Even if you don't have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want.

Someone will start with more money than you. Someone will get into a better school. Someone will inherit connections you need to build from scratch. Someone will get picked before you. In other words, you’ll have no problem finding people with a head start. That’s not the point. The point is: when you get your opportunity, you make the most of it.

The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused).

You can really carve out a very good career simply by being the most reliable person on the team. You may not think that always showing up on time, hitting each deadline, and responding quickly and professionally to all communication would be such a differentiator, but these traits are always in short supply. Low hanging fruits and easy win.

When you're on the field, play as if nothing else matters. When you're off the field, remember that the game doesn't matter at all.

The secret of creative work is to make a lot and publish a little. People underestimate the power of giving themselves the permission to create junk. Most of what you create will be mediocre or bad. But that's okay. You only have to show people the good stuff. Make 100 things, discard 90, and share the 10 best. Create, create, create. Edit, edit, edit. Share, share, share.

A great mistake in life comes from suffering for years because you didn't want to feel foolish for 5 minutes. You don't want to apologize, so you let a relationship deteriorate. You're scared of rejection, so you don't ask for what you want. You fear people will say your idea is dumb, so you never start the business. Nobody likes feeling foolish, but the feeling fades quickly. The willingness to endure 5 minutes of discomfort turns out to be a meaningful dividing line in life.

2 years, not 2 months. Give it time. The visible progress you're hoping for usually comes slower than you'd like. Even with consistent effort, it can take a long time before progress feels significant. It might be a year of writing and editing before the book really starts to come together. You may need two years of recovery from a major injury before you notice just how far you've come. It may take two years of practicing yoga before you realize how flexible you've become. Take a deep breath, stop worrying about immediate results, and settle into a nice routine.

@Grammarly should be disabled on X. I don't want to sound polished and professional. I want to sound myself with the errors. Grammarly is now suggesting edits in this post. 😂😂

Less is more and more is more. It's the middle that's not a good place.

The last unread email I have is from November 5, 2020. Email inboxes need a makeover. 😑

How to turn failure into a fun video game: Price in failure. ​ “I’m going to bomb 500 times before I become a good stand up comedian” “I’m going to fall of the surf board 100 times before I become competent” “I’m going to stall the car 50 times before I can drive.”

The current education system is so broken. Having random subjects with no interconnection, timeline, or narratives is awful for learning. True education connects subjects. Physics, maths, chemistry, biology, business, and geography should be learned through an interconnected timeline with practical implications.​ Education leads to innovation. Innovation then compounds to improve life for all human beings.

On Incentives: 33% of British criminals were dying en route to Australia in the 1700s. ​ Britain switched from paying sea captains for every passenger who boarded the ship to paying them for every passenger who disembarked. Immediately, the survival rate shot up to 99%. Show me the incentive and I will show you the result.

It is easier to grow on Reddit using replies as compared to X. Looking to have meaningful conversations - Use Reddit over X.

If you have 2 quality people who would benefit from an introduction to each other, always do it. Networks don't divide as you share them; they multiply.

Last year this time, I had made $0 online. Had no idea how to make money online. Then I made my 1st $$ in May 2024, and that got me motivated and going. If I can make $1, I can make $10. If I can make $10, I can make $100. If I can make $100, I can make $1000. In 2024, I ended up making $3,574 with almost no experience in making money online. I was only posting, creating, pushing content and guides, and consulting, which made me this money. Q1 of 2025 - Already past $10,000 in profits. My website is not fully ready; the designs are okay, and the content is improving, but I ended up making over $ 10K in Q1. You don't need to be ready. You only need to start. Compounding and Momentum are the two biggest enablers to achieving more.

If you're struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it. Turn a thought into a written idea, a written idea into a drawing, a drawing into an equation, or an equation into a conversation. By transforming it, you’ll start to spot new creative connections.

I have gradually learned that it is not your strengths, but your combination of strengths that sets you apart.

Physician and educator Maria Montessori on leading others: "The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist." But this holds true for leadership in general. Give people space and they flourish.
