I realized I generally respect 2 types of people the most: people who've done/doing something great the right way & people who are just honest and genuinely kind. Then I realized how much overlap there is between the 2 groups.

How to learn anything.

The Feynman Technique:

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

Few things are more important in life than avoiding the wrong people.

It’s tempting to think that we are strong enough to avoid adopting the worst of others, but that’s not how it typically works.

We unconsciously become what we’re near.

If you work for a jerk, sooner or later you’ll become one yourself. If your colleagues are selfish, sooner or later you become selfish. If you hang around someone who’s unkind, you’ll slowly become unkind. Little by little, you adopt the thoughts and feelings, the attitudes and standards of the people around you. The changes are too gradual to notice until they’re too large to address.

[Jacky Wang @Jackywang135]

Set yourself up for success by shifting the paradigm, be so good they can’t ignore you

[Jacky Wang @Jackywang135]

Understanding that majority of people are driven by love, money, and power. The majority of the world is driven by incentives, narratives, and politics. Helps navigate life easier

[Jacky Wang @Jackywang135]

Time invested in communication is undervalued, there’s nothing you can’t resolve or at least learn more about with a real 2 hour conversation about anything, with good intentions

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking.

You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.

Being back in the insanity of New York City, somehow makes me feel sane 🙂

Biggest waste of time/life is working/talking/associating with non win/win default mindset people.

Some of the best feeling in the world is to just be a beginner again :)

The freedom to choose your response

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

The ability to stay calm and polite, even when people upset you, is a superpower.

[Jacky Wang @Jackywang135]

One takeaway from observing birds is, to be nimble, fast and agile, no need to show your wings until you need to fly; for humans, no need to flex until you need to exert.

[Jacky Wang @Jackywang135]

Luxury brands don’t target rich people, they target wanna be rich people. Your personal freedom should be what you’re after no matter how much you have

I spent 300 hours writing a guide on how to write well.

Same!!! The stimulation of white noise + passive ppl watching is the secret ingredient for me

[Stopa @stopachka]

There's something about coffee shops that make writing there fun and liberating.

It's almost impossible in an office setting for me.
