you.

No backup, no cheering section, no calls, no check-ins, no support — just you figuring out how to get back up, every single time.

Nobody checks in until there's something to show for it. That’s the part people don’t talk about: you fight the hardest battles in silence, and the support shows up after the win.

Fvck that bs about not forgetting people when you make it.

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

Obsess. For f*ck sakes. You only get one life. Don’t screw it up by being normal. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you insane. Please. I beg you. Obsession is the path.

[FRANKLIN @WaruhiuFranklin]

I have tried and did not die. I'm not rich but I'm doing okay.

Take that risk and venture into business. The first year can be tough but over the long run it's very rewarding.

I have built 2 companies and I plan to open 3 more. I left formal employment in 2023 when I was 25.

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

Sharpen your inner self:

Speak less.
Listen more.
React less.
Observe more.

3 most important things you'll learn on your own as a man

1. How to sit with loneliness without breaking
2. How to forgive betrayal without becoming bitter
3. How to believe in yourself when nobody does

You'll learn these on the battlefield not in the classroom

The older I get, the more I realize the power of always having something on the calendar you're excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy and gets you through the lows. Life hack.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

You can only measure how much you want something by what you’re willing to give up to get it.

And it turns out, most people want feeling smart, feeling comfortable, and feeling accepted more than winning.

[Eric @amerix]

Yote tisa, ya kumi ni hii,

Doh za bibi yako ni kama pesa ya Zimbabwe,

We unajua iko, but haujawahi ona, hautawahi guza, unaskia iko, haujui ina nunua nini, na ni nani anapewa.

Kitu unaeza ona tu, ni WhatsApp status.

But, doh zako ni kama dola, kila mtu anataka.

Jipange.

1/10 The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) is witnessing a massive shift.
-For decades, the market was a "gentlemen’s club" run by legacy, white-led law firms. Today, that era is officially over. 📈 #KenyaBusiness #NSE #LegalShift 👇🧵

[Wainaina Wa Gitau @GitauEdwin]

@TheAbojani And mentorship too. You don't have to repeat the mistakes along the way. That is still a form of leverage.
