Luck is 100% contagious and won't be convinced otherwise

Everyone knows the dude who gets to some wealth number says "i'm good now no need for more" then gets handed a 10x within a year or two. Applies to all aspects of life really.

Once you don't need it, luck shows up big

Quite literally all your gains come when you feel like it's over and want to quit. Knock on gym bros, athletes all you want but they got that right.

You should save the all out red-lining for those times. Rest is hitting singles/doubles and getting on base.

[Jack Moses ∞ @jackmoses777]

A good sign of success is if you're laughing and giggling all throughout the day.

Everything is fun. Life is absurd. You respond to hate with jokes. You dance on the edge of what's acceptable to text your business partners. You send the meme you'd get cancelled for if it went public. You see God's workings all throughout the day and you laugh at his comedy.

There's no need to be ultra serious all the time. Things will go better when you approach them with lightness and laughter. Even if something is "high stakes," don't fall into the illusions of seriousness, pressure, and attachment. These are programs. Dance through the "high stakes" situation with a playful spirit. We're all just grown-up kids pretending to be serious anyway.

You will be healthier, have higher energy, and become more successful when you start gigglemaxxing and jestermaxxing.

Missiles being shot off around the world.

This is us, still enjoying life and not living with fear.

Enjoy life, it could any second without a missile

Shoutout to Kevin Cook’s Tiger Slam book for offering a bit of gear minutiae I’d never heard before.

During the 2000 Open Championship, Tiger used only one 2.1-inch tee for 72 holes. One.

The tee remained in a leather pouch with his wallet and wallet from then on.

My kids asked for Donald Duck tonight… I found this 1938 episode, and apparently Uncle Donny was a member of Cypress…

God gave you a sword and you asked for a shield. That was your first betrayal

[xadran @xadrani]

you just need 1 pair of balls

in an entire bloodline

to change the lives of thousands of your descendants, forever.

example:

napoleon's dad left his family with so much debt after he died,

that the family were hoping the french revolution could stir things up enough

to somehow relieve them of their debts.

napoleon was the only corsican to hold an artillery commission in the french army,

and sometimes had to skip meals in order to afford books through his teenage years.

he was teased for coming from a "conquered nation",

and for being among the poorest of his classmates.

despite this,

of his 7 siblings who survived infancy,

napoleon managed to lift his brothers & sisters to becoming:

- 3 kings
- a queen
- 2 sovereign princesses

He bought his mother a chateau on the seine,

& gave her an annual salary of 1 million francs.

when asked why she was still so frugal despite her new income, she replied,

"Who knows,

one day I may have to find bread for all the kings I've borne"

titles of the house of bonaparte include:

- Emperor of the French
- King of Italy
- King of Spain
- King of Holland
- King of Naples and Sicily
- King of Westphalia
- King of Rome
- Prince of Elba
- Prince of Andorra
- Grand Duke of Berg and Cleves
- Prince of Lucca and Piombino
- Prince of Canino and Musignano
- Prince of Montfort
- Duke of Guastalla
- Count of Meudon
- Count of Moncalieri
- Prince of Parma
- Prince-President of France
- Noble Patrician of Tuscany
- Duke of Reichstadt
- Count of Saint-Leu
- Countess of Lipona
- Grand Constable of France
- Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine

it

In a prior age, you could not be considered an educated individual if you were not at least conversant in Latin and Greek.

I think about this often.
