Such a hard lesson to learn, but absolute gold.

[Alan Couzens @Alan_Couzens]

Train your heart.🫀

Not to race faster.

To die slower.

Citadel Securities published this graph showing a strange phenomenon.

Job postings for software engineers are actually seeing a massive spike.

Classic example of the Jevons paradox. When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer.

When software is cheaper to build, companies naturally want to build a lot more of it. Businesses are now putting software into industries and tools where it was simply too expensive before.

Every. Day. Love this….

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

This is a painful truth nobody told you about success:

Rent is due every single day.

A lot of people seem to think that after you make it you can coast in the idyllic land of success.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

Every single day, you have to fight to earn your seat at the table.

And that fight gets more intense as you have more success:

You have more to lose. More mouths to feed. More people counting on you. More expectations.

There's an old saying that I love:

Every morning in the savannah, the gazelle wakes up and knows it must outrun the lion or be killed. The lion wakes up and knows it must outrun the gazelle or starve. Whether you're the gazelle or the lion, when you wake up in the morning, you'd better start running.

Rent is due daily. Pay it with pride.

Every day does NOT have to be your best time…..as long as it’s your best effort.

Took a long time to learn that lesson…. #55yearsyoung

@slowisz Perfectly said @slowisz …”balance” is the result of commitment to the right set of priorities and disciplined execution.

[mike lipps @mikeslipps]

This. Thank you, @DeAndreHopkins for using your platform like this to deliver a great message to kids who too often get told “you can’t” and “not for you”.

@Canes @UNC_Health_Care From Svech and Kuzy??? @Canes That’s some OV-FENSE!!! (Shows self out…..)

You can see something 10,000 times on your phone, but never understand it until you see it in person for the first time.

That’s the lesson from the park bench scene in Good Will Hunting.

Matt Damon is the arrogant, book-smart intellectual who’s seen little but read everything. Robin Williams is the wise professor who rolls his eyes at Damon’s hubris. The stuff of life can only be fully absorbed through direct experience, he says.

This is one reason why school falls short. It conflates regurgitation for understanding.

Shakespeare’s plays have been reduced to bite-sized cramming on SparkNotes and exam questions the following day. Or, take entrepreneurship, where certain kinds of wisdom can only be gained in the trenches of a sales call or when you have to fire the executive you swore was going to save your company.

Travel, too.

Something about the Golden Gate Bridge can only be understood when you feel the Pacific Ocean wind and shiver under a blanket of fog. Something about the life of Moses can only be understood when you stand atop Mount Nebo (where he died) and look down at the Promised Land of Israel. Something about Italian food can only be understood when you slurp “siero” in a Parmesan cheese factory and meet the 4th-generation shop owner.

Pixels on a screen aren’t enough.

Get out and Do the Thing because certain kinds of knowledge can only be gained through tactile, first-hand experience.
