The best are always learning.

Read like crazy. 
Think alone. 
Keep a journal. 
Write stuff down the moment you see it. 
Review regularly. 
Memorize the big ideas to fluency. 
Attack your best ideas. 
And never get high on your own supply.

You don't have to be gifted. You do have to be deliberate.

My girlfriend’s (at the time) Mom gave me this book. It was 2012. I was 21 and had dropped out of college. I’d sold my cell phone (lasted ~5 months) to see what life would be like. This was before I’d ever traveled internationally and I was considering driving around the U.S. and just camping at national parks. I was lost. This book changed my life forever.

There are 100s of quotes I could choose from… but maybe the one I remember best, and that taught me that you can just do things, is:

“The law of gravity and gravity itself did not exist before Isaac Newton… and what that means is that that law of gravity exists nowhere except in people's heads! It 's a ghost! Mind has no matter or energy but they can't escape its predominance over everything they do. Logic exists in the mind. numbers exist only in the mind. I don't get upset when scientists say that ghosts exist in the mind… science is only in your mind too… that doesn't make it bad. or ghosts either.

Laws of nature are human inventions, like ghosts. Law of logic, of mathematics are also human inventions, like ghosts.

...we see what we see because these ghosts show it to us, ghosts of Moses and Christ and the Buddha, and Plato, and Descartes, and Rousseau and Jefferson and Lincoln, on and on and on. Isaac Newton is a very good ghost. One of the best. Your common sense is nothing more than the voices of thousands and thousands of these ghosts from the past.”

The impact of a book always depends on where you’re at in life when you come across it. Maybe it would be boring or less profound now that I’m older, have kids, etc.

Need to read it again…

Read it again.

[ApolloZen @ApolloZens]

The harsh truth is that 99% of people will never amount to anything in this life. Most will stay average, broke, unsuccessful, and controlled by the systems at play. Losers at best. Stuck in victim mode.

Discipline is what gets you moving. Obsession is what keeps you from stopping. Discipline teaches you to stay calm when everything’s falling apart, but obsession doesn’t care about calm. It eats at you. It makes you push when there’s nothing left to give.

Every successful person I’ve ever met had that look in their eyes, the one that only obsession gives you. I know a lot of disciplined people who are still broke. They show up, they work hard, they stay consistent, but they never cross that line into obsession. The good news is those people are close. They’re on their way to greatness; they just haven’t gone all in yet.

Discipline keeps you grounded, but obsession is what breaks you through. The 1% who make it have both.

Will you break through, anon?

[Mustafa @oprydai]

my favourite quote from atomic habits by James clear;

"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting
something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment"

[Virat Kohli @imVkohli]

The only time you truly fail, is when you decide to give up.

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

Hate to admit it but they were right— you kind of do need to disappear, lock in like crazy, raise your standards, and refuse to lower them to get your dream life.

[Leila Hormozi @LeilaHormozi]

Lack of focus has killed more dreams than lack of talent.

[Raj Shamani @rajshamani]

Ambition dies when you choose to settle instead of chasing more.

[Raj Shamani @rajshamani]

Regret doesn’t hit when you fail. It hits when you realise you never even tried.
