I don't give a fuck if you've lost every job and nobody likes you and you're 39. You're not even at halftime. You're just losing right now. You're not a loser.
Being mean is bad for your health.
A single hostile interaction:
+ locks you in a cortisol penalty box for 60-90 min
+ suppresses recovery capacity
+ elevates your heart rate
Kindness conserves your energy resources.
- You: "My stocks went up 10%."
- Government: "Congratulations! That's taxable."
- You: "But inflation was 8%. I only really gained 2%."
- Government: "We tax the full 10%."
- You: "You tax the inflation you created?"
- Government: "Capital gains are capital gains."
- You: "So you profit from debasing my money twice?"
- Government: "You're not an economist."
Kobe Bryant once said:
“Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition.
If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”
No matter how much I win in the world's eyes, I still feel the best when I win in my wife's eyes.
My day is never more "made" than when my wife says she thinks I'm awesome for helping her.
I think most guys just want the person we care about most to feel like we helped them.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
Walk more.
I’m not saying going for a walk will solve all your problems, I’m just saying there’s almost no problem that’s going to be made worse by going for a walk.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
Everyone wants to be asked out more.
2,315 people were asked “Do you wish people hit on you more or less?”
92% of men said they wish they were approached more.
There’s a moderate sex difference, but even among women, 69% wished they were hit on more.
Shoot your shot, folks. — @CostelloWilliam
