we have a saying, NO CRYING UNTIL seeing the coffin

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Bill Gates says the world may have to “suffer a few of the negatives” of AI before we get full regulation. In a recent essay, Gates described the coming years as “one of the most turbulent times in human history."

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

It does not make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.

You have to be run by ideas not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win, otherwise good people do not stay.

I forgive myself now

[Math Files @Math_files]

One day, mathematician Shizuo Kakutani was teaching a class at Yale University.

During the lecture, he wrote a lemma on the blackboard and told the students that its proof was obvious.

A student hesitantly raised his hand and said that the proof was not obvious to him. He politely asked if Professor Kakutani could explain it.

Kakutani paused for a moment and tried to think through the argument. After a while, he realized something surprising—he could not immediately prove the lemma himself.

Smiling a little awkwardly, he apologized to the class and said he would return with the proof in the next lecture.

After the class ended, Kakutani went straight to his office and began working on it.

He spent a long time trying different ideas, but the proof would not come. The problem kept bothering him.

Eventually, he decided to search the library for the original source of the lemma.

After some effort, he finally located the paper where the lemma first appeared. The statement was written clearly.

Then he looked at the proof.

Instead of a detailed explanation, it simply said: “Exercise for the reader.”

At that moment, Kakutani realized something amusing—the paper had been written years earlier… by himself.

It was a gentle reminder that even great mathematicians sometimes forget the details of their own work.

So I’m a conscientious and open minded man.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The books you love are a window into your personality.

•Mystery & self-improvement attract conscientious people
•Sci-fi, psychology, philosophy draw open-minded people
•Memoir & horror appeal to neurotic people

Reading doesn't just shape our views. It reveals what we're like.

Knowing what one knows and knowing what one does not know — this is wisdom.

[Mathonymics @Mathonymics]

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited knowledge or competence in a specific area greatly overestimate their own abilities. Conversely, highly skilled individuals often underestimate their relative competence, assuming tasks that are easy for them are similarly easy for others.

[redrockvilla @redrockvilla]

Keep consistent or change mind? Change is not easy, there is no guarantee the change you made is right.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I’m increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.

[redrockvilla @redrockvilla]

searching per se is the meaning being looking after

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. Fall in love with some activity and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about and it doesn't matter.

20 pushups at 90 years old. I don’t have any age verification on this guy but I’m assuming he is indeed 90. He even pauses mid set to tease his kid about their partial rep form. This guy gets the “no excuses pays off” award to start 2026! Inspiring!

So know when and how to adjust is the key, it’s still a win or lose game

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Success is not about finishing everything you start. It’s about knowing when to grit and when to quit.

235 studies: When people adjust their goals and plans in the face of challenges, they make more progress—and feel less depressed and anxious.

The ultimate flex is flexibility.

in most cases, I can accept the truth later, and not to admit my fault. still learn something, but with damaged relationship.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When you get defensive about feedback, you fail twice. You fail to learn today, and you fail to encourage people to keep teaching you tomorrow.

If you can't handle the truth, people stop telling you the truth.

A key to growth is showing that you're coachable.

Elon Musk says Tesla’s fleet will be part Uber, part Airbnb

Tesla owners can easily add their vehicles to the autonomous fleet through the app when not using them.

They’ll earn money—often more than their monthly payment, while Tesla takes a small cut

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Good books immerse you in a new world. Great books introduce you to a new worldview.

Good books are page-turners—they're meant to be devoured. Great books are corner-folders—they're made to be savored.

Good books keep you engaged. Great books leave you changed.

A chinese old saying: prefer being criticized by a gentleman, other than being liked by a mean person

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A sign of maturity is caring more about being respected than being liked.

Liking is shallow affection. It comes from being pleasant—you bend over backwards to accommodate others.

Respect is deep regard. It's earned by being principled—you consistently stand up for your values.

[redrockvilla @redrockvilla]

the most handle is to solve the man who criticizes

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

People who can’t handle criticism are unfit to lead.

Weak leaders silence their critics to shield their egos. They fear dissent as a threat to their power.

Strong leaders silence their egos to learn from their critics. They welcome dissent as an opportunity for growth.
