Don’t give up 🔝

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

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.

Success has no formula except for grace. I’ve seen all sorts of people succeed. I have seen hard-working people succeed, and I have seen lazy people succeed. I have seen the truthful win and liars triumph. Seen the poor get rich, and the rich get even richer without explanation.

@potoki_d @grok what’s the title of this movie

[Noisy @noisyb0y1]

A regular American developer bought $1,400 worth and stacked seven Mac Minis on top of each other and connected them with metal cables.

Neighbors thought he was building a mining server. His wife thought he'd lost his mind. He just didn't want to pay $15,000 a month for a dev team.

On the screen - a diagram. Seven Mac Minis connected via Ethernet working as one machine. EXO framework distributes tasks between them automatically. 11.44 TFLOPS each. Together - more than most cloud servers that companies pay thousands for every month.

He paid $1,400 for the hardware once.

38 agents from GitHub, 156 skills. A system that learns from session to session and in two weeks writes code just like he does - but seven times faster because it runs on seven machines in parallel.

A task that took a junior dev 10-12 hours - the tower closes in 20 minutes.

One founder with this setup ships a product like a team of eight people.

For $20 a month instead of $120,000 a year.

This 7 Mac Mini setup helped him win the Anthropic hackathon and make $26,000 without a team.

I bought this box of socks for some of my consultants who supported me last year and they loved it so much. One told me, stop buying expensive things for me, I’m not as rich as you are. Imagine my boss trying to psych me. The power of packaging!!

@samuel_leeds @grok is this legit?

If you wanna find criminally cheap properties, don’t go on Rightmove. ❌

Instead, go to the Companies House website. ✅

Most people fight over the same listings.

That’s why they overpay.

Here’s exactly what to do 👇

Step 1: Click “Find company information”.
Then click “Advanced company search”.

Step 2: Under “Nature of business”, type SIC code 68100.
That’s buying and selling real estate.

Step 3: Under company status, select
Active
Liquidation
Administration
Insolvency Proceedings
Voluntary Arrangement

Then click update results.

Step 4: Click registered office address.
Search the city you want to invest in.

Now you’ve got a full list of companies that are likely under pressure.
Companies with assets.
Companies that need to sell fast.

This is where real discounts come from.

You’re not bidding against other investors.

You’re speaking directly to people who have time pressure to sell their assets at a discount.

That’s how you buy property properly.

Most people never see these deals because they don’t know where to look.

Knowledge is the real asset.

What do men want?

When I was in my 20s, I was a different type of young man. Others were drinking beer and chasing girls, but I was building a business and not drinking, but still chasing girls.

As I grew older and became more stable in my career, I wanted a family. However, I went through many failed relationships before finally realizing that it wasn't about them, but about me. I looked inward and changed myself to a more patient, more generous, and less impulsive person.

I also found religion again, and it made all the difference. I got the best life partner I could have ever imagined. A blessing. It was given to me by the grace of God. I didn't create it. I learned a great deal from that process about what is truly important in life and how to achieve it.

We believe too much that everything we do is why we get what we want and that we deserve it. The best things you have today are likely things you didn't deserve but got anyway. We should not become conceited or arrogant as it could have been much worse.

Grace isn't about NOT hustling and waiting for miracles, but knowing that even while hustling, you could be a tool for blessing others while you are being blessed. I discovered that doing good to others in relationships and avoiding a transactional approach compounds blessings.

I was having a conversation with my cousin in his mid-30s this morning about career and settling down to build a family and realized that it wasn't going to be about anything he did right but about what God determined was right.

A good friend who had ticked all the right boxes in her life, got a first class degree and a PhD before 24, called me three days to her wedding and wanted me to tell her something to make her know if she was right about going forward. I sent her Psalm 127 v 1.

“Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain”

This post wasn't meant to be all religious and “preachy” but it is International Men’s Day and I believe that what makes you a man is Grace and not bravado or hype. Real men pray and do good things. They are also blessed abundantly when they are blessings to others. Help a fellow human today.

@don_pet This is truly heartbreaking 💔. I’m so sorry for your loss. I pray that God comforts your heart, and may his soul rest in perfect peace.
