It's been over a week since I read this chapter and I still can't stop thinking about this moment right here

The single greatest page in Baki (maybe all of manga), perfectly encapsulates the charismatic nature of the character and the quote itself just goes insanely hard

[Ten000Hours @DevInTheLab]

Everybody is not Kobe. We get in trouble in life for not learning how to celebrate the small victories. We are judging a man for not reacting how another man did. These are childhood dreams coming true… don’t be afraid to celebrate

Real, bro.

i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.

i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.

sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.

so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.

spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.

that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.

Living proof that you do NOT need to sacrifice your mental health, your physical health, or your happiness and hobbies to be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Joy is a competitive super power.

Alysa Liu retired from figure skating at 16.
She was tired of not not having fun, tired of being consumed by her sport.

She came back two years later with a new goal: to have as much fun on the ice as possible. And now she’s an Olympic gold medalist.

Liu won her first national title when she was just 13. But by 16, after competing in the 2022 Olympics, she decided she’d had enough and stepped away. She said pressure and losing her identity trying to be an elite athlete made it all miserable.

But then, she said she went on a ski trip that reminded her just how much fun she could have doing a sport. Something in her brain clicked. Maybe she could bring fun to figure skating. Maybe she could approach it in a way that could be full of joy and life and love.

She unretired at 18 and won a world championship the next year. At 20, she was ready to face these Olympic games differently than in 2022.

Liu went into the women’s figure skating final in third place. After her short program, she said:

“Even if I mess up and fall, that’s totally okay, too. I’m fine with any outcome, as long as I’m out there.”

One of the greatest competitive advantages is having fun. People love to romanticize the athlete, artist, or entrepreneur who has a chip on their shoulder, fueled by anger and resentment.

But the truth is that if you’re not having fun, you are not going to last long at whatever it is you do, and you certainly won’t get the best out of yourself. There’s a foolish idea that you either have to be full of intensity or full of joy. But that’s nonsense.

It’s no surprise one of the first things out of Alysa’s mouth after her free skate was: “That was so much fun!”

Joy and intensity can coexist, and in the best performers, they almost always do.

Alysa is unapologetically authentic and true to her values. She has said where she used to skate to win and be technically perfect, she now uses competition as a chance to show her art, to have fun, and to put herself out there.

She’s a fierce athlete with an infectious sense of joy in her sport.

And she broke USA's 24-year gold medal draught in women’s figure skating doing it.

Excellence requires focus, determination, a little bit of crazy, at times obsession, and living a mundane lifestyle that many people would find boring.

But excellence also requires that you find deep joy in your craft, that you learn how to have fun while working hard.

What makes for excellence—and not just in sports, but in anything—is the combination of intensity and joy. It’s the latter that makes the former sustainable.

[Nick @nickcammarata]

the obvious lesson is “only do things for joy”

but the real move is deliberately training joy itself, as you’d train your physical muscles. stop optimizing the activity, upgrade the substrate. then it doesn’t matter what you’re doing, whatever it is, it will be done joyfully

Genuinely the best advice i’ve ever gotten regarding trauma is from Mike in BCS

“One day you’ll wake up, you’ll brush your teeth and go through all your usual stuff. When you get home you’ll realize that you didn’t think about it once. That’s when you’ll know”

[LLONER 🦅🪐 @eyojoel77]

I actually don't want to climb any corporate ladders. I don't care about job titles. I don't need accolades.

I just want to have income to fund my lifestyle, not be depressed, help other people, and be around good humans.

How big is ₱35,240,000,000.00?

To exhaust that amount in just one year, you would need to spend a staggering ₱96.85 million every single day. Sounds unreal? Even if you decided to spend ₱3 million a day, it would still take you 32 years and 4 months before the money finally runs out.

In a real-life situation, ₱35.24 billion could have funded the complete 4-year college education of 1.7 million Filipino students, assuming an average tuition of ₱20,000 per semester. That’s an entire generation of future professionals whose dreams could have been secured with this amount.

That is how massive ₱35.24 billion is. Ganun ka kalala, Zaldy Co!

Jihyo: We received the whole HUNTRIX soundtrack and asked to pick which song we'd like to do. It's a bit of a pity we didn't choose Golden but we love TAKEDOWN and it was a great fit for the 3 of us.

Jeongyeon: TAKEDOWN was the most difficult song I've ever recorded since debut.
