10 steps to stop being a loser, or worst yet, a mid! ๐
1. Donโt complain about successful people โ study them.
2. Focus on improving your skills
3. Write down your daily, weekly, quarterly, yearly, and decade-long goals.
4. Forgive yourself if you missed your targets in the past; hold yourself accountable for today.
5. Make one new successful, positive, thoughtful friend a month until you have 12 high-quality peers.
6. Invest in your relationship with them.
7. Get great sleep, eat well, lose weight if youโre fat, and get some exercise every day.
8. If you fuck up #7, forgive yourself and focus only on your performance today.
9. Take intelligent risks consistently and with intention.
10. Embrace and study your failures. Share them with your friends, and commiserate with each other over a great meal. Laugh about them, be self-deprecatingโฆ itโs only life!
@wintonARK Stunning that most people (and investors) like to outsource thinking to heavily flawed process-oriented third-parties. Same applies to credit ratings.
Take truth as authority not authority as truth!
@jgrahamc If the computer stuff is complicated for you @jgrahamc then what hope do the rest of us have! Can I ask what your top book recommendations are from your 30 years in the industry? Any recommendations from others on the thread also very welcome. Thanks
@jgrahamc โYes, I had help. Butโฆโ ๐ The average UK house price is ~ยฃ270 vs. average salary at ยฃ31k. To buy a property at 21 at 50% the average at 90% LTV youโd need a deposit of ยฃ13.5k. A Pret subscription + NFLX + PureGym = ~ยฃ40 pcm or ยฃ480 pa. Are coffee, movies and health the problem?
@eastdakota@Cloudflare Congrats to the whole CF team. Can I ask which of the remaining 13 categories CF are focused on taking a leadership position in over the near term? Assuming its way-way too early for R2 on the data centre side?
