. @ProtonMail can't access my email..AGAIN. Server can't be reached Second time in a month and your site says there are no issues (said that last time and then you were like 'oops..we were wrong) I don't want to have to find another service...
I just got a notification that @TailwindApp is increasing the cost of my annual plan from $129 to $300. Are they kidding? Has anyone else been dealing with this? #wtf
Life lessons from my father that I want to teach to my son:
1. You can tell everything you need to know about a person by observing how they treat service workers.
2. Hard work will never be overrated. You have to work hard if you want to get ahead.
3. You don't need to have an opinion on everything. It's perfectly reasonable to have no opinion on something that you haven't researched or don't understand.
4. You can get pretty damn far in life by just saying what you're going to do and then doing it.
5. Showing up early costs very little and pays off handsomely in the long run.
6. Waking up early is the easiest way to improve your odds of success. You don't have to wake up early to be successful, but you rarely find an early riser that isn't winning.
7. Having good posture is a physical and mental unlock for life.
8. Being kind to people is the only real life hack. Kindness remains severely underrated.
9. Consistency is everything. You should never bet against a person who just keeps showing up.
10. Most of us need fewer friends and more intellectual sparring partners. Friends are pleasant and easy to come by, but intellectual sparring partners question our assumptions and force us to level up.
Those are 10 life lessons I learned from my father that I want to teach to my son.

@shapelyknitter haha totally! My interns think things from the 90s and even early 2000s are vintage! I guess one always thinks it's anything before you were born. It's subjective but for me QUALITY pieces from the early '80s could be vintage? And anything before that. So 40 years...?
I love many things about Taylor Swift –her attitude and energy and how she seems to be a great role model for her younger fans–and I really want to love her music but...I find it bland and boring. Am I the only one? Am I missing something?
@jonarma Hey John! I saw one of your essays talked about utilizing AI. Try that to help change your mindset. I asked chatgpt to write me an encouraging letter and mentioned my goal and also asked for an inspiring quote. I'm reading it daily ;)
@CZenti I meditate a bit and I think that helped me be aware more of my thoughts. But affirmations + the technique of writing a letter to myself as a friend both helped too!
