“you’re only as good as you can communicate”

feels overlooked but yet it makes so much sense

if you’re unable to convey your ideas well, then no one will understand you anyway and deem you lower than your capabilities

probably a good aspect to work on given how so many people are terrible at expressing themselves/ideas

I can do it.
I deserve it.
I will get it.

1. Having the best stuff
2. Having the most money or success
3. Being famous
4. Being liked
5. Seeing the world
6. Doing things everyday
7. Being right

Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence

decision fatigue

great video

talks about how luck plays such a huge part of our lives and how a small increase in luck (even 1%) can largely change the outcome down the road

most that have achieved success tend to attribute it to themselves and overlook the luck aspect of things

always increase your luck surface area and if you have benefited, do it for others too

It’s easier to learn to avoid things that disturb your peace of mind than it is to force yourself to not get disturbed by them

wuwei 无为

Wu wei is a polymorphic, ancient Chinese concept expressing an ideal practice of "inaction", "inexertion" or "effortless action", as a state of personal harmony and free-flowing, spontaneous creative manifestation. 

i really like Naval’s point on how not all books are meant to be finished

once you’ve extracted the key ideas or what you’re interested in from the chapters, just move on to the next

i’ve always been stuck on the idea that i have to complete books to say “i’ve read it”, but it has only led to me stalling on dry books and just overall delaying progress

will practice more intentional reading by skipping to interesting chapters when needed instead of forcing myself to skim through dry content

aiming to clear more books this year (part of my NYR)

that said, just bought 3 more books for my shelves !

as long as the dice is still rolling, you will get your six. for now, we clap for others and show love.
