[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Luck doesn’t just happen, it’s created. You can do things to increase the odds of serendipity.

Meeting more people makes you lucky.
Learning more skills makes you lucky.
Being willing to fail makes you lucky.
Offering to help others more often makes you lucky.

Overheard @BrickCanvas: Give this #bikramyoga class at least 4 tries before you make up your mind about it. The heat, the light, the postures. It doesn’t get easier but it does get easier.” 🥵🧘🏻‍♀️😍

I love seeing people win because it just opens my eyes to how much can be achieved in a lifetime. It really feels like there’s an infinite amount of ways to be successful.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

"...my mistake was waiting to start my master’s. Once life starts coming at you, it’s a lot harder to say, 'hey, go back and get your master’s.' I didn’t need a master’s degree to keep my job—I needed it to leave my job. That master’s is the ticket to whatever happens next.”

Underrated life advice: Become a purveyor of encouragement. Notice what's good in people. Tell them when they do something well. Celebrate their progress. Root for them to win. Be inspired by their success. The world already has enough critics. Be different.

[Augustus @AugustusDelano]

Underrated life hacks:

- never stop learning, ever, no matter what
- recognize no one is stopping you more than yourself

I’ve lost track of how many interviews I’ve done over the years. This might be the best yet, especially the section on possible retirement. I’ve never had an athlete be as open and honest. Careers are rarely smooth sailing. Ken is the first to be unvarnished about it with me

Teaching journalism in the AI era - "They couldn’t see the “tell” because they weren't accomplished enough to do so; they abdicated the imperative to know. Real writers need to be better than the program."

"Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humour, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence, and nothing too much."

[Jesse Ozone @Jessseglee]

The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure. If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens. You have to engage the world to win.

Travel more. Talk to people.
