For most of us, watching what's going on in the US is bizarre & unusual because we've never seen it before: the fervent tribalism, activism that looks like religion, anarchy. But then I remember that this is the natural state of humanity. Civilisation is what is unusual.
The world does not reward potential. It rewards proof. Nobody cares how intelligent, talented, or visionary you believe yourself to be if your life produces no visible evidence of it.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
Eva Green was 25 when cast as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale (2006). Director Martin Campbell chose her over Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, and Audrey Tautou after a single Paris meeting. Green had only 4 prior film credits at the time.
Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs?
Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage.
One is ready today.
The next one is ready tomorrow.
The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.”
Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem.
What do you think?
Would you prefer your bananas this way?
🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance reveals how President Trump called Putin at 1AM after the European leader meeting - SHOCKING all of the leaders in the room, who thought Trump meant he'd call Putin NEXT WEEK, not that same NIGHT! 🔥
"It was like one in the morning Moscow time and they had no anticipation...the president says 'you know, we've had a pretty good meeting. I'm gonna go call Vladimir Putin, see what he says about it.' And everybody's like, 'Oh you're gonna call him next week?' And he's like, 'No, what time is it in Moscow? Let's call him right now!'"
"He cuts through the BS of some of these diplomatic protocols, and just says 'I'm gonna get things done. If I want to talk to somebody, I'm gonna talk to somebody.'"
"You had a lot of the Europeans who were saying, 'no, no, no, there needs to be proper vetting, and the teams have to prepare the phone call, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.' And the president was like, 'no, no, I want to talk to the guy. I'm going to talk to the guy.'"
That kind of style is EXACTLY what I voted for.
Insane story. Man manipulated a weather market using a hair dryer… this is going to become widespread. There are a hundred ways to force an outcome like this
@vtchakarova Needs perspective… 40+% of the TW market is TSMC alone. UK market is a mixed bag of foreign company listings, not representative of the UK or any country really
my life changed the moment an old mentor told me this:
“stopping your worst habit would change your life way faster than starting your best habit…
fix the leak before filling the bucket.”
Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace it as the cost of entry. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.
