Every Sunday, I break down one topic in 5 practical tweets.

@DividendenZuMir Interesting analysis! I wish your father a speedy recovery!

@sparbuchfeinde Great points here! After spending the last few years in German MNCs these are proven ways to navigate the bureaucracy and politics. Ofcourse you also need to deliver results!

Excellence is born from a form of letting go.
From a fluid presence that doesn’t tense up over the outcome.

Amazing achievement! Reading this while sipping my morning coffee. Great Sunday motivation!

JUST IN: 40-year-old American climber Alex Honnold has successfully completed his climb up the Taipei 101 building in Taipei, Taiwan.

He reached the top of the tower in 1:31:35.

The building is 1,667 feet tall making it the 11th-tallest building in the world.

Wild.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: The fastest way to stay average is to avoid situations where you���re bad at the start. The fastest way to grow is to seek them out deliberately.

@p_millerd Agreed! I used to listen to his podcasts back in 2021 while working out. Would recommend him for his genuine approach and honest opinion

I just deep-dived into Aesop - the brand charging $46 for hand soap and somehow making it feel like a smart daily luxury.

My breakdown of their playbook:
• Everyday hygiene → repeatable sensory ritual (not rare splurge)
• Next-level experiential retail: every store architect-designed (rammed earth walls in Park Slope!), staff even washes your hands
• Understated, almost academic tone + packaging that feels intelligent and tasteful
• Perfectly rides the ‘barbell’ consumer trend in 2026: trade down on boring basics, trade up on small things that elevate daily life amid inflation

Their stores basically do all the marketing. Brilliant positioning.
What’s your personal ‘trade-up’ daily indulgence? Fancy coffee? Premium socks? Good skincare?

The universe aligns with what you beleive. Believe that you can achieve greatness, act like it. The universe aligns opportunities that get you there.

Just listened to @Codie_Sanchez’s Big Deal podcast episode: "Stop Rambling: The 3-2-1 Speaking Trick That Makes You Sound Like A CEO" 🔥

Her go-to framework:
Pause for 3 seconds → Give 2 clear points → End with 1 question

Bonus tips:
- Speak calmly
- Gesture before you speak
- Open your rib cage & breathe deep
- Clarity > complexity every time

Game-changer for sounding sharp & confident.

Merry Christmas! Celebrate the holiday surrounded by loved ones. If you're spending it alone, know that you are cherished and thought of by many.
Sending warmth, love, and light to all this Christmas. ❤️

Reminder: Taking action avoids anxiety.

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

91.4% of worries experienced by people with anxiety never come true.

Stillness is key to success. Course correct and fire on all fronts.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Reflection requires stillness.

One cost of rushing from thing to thing is that you lose the space to think. Hard work matters, but nonstop motion often hides a quiet truth: you could have used your time better.

If you never pause, you confuse activity with effectiveness. Make time to think. Walk outside. Sit quietly. Create space. Then move again, but this time on purpose.

[The Millennial Guy @MillennialGuy]

@matt_gray_ The best workout is without any media. Raw dogging it. Trying to multitask often ends up in forgotten learning’s or half assed workouts. Great if you can achieve them simultaneously

[The Millennial Guy @MillennialGuy]

@GrindeOptions Retire and do what. 2.5M is a weird situation. Work stress is not worth it, but it’s not enough to comfortably retire with the USD losing value

[The Millennial Guy @MillennialGuy]

@wealth_director Looking back on 2025, I pushed myself, achieved, failed but most importantly kept moving

[The Millennial Guy @MillennialGuy]

@Jayyanginspires Keep moving, mess or not, don’t get stuck

[The Millennial Guy @MillennialGuy]

When you're impatient with results, every day feels expensive. When you're impatient with effort, every day feels like progress.

The 1% daily improvement method benefitted me greately this year. I have broken down this method in my series Sunday Learnings #2 - The 1% Rule.

"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."
Cicero - the Roman statesman, lawyer, and philosopher - on the power of nature and knowledge

Reading this on my 9 hour @Lufthansa flight. Already have the library now need a garden

[The Millennial Guy @MillennialGuy]

Two questions I use to guide my X ‘Sunday Learnings’ series that we can all benefit from:

Do you learn from your mistakes quickly?
Do you stay in the game and keep trying?
