Make a decision, don’t look back

Working a minimum wage job in your teenage years is a rite of passage: it changes how you view status, identity, and most importantly, you touch grass in a way that no Paulo Coelho or Hermann Hesse novel is capable of substituting. The maturity that grows in a young person working a “low” job is transformative via experience.

I can always tell when someone’s never had one of those jobs - they treat service people differently (and it’s kind of independent of class or upbringing). They might not mean to be standoffish, they might not even realize when they’re being disrespectful because they’ve never been on the other side and therefore can’t empathize. They can’t see that, through the thin veil of customer service, the other person is just a normal guy or girl not too far off from themselves.

Coming of age doesn’t happen through reading or thinking it comes from doing and experiencing.

The story of 'Doodlebug', an orphaned baby kangaroo who was found on the side of the road, a little baby about two months old.

Tim Beshara and his mum Gillian Abbott who is a wildlife caretaker took care of him, and gave him a teddy bear for comfort, and he wouldn't stop hugging it.

A deep conversation with another clear thinker is always time well spent. It clarifies what you want from life, it keeps you bold and driven, it gives you better ambitions, better goals.

If the good life is created by a series of high quality decisions, and high quality decisions only come from improvement after low quality decisions, then it is in your best interest to fail hard and often with a smile on your face.

Successful people are just people who handle rejection with optimism, with infinite patience when it comes to trying again.

The FEYNMAN technique of learning:

STEP 1 - Pick and study a topic

STEP 2 - Explain the topic to someone, like a child, who is unfamiliar with the topic

STEP 3 - Identify any gaps in your understanding

STEP 4 - Review and Simplify! 🧠

During a solar eclipse, the gaps between leaves on trees act as multiple pinhole cameras,

and each gap projects its own crescent-shaped image of the eclipsed sun onto the ground.
