Very, very true. I clocked this at age 7. People never put effort into things that will really make them great; they get distracted by things that won't. At 7, I read a lot about great men and what set them apart. It was three things:

1. Organization - Most great people I know have very organized and focused minds, leaving little room for distractions.

2. Consistency - You really become the greatest by constantly improving on your best. Most great people don't do one thing, get applause, and then go back to mediocrity. They consistently improve. Wahab Sarumi proved this in university. He saved me.

3. Discipline - Most great people need discipline to achieve the two things above. Sometimes what we call “hard work” is just discipline in action. Disciplined people always work hard, but hardworking people are not always disciplined.

Lack of discipline and a lack of delayed gratification are what typically lead to most failures. I have seen people who work hard and still do not improve because, in one area of their life, they try to overcompensate for that effort with overindulgence.

It could be liquor, leisure, or leverage, according to Charlie Munger. The three deadly sins are subtly being advertised to us daily by people who have made fortunes by capitalizing on human weakness.

Very few fortunes are made from “selling human discipline.” People buy things like gym memberships and never follow through. Most fortunes are made by people who sell to “human weakness” and they are also never high on their own supply. The biggest tech billionaires try to get their kids to largely avoid the tech they sell because they know the dangers of their product.

Discipline is all conquering, and the greatest battlefield is the mind. Our temptations change over time. Once, I was a slave to my hormones, but I was making enough money to support the habit.

I later became addicted to crisis, thinking it was hard work. So-called workaholics also lack discipline. It takes a lot of effort to say no at both extremes. I eventually found the middle way, at great cost.

I am great to my family, and that is the most important thing in the world to me.

Golden State’s depth and defense are what give this team a legitimate shot at winning its first WNBA championship.

The Valkyries have had nine different players lead the team in scoring, and each of them has done it multiple times. Defensively, they’ve held several teams to season lows while also forcing some of the league’s best players into some of their toughest performances of the year.

One of the biggest questions surrounding Golden State has been who can take over late when the game is on the line. Gabby Williams has shown she can be that player. In the regular-season finale, she scored eight consecutive points to help the Valkyries erase a 12-point deficit and beat the Los Angeles Sparks by one. She also scored three points in the final three minutes of a 78-75 win over Atlanta.

Golden State went a combined (1-6) against Las Vegas and Minnesota, with much of those struggles coming when the bulk of its starting five had poor shooting nights. But its lone win over Minnesota also showed what this team can look like when the starters provide enough offensively to complement one of the deepest benches in the league.

That combination of depth, defense and timely production from its starters could make Golden State a difficult team to deal with in the postseason.

Gabby Williams to the rescue. Here's how her heroics sounded on @957thegame, @espn1320 and @siriusxmnba tonight (excuse the audio clipping. You can say I got excited, to put it lightly).

[Underdog WNBA @UnderdogWNBA]

Nneka Ogwumike to start her postgame speech:

"I just gotta get this out the way: I should've made that free throw. And I should've made the putback a couple possessions before that."

[Offend_no_one @offendnoone]

Women will never understand the simple joy men get from just existing.

A man can arrive in a new city, walk around for hours, explore random streets, observe people, and be completely fucking content.

Then a woman joins.

Now there needs to be an agenda.

Cafe. Restaurant. Shopping. Tourist spot. Photos.

Next location.

Something always has to be happening.

Meanwhile, a man can grab a good drink, sit in the town square for three hours, watch the world move around him, and think:

"Yeah. This is f*cking nice."

No itinerary. No entertainment. No destination.

Just existing without needing existence to entertain you.

Being a man is peaceful.

@NaijaBet Anyone! Depends on the combination on the floor. It could be Veronica Burton, Gabby Williams, Tiffany Hayes, Kayla Thorton, Janelle Salaun or Cecilia Zandalacini. Its a team with multiple strength options.

With her first point Sunday, Olivia Miles broke Caitlin Clark's record for the most points by a rookie in WNBA history 👏

Her 19.8 PPG is on pace to be the 4th-highest by a rookie behind:
🏀 Cynthia Cooper - 22.2 in 1997
🏀 Seimone Augustus - 21.9 in 2006
🏀 A'ja Wilson - 20.7 in 2018

Natalie Nakase explained how players like Juste Jocyte and Laeticia Amihere have taken advantage of the opportunity with the FIBA players still reconditioning.

“It actually worked out in our favor, because now we have game minutes.”

Underrated life advice: Just stay in the game. The best things in life are a result of compounding. But you can’t compound if you let yourself get taken out of the game. Whatever storm life throws your way, just roll with it. Adapt. Survive and advance. Always stay in the game.
