I’m in love with this sentence:

“Never underestimate a person who practices self-education in their free time.”

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Mark Manson was right when he said:

“Beware: learning more is a smart person’s favorite form of procrastination.”

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

Do the opposite of the average person, and you'll be successful:

Stop following rage-baiters. Don't get mixed up in politics. Be kind to everyone. Be optimistic. Do insanely good work always. Eat well, sleep well, and train hard.

Great lives are remarkably simple.

[Sahil Lavingia @shl]

If you work on the right thing, you only have to work one hour a week

If you work on the wrong thing, you have to work 10 hours a day

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

You’re not overwhelmed because life is hard, you’re overwhelmed because your mind is undisciplined. You entertain every impulse, chase every thought, respond to every emotion. Until you build a filter for what deserves your energy, life will feel heavier than it is.

[kashvi @kashvi]

this is exactly how you become the dream version of yourself btw

[James Clear @JamesClear]

One of the most valuable skills in life is being able to see another person's perspective.

If you're going to someone's house, think about how it might feel to be the host. If you're creating a product, spend as much time as possible thinking like the customer. If you're calling customer service, think about how it might feel to be on the other end of the conversation.

The more clearly you understand the viewpoint of your spouse or customer or coworker, the better positioned you are to find a solution.

"The world is not designed to give you a good life. It's designed to distract you from building one."

Real banger by @MattyFusaro

Put on blinders and build.

Jensen Huang said it right:

“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character. Character is not formed out of smart people, it is formed out of people who have suffered.”

That’s how making a startup succeed goes

[ashe @ashebytes]

you've gotta be more afraid of wasting your life than embarrassing yourself

[Jay Yang @Jayyanginspires]

Confidence in public comes from unseen work in private.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The more delusionally optimistic you are, the more life rewards you.”

[Aubrey Strobel @aubreystrobel]

there’s a lot of modern snake oil salesmen who sell masculinity to young men.

but this is the most masculine, honest, real conversation i have seen between two men.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The older I get, the more I realize how many people waste their entire lives waiting to feel ready. Gathering more information. Creating the perfect plan. Simulating progress. Convincing themselves they’ll start tomorrow. Readiness is a myth. Action creates clarity. Do the thing.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

If you don’t know where to focus, always focus on these two things:
1. Operating with integrity
2. Providing value

Being a person of integrity who genuinely provides value, never goes out of style...and builds a reputation you can't buy.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

People say you have to "enjoy the process" of creating a successful business/career, but sometimes the "process" really sucks.

It is hard, lonely, and requires a lot of sacrifice.

There are good, energizing, amazing things too...
But nowhere near "enjoying it all."
Get real.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

"People who are good at making excuses, are never very good at making money." - Dan Kennedy

Timeless truth for the ages.

[Kevin Szabo @KevinSzabo14]

Nobody “finds” their passion.

You try things. Most of them you’ll hate.

You stick around long enough to find the one thing you can at least tolerate.

Then you go all in.

That’s the whole process.

Years of sucking before it feels like passion.
