لترتاح روحك المرحة الصافية الصادقة رحمك الله يا حبيبتي و طيب ثراك. اللهم آنسها في وحدتها و اجعل قبرها بهجه و سرور مستبشره بلقائك و بجناتك التي لا تزول #مضاوي_العمر
This is one of my favorite speeches of all time…
It always hits me hard:
“You get up every day—you’re entitled to nothing. Nobody owes you nothing. You could have talent, but if you don’t have discipline, and you don’t execute, you don’t focus… What do you get? Nothing. If you’re complacent and not paying attention to detail… What does that get you? Nothing. So nothing is acceptable but your best.”
This is a harsh reality of life:
Talent is meaningless without discipline.
Ambition is worthless without execution.
Focus is the difference between potential and reality.
You’re not entitled to success—it’s earned in the quiet, thankless moments when no one is watching.
The antidote to entitlement is relentless ownership.
Show up fully. Pay attention to the details. Do your best—every single day.
Because in a world where everyone wants the reward, it’s those who refuse to accept anything less than their best who build something worth being proud of.
Historically, yield compression with every major equity market sell off has led to significant gains for Treasury note holders. However, gains on Treasury notes have fallen along with yield. With yields as low as they are today, have they lost their ability to hedge?
Not ESG: One Bitcoin transaction requires the same energy as around 500,000 Visa transactions; annual electricity consumption is equivalent to that of Pakistan (c.217m ppl) and more than Holland (c.17.5m ppl)
Dear @HopeMarsMission, congratulations on arriving at Mars! In the words of the poet Al Mutanabbi:

فَلا تَقنَعْ بما دونَ النّجومِ

“The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.” Ernest Hemingway, Esquire 1935 https://t.co/cpD2yuNGHb
“With so much stimulus being deployed, trying to figure out if the economy is in recession is like trying to assess if you had a fever after you just took a large dose of aspirin,” Seth Klarman
“Big Tech knows best. They discarded their creation – Trump – because they had no further need of him. He had helped make them rich, as we all have.
Because, like Trump, many of us thought we were using Big Tech. We weren’t. They were using us.”
