Tattoo this to your brain:

"The world is a malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.”

We kid ourselves that our degrees make us smarter than trades people. There’s a team framing a house near me with multiple gables and roof intersections. These guys are geniuses in their ability to see the geometry of a complex space and manifest it in the physical universe.

@JAustinEDU to say nothing of the fact that no such bullshit rules show up in the real world ever, ever.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers.

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

@t_c_hernandez77 welcome to the O-H! Hope it's a great game, I'll be in the Valley by that time 🤣

[Mastery Quotes @MasteryQuot]

You must know your field inside and out, and yet be able to question its most entrenched assumptions.

[Mastery Quotes @MasteryQuot]

Understand the superior value of getting what you want through hard work.

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

There is nothing worth doing that is not scary. There is no one who has achieved greatness without wrestling with their own doubts, anxieties, limitations, and demons.

[Mastery Quotes @MasteryQuot]

Real pleasure comes from overcoming challenges, feeling confidence in your abilities, and experiencing the power this brings.

[Farnam Street @farnamstreet]

One big mistake people repeatedly make is focusing on proving themselves right instead of focusing on achieving the best outcome. These people care more about getting credit than creating great work.

Give up the desire for credit. Focus on creating the best outcome.

[Sherry @SchrodingrsBrat]

There’s a common misconception that once you find your calling, life will get easier. It’s the opposite—your purpose or your life’s calling probably has more struggles than a comfortable 9-5. The question is never “am I in a storm”, it’s “do I have hope and grit on my boat.”

[“paula” @paularambles]

one day you're young, hip, and carefree and the next you're in a work call hearing yourself say that “there are a lot of moving pieces”

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

See opportunities where others see obstacles.

[Philosophy Quotes @philosophors]

“Every word has consequences. Every silence, too.”

— Jean-Paul Sartre

[Philosophy On Ice @PhilosophyOI]

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."
Lao Tzu

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

If you have all the information you need to make a perfect decision, you missed the opportunity.

"It's impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." — Epictetus

[Sean Thomas Dougherty @SeanLemonhead]

Most poets aren't sages or prophets. Most of us are just average folks, working long hours to pay the rent, writing between shifts, groceries, laundry, bad weather, appointments, and sheer exhaustion, yet still trying to give back to the world with precise words.
