There’s a Japanese saying:
“If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”
Geniune compliments do wonders.
This is a long and tough journey.
Receiving something like this is fuel and motivation.
If you admire someone for something…
Let them know. You have no idea the impact it can have.
people with higher quality sleep make more money, are more attractive, age more slowly, and win at life FAR more than those with worse sleep.

Novak Djokovic went 3 years without sugar, let one piece of chocolate melt on his tongue after the longest tennis match ever… then went straight back to training.
Roger Federer won the Australian Open eating ice cream every single night.
George Mack’s point: Djokovic’s extreme discipline vs Federer’s relaxed enjoyment. Stephen King raw-dogging novels vs J.K. Rowling using spreadsheets. Buffett reading everything vs Jim Simons using algorithms.
At the highest level, the winners pick what works for them.
