Novak Djokovic: “I chose the most difficult sport. My father had to beg and borrow money from criminals. He asked for $5000 and said this money is for my son so he can play tennis. He was told the interest rate is 25%. My father said, ‘OK, I’ll take it.’”

@Andric1961 You are a popular journalist for the region, but seeing this thread that divides people further is not helping you nor the people you are writing about. Write more about the great people and projects in MK, BG, SRB, KS, ALB, GR that unite us. We have enough idiots to divide us
@JamesPettifer1 MiG fighter jets as ornaments?!? Glad my kids can grow up with more of the traditional ornaments, values and play FIFA on their PlayStation….
Herzensangelegenheit ❤️

One last kick-in-the-arse tweet for the year: Don’t Be a Quitter
Let me explain, as this is one of the most disappointing changes in my opinion in “tech” and startups over the last 12-18 months.
Two things together have done many a disservice: the combination of a tougher year for many >>and<< the constant celebration of … quitting. It’s all over LinkedIn and TikTok. I Quit!
There are times when it makes sense to quit. If literally, you’ve given it 100% and have zero traction. If your boss is terrible. Or, on the flip side, if you are presented with such an amazing opportunity, you just have to take it. And look, no one needs to stay in a soulless entry level job longer than necessary.
Those are the times to quit.
But now, people seem to quit far, far earlier:
* Founders with millions in revenue quitting just because it’s harder
* Founders with any happy customers quitting because they’ve “given it a shot”
* Founders phoning it in because it’s harder, rather than doubling down and figuring it out
* VPs quitting because the job was harder than they thought
* Top ICs quitting because their job was a lot harder than last year
The common theme here? Very talented folks quitting when the going got tough — and they felt fine about it.
All across social media, we see stories of telling folks to quit these days. To take care of yourself, to focus on work-life balance, to just push on if things aren’t easy.
Maybe that’s good advice — for the medicore. But not for you.
Every startup I’ve joined or startup has almost failed. Heck, SaaStr itself has almost failed. We lost $10,000,000 in March 2020, and half the team then quit. Not fun.
You can quit. The good news now, is many folks will tell you that was the right call. It seems to be part of the culture now. You won’t suffer any stigma for losing all your investors’ money, or dropping your customers, or abandoning the vision, or having the VP stint just not work out. No one will judge you these days.
But don’t. Don’t quit if you have even a handful of truly happy customers. Don’t quit if you can build something great. Don’t quit if you have a great boss. Don’t quit just because it’s harder.
As tough as it may seem, that moment of relief you may get for a week or month by quitting … probably won’t be worth it. If you left something real.
You’ll look back and see you that was rarer than you’d realized. And why we all do it, really.
„Ein Sieg von uns allen“ 🙏

Novak Djokovic's entire interview on 60 Minutes is excellent — but this clip of him talking about developing mental toughness is especially great.
“Even though there is no physical contact in tennis, there’s still a lot of eye contact”
@dharmesh Especially in December
Make a list, check it twice, and make sure everyone that truly went the extra yard gets the credit for 2023 they deserve
