Doing anything at a world-class level requires intensity.
Intensity isn't really about gritting your teeth. It's about a wholehearted devotion to your craft. You can see intensity in people's face. Their eyes open a little wider and the pierce of their gaze makes it feel like they're zooming into what's in front of them.
Intensity is the defining characteristic of effective entrepreneurs like Frank Slootman, Steve Jobs, and Walt Disney, and the quotes below do a good job of describing it.
All this comes from a piece from @thogge.
He writes: "I have been a part of 3 exceptional startups, and each of them had a culture of intensity, with the most intense being the most successful. I have also observed this across dozens of other startups – those who end up breaking out operate with a very high level of intensity.
Perhaps the best summary of what I mean by intensity is Frank Slootman’s performance culture:
1) Raise the quality bar
2) Increase the speed
3) Narrow the focus
Doing all of these things to an intense degree is what I mean by intensity.
Most startups care about quality, but not intensely. They want to increase speed, but not intensely. They think focus is important, but they don’t focus intensely."

My brother’s girlfriend’s cousin and his family were caught in their vehicle in Maui while the wildfires suddenly erupted around them.
No cell service, so Apple Emergency SOS was the only way they could get in contact with first responders. Literally saved their lives.
Hopping on Twitter for the first time this year to say @ChipotleTweets really needs to fix this
If you need to raise prices to raise pay and hire more staff, go for it. I try to place an order and see this frequently around dinnertime 😭
So I drive to one and guess what. Totally closed. No indication of this ahead of time. Hours posted are 10:45am-10pm daily. Couldn’t be farther from the truth, this has happened to me countless times @ChipotleTweets
Can it actually be the end of the year already?! Please click here to share a toast to the holidays and the promise of a new year. When you do, we’ll say thank you with a donation to shelters in our communities. Best wishes from all of us at Publitek. https://t.co/gGSPKGMrDg
As you are shopping, prepping and preparing your Thanksgiving meals, we'd like you to know a little more about the work behind every ingredient and the people doing that work.
Here's a thread for everyone who wants to thank a farm worker this week. #WeFeedYou
Reminder: Newsmax settled a defamation suit brought by a Dominion Voting Systems executive with an apology and admitted that allegations of voter fraud that it aired were untrue.
They are nothing but propaganda for the willfully ignorant.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the upcoming iPhone 13 series will feature low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication connectivity, which will allow users to make calls and send messages when cell signal is not available
@michaelmiraflor Ming Chi is certainly one of the more reliable leak sources! Samsung certainly spends the most on ads in the west of any other brand beyond Apple; I wouldn't put it past them to run something like this but I'm not so positive this will have the desired effect. Time will tell
@michaelmiraflor Also, these memes do exist every year and are generally recycled. The "open a gift box with the same shirt" memes have been around for many years now. What's different is this year they have gained way more traction than ever before! https://t.co/RkcF5vy01D
@michaelmiraflor Honestly this trend happens every year, but this year it's before anyone's even seen what the new iPhone looks like. The timing makes no sense from an organic perspective.
@TechHighest@m_clindon@archiegee_ I also removed my Z Fold2 screen protector the first week. After a full year of use there was not a scratch on the inside screen. I'm super glad I removed it!
Lydia Rodriguez, a mother of four, was unvaccinated and died of COVID-19.
Before she went on a ventilator, she had a final request.
"Please make sure my children get vaccinated," she said, according to family. https://t.co/3d1NLMxWrf
