If you have a problem with procrastination, use the magic words to solve it.

The magic words are “I don’t have time later” and count downs from 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 🚀

I’m looking for AI/DC hardware including NVIDIA H200, B300, GB200/GB300 NVL72 and HGX/rack-scale systems.

If you know any operators, stockholders or direct suppliers in Europe with access to this type of inventory, give me a DM.

Some seasons of life are for building.
Some are for healing.
Some are for waiting.

Enjoy the seasons.

Taste is like a skill you can learn it.

It grows from paying attention longer than other people are willing to.

The more people I meet, the more convinced I become that nearly everyone is carrying a battle nobody can see.

Which makes kindness one of the most underrated skills in the world.

The system rewards people for having answers.

Real life rewards people for asking better questions.

I have met people with every advantage imaginable.

The rarest advantage is still enthusiasm.

The secret of becoming good at what you do is 3 things.

Be Obsessed ti make better results.
Open to learn new techniques or ways.
Do it again and again.

It’s that simple…

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

The worst part is knowing exactly what you need to do...

And still watching yourself choose the easy escape.

The phone.
The snack.
The scroll.
The “later.”

Many people consume more information in one week than previous generations consumed in a year.

The question is no longer:
“How do I learn more?”

The question is:
“What deserves my attention?”

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

The best conversations leave you with more questions than answers.

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

The people who change your life rarely tell you something new.

They help you notice something you have been ignoring.

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

There are goals that make your life bigger.

There are goals that make your life smaller.

The difficult part is that both can look impressive from the outside.

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

The older I get, the more I realize that confidence isn’t built from winning.
It’s built from surviving.
Surviving embarrassing moments.
Surviving failure.
Surviving rejection.
Surviving looking stupid.
After enough of those experiences, you stop fearing them.

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

Some people spend years trying to find their purpose.

Others accidentally build theirs by showing up long enough.

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

Most people think discipline is forcing yourself to do things you hate.

The most disciplined people I’ve met actually enjoy the process.

That’s why they last.

A wise man told me once a pen can make mistake and a pencil can make mistake too, but a pencil has a good friend, eraser so both of them can fix the mistake. That is the important thing to have a great friends to have a great partner.

Hot take: Entrepreneurship is just an intentional self development.

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

confidence culture sells you a feeling.

but the feeling is not what you need.

what you need is evidence. and evidence only comes from action.

stop trying to feel ready.

start building to be competent.

Competent bring confidence.

[odedarma @itsodedarma]

you are not waiting for confidence.
you are waiting for a guaranteed outcome before you act.
those are very different problems.
one can be solved. the other is just fear with better vocabulary.
