As an intelligent person, you should maintain a strong bias for action and a knack for progress over perfection.

Here's a 45-second TL;DR on Jev.

I find the core idea beautifully simple, but the video made it really hard to understand.

Hope you find it helpful.

always express your discomfort to people you do not want to resent

[Lima @limalemonnn]

this is insane. i genuinely don't understand why ambitious people aren't shown this lecture before their careers start consuming their entire lives.

clayton christensen spent his career studying why successful companies collapse. in his final class, he asked students to apply the theory to themselves: if you keep allocating your time the same way, what life are you actually building?

he had already seen the answer in his own harvard mba class. everyone looked successful at the fifth reunion; by the 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th, many were unhappy, divorced, and living far from their children.

work shows you the score immediately. close a sale, ship a product, finish a presentation, earn a promotion, get paid.

an hour with your child may produce nothing you can measure today; it may take 20 years to understand what that hour built. so the next free hour goes back to work, one rational decision at a time.

this is how people build lives they never planned: through hundreds of right decisions that lead in the wrong direction, day after day.

money, titles, and headcount are easy to count. christensen believed a life should be measured by the people who became better because you were there.

he died in 2020.

one question remains: if someone saw only where your time, energy, and attention went this year, what would they think actually mattered to you?

the full 19-minute lecture is in the video below.

New beginnings!
New beginnings!

The days of pain are over
The days of darkness are over
New beginnings

the best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. go outside, try new cafes, museums, events, take a new route home, speak to people, ask questions, side quest. the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.

i often think about this…

[Babájídé @Babajiide]

"Your career is not just what you know or what you do — it's who knows you, and why they trust you."

Power is navigable — learn the map

Managing up is service, not politics

Credibility is built one delivery at a time

How you communicate shapes how you're perceived

Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember anti-intellectualism is on the rise, literacy is in decline, and I don’t want to be a VICTIM!

you are a product of your actions, not your aspirations

Simple analogy on living a life of purpose.
Were you blessed?

[PS @dostoevesque]

Luck is found in motion, not at home. When you look at it, luck is nothing but subjecting yourself to possibilities. The universe hates no one more than the man who is constantly preparing. That endless preparation is nothing but anxiety wearing the mask of productivity, a clever psychological trap that lets you fool yourself into believing you're being wise and responsible, when in reality you're hiding from the raw fear of stepping into new possibilities, fresh failures, and the unknown.

It becomes the sneakiest form of procrastination, letting you dodge the guilt of doing nothing at all while convincing yourself you're making progress.
And the worst part is that this so called comfort you are clinging to is not even real comfort. You can only truly know comfort if you are prepared to face discomfort. When you stay forever in that safe zone, you're never at peace with it. Deep down, a strange guilt keeps eating away at you, quietly ruining any chance of real enjoyment, and you end up just grazing the top grass, staring at life without ever fully diving in.

As Henry James put it in A Portrait of a Lady,

"The fact is I’ve been comfortable so many years that I suppose I’ve got so used to it I don’t know it." "Yes, that’s the bore of comfort."

That’s exactly why luck only favors those who choose motion over safety, the ones who finally stop preparing and start moving.

The Church is not quiet. While we prayed, danced and hoped, we equally took it to the street to voice out our frustration to the highest insecurity, injustice and corruption in our Nation.
