Money isn’t the goal, it’s a side effect of being good at something that society values.

Wisdom is just a lot of mistakes followed by a lot of self-reflection.

There is no revenge to take, just live the life you want, and do it for yourself.

Staying calm under pressure is the talent.

The quality of your focus is the quality of your life.

People won’t invest in you just because you claim you believe in yourself.

They will invest in you once they see results.

It’s not comfortable to hang out with more talented people, but that’s how you grow fastest.

Put your ego aside, learn from the best.

In search of ideas, go for a walk.

In search of clarity, write an essay.

In search of change, move abroad.

Own assets that go up in value, including your mind, or people will own your life.

People trust you once you have trustworthy vibes. Take care of yourself.

Beware of “friends” who spend their time hating everybody, you’re next.

If you can’t control your emotions, you will keep getting “unlucky.”

You want a calm mind, build a confident body first.

Don’t blindly follow your passion. Risks have to be calculated with a clear worst-case scenario. Be
smart, be pragmatic.

The faster you face the uncomfortable truth, the faster your growth can begin.

The best education system has already been invented, it’s called the Internet, you still have to do the
heavy lifting yourself.

Nearly no one cares about you unless you are rich, smart, talented, or good-looking.

Whether you like it or not, the world revolves around what sells. It’s all about money and power.

Throw away your ideals and pride, you will have to make short-term concessions and sacrifices.

Growing up in a loving family is an underrated lifelong advantage.

The most successful people are just smart people who are having fun with life.

Never invest in someone who isn’t investing in themselves.

Don’t assume you know better because you’re older. In a fast-moving society, experience isn’t always
an asset.

The best thing about financial freedom is the ability to significantly decrease your interactions with
people full of drama.

Don’t focus on building connections, become the person people want to connect with.

Maturity is also when you realize that no one has time to think about you.

Stop living in your mind.

A decade of trials and errors.

That’s the shortcut.

Start as soon as possible.

If your plan is “someone will come and save me,” you better start thinking of a real plan.

People suddenly dislike you once they realize they can’t manipulate you.

Society will admire you for being “different” once you are rich, until then you are just weird.

You attract your own kind whether you like it or not. Change yourself, change your friends.

People will take advantage of you as long as you let them. Draw clear boundaries.

Don’t aim to be rich, aim to be free, you will get both.

It’s no coincidence that people who spend their time criticizing others also achieve nothing.

Focus on yourself, you will get “lucky.”

Every time you feel like making fun of someone’s dream, ask yourself why you are still insecure.

Self-confident people help others instead.

You don’t like your salary, start your own company, you will get what you deserve.

Most people don’t listen to what you say, they only hear what they want to hear.

Don’t waste your time with people who don’t respect you, that’s basic self-respect.

People change. You change.

It’s ok to move on when the spark is gone.

Don’t talk about patience if you gave up after a year.

Patience means at least 5-10 years.

A sign of success:

Genuinely wishing the best for others.

Keep it short, people are busy.

The longer you keep compounding your good habits, the “luckier” you get in life.

If you can retain your humility whilst piling up achievements, you are unstoppable.

It’s not a lack of self-confidence,

it’s a lack of consistent hard work.

Choose to stay fit, not because people might judge you on your appearance,

but because life is much more fun when you have self-confidence in your own body.

One decision can change the course of your life, but only good habits will make it sustainably better.

Don’t force other people to learn it the hard way just because you did.

If you had access to the Internet in the past ten years, that was enough privilege to completely change
your life, the rest is just excuses.

The happiest people out there don’t have “real jobs.”

Never waste your time with someone committed to misunderstanding you.

You want to learn a topic in depth, teach.

Stop chasing people and money.

Start building yourself and value.

You start getting luckier the day you realize that no one is coming to save you.

No one will trust you as long as you lack emotional control. As it should be.

Don’t stay average just because that’s how you fit in.

Once you are wealthy, keep it quiet.

Overthink less, listen to your gut feeling more. You will avoid a lot of drama.

A common cause of stagnation is lack of self-belief.

Reality doesn’t care about what you want, it only cares about the amount of well-directed efforts you
put in.

The first thing you should do when you dislike someone for no reason, is to ask yourself if you aren’t
just jealous.

Expect little from people.

Expect a lot from yourself.

That’s the secret of a happy life.

The mass will bully you into mediocrity.

Stand strong. Keep your standards high.

Hating people who are doing better than you is a sign of current and future failure. Smart people learn
from others instead.

Life gets better once you react less.

The brain always works better after a good workout.

Stop pretending to be interested in what you actually don’t care about.

Be honest with yourself, you get the people you deserve, life will get better.

Being fit is another sign of self-respect.

No one cares about your “potential” once you are past your early twenties, people want results.

Pursue goals that go far beyond yourself and you will wake up excited and happy every day.

Don’t take it personally when someone disrespects you, that’s just the way they treat themselves too.

The art of getting luckier is the art of focusing more on your life.

Hang out with people who are genuinely happy for you when you succeed. They are rare.

The world is full of talented and smart people who never achieve anything.

They usually lack work ethic and consistency.

A sign of immaturity:

Getting rude as soon as you disagree.

A sign of a great relationship:

You feel energized after your conversations with them.

Shaming someone because they have different beliefs won’t change their mind.
Educate instead. With facts, not opinions.

You want a job you love, create it.

It takes maturity to acknowledge it and apologize when you’re wrong.

The most common cause of failure:

Being paralyzed by the fear of uncertainty,

and ending up doing nothing.

You either own assets,

or people own your time.

Just because many people have been lowering their standards doesn’t mean you should too.

You attract more opportunities once you are calm, because no one wants to deal with people who lack
emotional control.

Not being distracted is the talent.

It takes hard work to build a calm mind,

but then, life becomes much more fun.

Becoming who you thought you could never become, that’s also success.

People who are good at predicting their future are simply good at thinking in decades.

Not wasting time with people who don’t respect you is self-respect.

A great relationship requires two people who aren’t scared of being disliked by each other.

Most dramas stem from improper communication due to insecurities.

The simplest way to get rich is to help someone much more talented succeed,

but the average person wants to think they’re special too, and has too much ego to do that.

If it’s a great book, read it slowly.

Writing is the fastest way to highlight the flaws in your thinking.

The highest level of wealth:

Physical health + peace of mind + youth + money + privacy + love + freedom

A sign of maturity:
You stay respectful whether you like someone or not.

Surround yourself with people with high standards, and your life will naturally get better.

Care less to attract more.

Three life-changing sentences everyone should say more often:

1) “I don’t know.”

2) “I don’t care.”

3) “No.”

People suddenly treat you well once you have money and influence.

You almost have to pretend to live an average life if you want to reveal their true nature.

Most people don’t bother learning about their body until they have health issues, and that’s too late.

Be smart, avoid avoidable issues.

The secret to attract more success is to mind your own business.

Stop claiming you want to help people if you can’t even take care of yourself.

The most difficult part of becoming wealthy isn’t making money, it’s to unlearn the scarcity mindset.

Caring less is self-care.

It always looks so simple until you try to do it yourself.

Results are inevitable if you consistently keep the promises you make with yourself.

Never lower your standards to please anyone.

Reading a great book is also how you re-learn how to focus for a few hours on one single task.

Long-term thinkers always win if they are patient enough.

You either draw clear boundaries, or people will attempt to abuse your generosity.

If people keep calling you “lucky,” keep going, you are doing it right.

One book won’t change your life, the habit of reading will.

A great motivator for financial freedom: you will no longer have to deal with people full of drama.

Never assume someone wants to spend time with you just because you want to spend time with them.
Interesting people are usually busy.

Bring value on the table.

Stop assuming you understand anyone, you don’t even understand yourself.

The gym is actually for mental health.

Whenever you feel down, go for a walk.

You start attracting happy people once you are happy alone.

You don’t deserve more because you worked harder. Don’t expect society to be fair. Learn the rules,
and bend them.

You want to change your destiny,

change your habits.

The best relationships: two people who don’t need each other, but who want to spend time together.

What the average person sometimes considers “a waste of time” or “stupid” is what you need to do to
build a better life:

Reading, writing, exercising, teaching for free, ideas-driven conversations, traveling, plenty of sleep,
meditating, fasting, smiling more often.

You want to become more open-minded,

learn several foreign languages,

travel in a bunch of countries,

understand what it feels like to be part of a minority,

learn to listen more and judge less.

Live abroad, and you will finally notice your own narrow-mindedness.

Success is when you’ve found that one thing that makes you wake up every morning excited about the
day you are about to spend.

Fitness is 80% nutrition, 20% working out

Clarity is 80% thinking/writing, 20% reading

Growing is 80% self-discipline, 20% long-term vision

Investing is 50% good judgment, 50% being patient

Attracting opportunities is 0% luck, 100% putting yourself out there and taking risks

You start growing once you stop caring about looking cool and impressing others.

The universe will repeat the lessons until you learn.

Fix your anger issues and most of your relationship issues will naturally vanish.

Mental peace follows good physical shape.

It’s often not a lack of intelligence or talent, but a lack of emotional control.

People will call you names as soon as you don’t behave as they want.

Life’s short, ignore the noise.

Anxiety is a side effect of an overstimulated mind.

Learning to do nothing is essential in order to find peace of mind.

Never apologize for sticking to high standards.

Most dramas disappear once you hang out with smarter, more thoughtful people.

Success is also a measure of how much time you spend at peace with yourself.

You attract the spouse you deserve,

but many unfortunately fail to look at themselves objectively.

Apparently, if you have money but don’t help people, you are selfish,

but if you have money and help people, it’s either not enough, or you just care about “feeling
superior.”

Some people will complain whatever you do, so just do you.

Don’t be so well “educated” that you lost your basic common sense.

Everyone is curious about you,

but few genuinely care.

Intermittent periods of idleness nurture your creativity. Don’t be busy all the time.

All your relationships get better the day you have the intelligence to question yourself instead of
others.

Take more risks, live a more interesting life, you will naturally attract more interesting people.
Most hate is actually just jealousy.

Ignore and keep going.

You will always feel like there is too much to do and not enough time.

Relax. Enjoy what you are doing.

Put in a bit more work every day.

Believe in your own growth.

Be serious, but don’t take yourself too seriously.

Life rewards those who stick around for long enough.

Writing every day for several years is the secret behind clarity and eloquence.

Sometimes, someone decides to dislike you, and everything you say becomes ill-intentioned, and that’s
not your problem.

Seek to simplify your life, luck will find you.

Difficult books make you feel like you’re stupid, but you actually get smarter.

It takes maturity to openly admit that you don’t understand something.

No one is ignoring you.

Everyone is moving on.

As you should.

If it won’t improve your life, avoid. That’s it.

You’d be surprised with how many opportunities you attract by just smiling more genuinely and more
often.

Lack of growth is lack of the courage to push your limits and fail.

Most dramas are avoidable.

You just need to learn how to not react.

You create your habits, they create your future.

Don’t lower your standards just because you’re making some people feel uncomfortable.

It takes intelligence to not have an opinion about everything.

It takes a lot of efforts to make it seem effortless.

The more you mind your own business,

the luckier in life you get.

The less you judge others,

the less you will feel like everyone is judging you.

Smart people always seem playful because that’s all they’re doing indeed, playing.

People who make fun of other people’s mistakes subconsciously think that the whole world is
monitoring their blunders too,

they become scared of “failing” and being laughed at,

they become scared of taking risks,

they end up achieving nothing.

You only realize how insignificant most of your worries are once you have health issues.

Most people have no money when they start investing, the secret is called getting a job and saving.

People will help you if they like you, it’s that simple.

A quick way to silence your mind is to work out harder.

People don’t dislike you for a few words you mistakenly said,

they secretly disliked you from long ago, and finally found a convenient pretext.

You improve your luck by improving your work ethic.

Be your worst critic, and no one can hurt you.

You never really feel ready,

you just jump, and you learn on the go.

You think you are different until you write online, and realize there are tons of other people who can
relate.

Learning is much more fun when there’s no exam at the end.

@pankajgayki7 Experience.

You want to get luckier, overthink less, act more.

There are way too many unconfident, but talented young people who give up before even trying.
It’s okay to be “realistic,” but at least for once in your life, it’s wise to be “foolish” and give it your all,
and make sure you have no regret.

Your future self will thank you.

Anxiety disappears once you’ve figured out a meaningful way to express yourself.

Catch yourself whenever you are about to criticize someone, and ask yourself what you are secretly
jealous about.

People will say they are disappointed if you are not becoming who they want you to become. That’s
not your problem.

Being kind and letting people take advantage of you are two different things.

Rejection is mother of drive.

No one can help you if you don’t believe in your own growth.

Give up on trying to change people, you can only inspire them to strive for better through your own
change.

Laziness is mostly a habit.

Getting started every day is another one.

You choose your habits,

and they determine the kind of life you get.

It takes self-confidence to not take yourself too seriously.

The secret to marry a thoughtful, attractive, smart person, is to become one first.

You are the only person who remembers your embarrassing moments, no one else cares.

Success is when you earn the lifestyle you want by doing what you enjoy.

People who lack emotional control never achieve much,

because they only need one bad day to potentially ruin years of efforts.

Loneliness is lack of self-focus.

The secret is to start when you don’t feel like it.

The wealth you seek is called freedom.

You will never grow if you are scared of walking alone.

Self-respect starts with being hard-working.

Being rude is like screaming to the whole world that you are unhappy.

Bad days are not a good excuse to interrupt your good habits.

Self-belief is the talent.

Question yourself, but don’t doubt.

If you’ve never been rejected, you aren’t trying hard enough.

If your conversations don’t fill you up with positive energy, you are around the wrong people.

The more self-confident you get,

the less often you take offense.

Keep it quiet once you are wealthy, you are not attracting friends, only opportunists.

It’s not brain fog, it’s decades of bad habits.

Stop hanging out with people who are scared of seeing you grow.

Funny how people who think it’s too late to start at 30 were thinking the same at 20,

and how they will keep thinking the same at 40, 50, and beyond.

Travel more.

You will realize that the world is full of thoughtful and kind people,

and you will no longer waste any time with rude and self-centered people.

The people you choose to hang out with determine your future.

Everyone becomes a philosopher once they are financially free. You naturally think more clearly when
you are not busy.

Not cutting off people who disrespect you is a sign of low self-esteem.

Choose to deserve better people.

No one can hurt you with words if you have full control over your own mind.

People look down on you when you feel insecure.

People admire you when you feel self-confident.

It’s actually all in your mind.

You shape your reality.

You will naturally attract more interesting people once you have more ambitious goals.

The whole world looks brighter,

and everyone looks happier,

after you’ve worked out.

You don’t deserve anything just for existing, everything is earned.

Most online anger would disappear if people just hit the gym more often.

People who dislike you always find a way to twist what you say.

Don’t waste your time convincing them.

Wealth is when you stop worrying about money.

Overthinking is a symptom of excessive mental stimulation.

Learn to do less, and be more present,

you will naturally build a calmer mind.

You look back on what you said or did ten years ago, and you cringe.

Ten years from now, you will look back on today, and cringe again.

That’s normal. That’s called growing.

Don’t act stupidly just because you feel lonely, anxious, or tired.

If you are never lucky, question your process, not your luck.

Most people think they lack talent or intelligence. They actually lack courage.

The secret of healthier relationships:

Two people who respect and listen to each other instead of living in their own mind and making
assumptions.

You start being a good person the day you stop pretending to be one.

It takes intelligence to not be constantly offended.

No one cares about you if you have nothing to offer, as it should be.

“Talent” = daily efforts + decades of patience

Don’t go around claiming it’s impossible just because you can’t do it.

Stop waiting for someone to come and save you, and you will start attracting more opportunities.

No one is looking down on you, just fix your self-confidence issues.

Don’t seek clarity of mind,

seek consistency of good habits.

Expect little from others.

Have high standards for yourself.

That’s the secret of a happier life.

Become a bridge between people who can build value together.

There is no glory in playing games you cannot win. Focus on your strengths.

Write to understand where you disagree with yourself.

You are rich when you don’t need to work for anyone.

A sign of intelligence: solving your problems before they compound.

People will naturally help you when they see that you are doing your best for your family.

The best thing about hanging out with self-confident people:

They don’t take things personally,

they don’t constantly get offended.

There are a bunch of smart people who never achieve anything because they think too much and don’t
act enough.

Don’t waste your time explaining yourself, people speak the language of results.

If you are lazy, take risks and work hard for a decade to get financially free, then spend the rest of your
life leisurely.

Everyone has 24 hours a day:

success is mostly about smart time management and knowing your strengths.
Life gets significantly better once you stay away from people who constantly complain.

Trust is earned with results, not words.

You are rich if you have time to leisurely read books without any specific purpose in mind.

You will never start anything if you always wait until you feel fully ready.

You can understand at which stage of life someone is by listening to them talk about their parents.

Blaming is simple, understanding is hard.

You are boring if you never change,

but unreliable if you always change.

You are lazy if you never work out,

but narcissistic if you always work out.

You are depressing if you never smile,

but annoying if you are always happy.

Just be you. You get who you deserve.

People want early financial freedom but they also call you irresponsible for making risky investments.

Relationships don’t last without common goals.

The longer you keep up your good habits,

the more luck you attract.

You don’t need more than a few months to get in good physical shape,

but you do need at least a few years to get in good mental shape.

Lack of clarity is mostly lack of patience.

The best relationships are born from overcoming hardships together.

You are responsible for your own happiness, stop blaming others.

Conversations with hundreds of people from all cultures and backgrounds are the most fun part of
education.

It takes years to start getting results, but then they all come at once. Life isn’t linear.

Life only gets better if you are truly thinking and acting long-term.
Success attracts success because people trust you more when you don’t need anything from them.

You will get what you want once you’ve become someone who deserves it.

Pushing yourself a bit more every day for many years. That’s it. That’s growth.

You no longer feel the need to make fun of anyone once you are truly self-confident and happy.

You grow faster once you get rid of your pride, stop being scared of looking stupid, make more
mistakes and learn.

If you never get rejected,

challenge yourself more.

The most important part of solving a difficult problem is to stay calm.

Once you are consistently lucky, that’s called talent.

No one is going to hold your hand and tell you exactly what to do.

Don’t blame others for the opportunities you didn’t catch.

A good workout, and your day gets brighter.

You don’t deserve more just because you chose to do it the hard way.

Hate online is just lack of love in real life.

RT @TinkeredThinker : Construct a mind that is impossible to offend.

If you have time to regret past decisions,

you have time to work on a more ambitious future.

Use your imagination to build and create, not to worry.

You won’t grow if you are scared of leaving your old self behind.

A common mistake: assuming you know better because you are older.

No one cares about what you have to say until you get impactful results.

Stop expecting people to read your mind, everyone is busy, just make yourself clear.

Many mental health issues disappear once you eat and exercise more properly.

Hating everything and complaining all the time. Both are signs of personal failure.

It takes self-confidence to genuinely compliment other people.

Long-term success requires consistency of results, and it’s impossible to achieve without proper
emotional control.
The less you have achieved,

the more you judge.

Most people don’t lack talent, they lack commitment.

You can’t change people,

but you can change the people you have around, by changing yourself.

Becoming more open-minded is simple.

Go live abroad.

In a country with an entirely different culture and language.

Reach native fluency.

Build long-term relationships with people who see the world differently.

You will reset your whole conditioning.

Don’t worry if you can fix it.

Don’t worry if you can’t fix it.

People change.

Stop clinging to your past image of them.

If someone you like doesn’t like you back,

forget about what you’ve learned in movies,

read between the lines, respect their choice, and give up.

That kind of persistence is not attractive.

Don’t chase, attract.

Better be rejected for who you are than liked for who you are not.

Most people don’t struggle to reach their goal, they struggle to understand what their goal is.

Learn to relax, you will learn faster.

You’ve made it once everyone starts calling you lucky.

There are two types of people,

those who complain and give up because it’s hard,

and those who get excited and do it precisely because it’s hard.

Wealth = meaningful relationships + health + purpose + freedom + peace of mind

Everyone suddenly wants to help you once you are already successful.

Healthy relationships all boil down to one principle: respect people’s time.

Fear of rejection disappears once you realize most people barely remember you.

All your relationships improve once you are no longer scared of being disliked.

Simply raise the standards of your habits, you will change the quality of your life.

Life rewards risk-takers, not complainers.

Question yourself every time life feels too comfortable. You might be stagnating.

Good health is simple.

Learn to relax.

Walk every day.

Laugh every day.

Occasionally fast.

Have meaningful goals.

Be around people you love.

A great sense of humor alone opens up many opportunities.

You naturally help other people once you are self-confident, because you understand there is no
competition.

You will naturally attract more interesting people once you show more ambition.

If it brings peace of mind,

it’s time well spent.

It’s impossible to build healthy relationships as long as you don’t know how to be happy alone.

Save your family before thinking about saving the world.

Life becomes more fun after you’ve learned how to manage your anxiety and stay calm.
An Internet connection + being able to read English + investing a few hundreds of dollars + good
judgment + patience.

These were sufficient to reach financial freedom throughout the past ten years.

Wealth is also when you no longer have to do things you don’t want to do.

A lot of drama could be avoided if more people just learned how to not react.

The simplest way to get a job you love is to create it for yourself.

People love to call scam what they don’t understand.

Long-lasting relationships require two people who never stop renewing themselves.

You always feel great after a few hours of focused, productive work.

You want to stop feeling judged,

stop judging.

Some people pretend to be rich and successful to build connections.

Rich and successful people pretend to be average to build meaningful connections.

Anyone can criticize,

few can come up with solutions.

Life gets so much simpler once you stay away from manipulative people who love mind games.

A sign of happiness:

You are rooting for the success of others.

Write every day.

Read again in five years.

Surprise yourself with your growth.

You don’t understand the importance of good health until you wake up sick.

Proper diet, proper workout, proper sleep, proper education, aren’t everything.

People underestimate the impact of meaningful relationships when it comes to mental health.

You will never regret spending more time with people you love.

Success is when you control your time.

Don’t focus on winning against others,

focus on competing with the best version of yourself.

Every single successful person will tell you to go for it, because they all know you don’t know until you
try.

People won’t respect you more because you give away your time for free, quite the opposite.

To keep winning is to stay humble.

The best conversations happen when both people talk about what they’re passionate about.

People who take everything personally don’t grow.

A great friendship:

Two people who inspire each other to become the best version of themselves.

Boredom is impossible if you are playing life at the right difficulty level.

Motivation naturally comes after you clarify what you want to do.

Many people settle for someone they don’t even love, that’s disrespectful for both sides.

The only person you should strive to not disappoint is yourself.

People are much more likely to trust you when they feel you don’t need them. Self-confidence attracts
opportunities.

Success begins where envy ends.

Luck is attracted to ambitious people.

Good habits are how you make your bad days less bad.

People have time for you once you have something valuable for them.

If you don’t invest,

you don’t want financial freedom.

If you don’t work out and eat well,

you don’t want good health.

If you don’t spend time with your family,

you don’t really love them.

If you don’t learn every day,

you don’t want to stay successful.
Watch your actions.

Walk to relax the mind.

Read to feed the mind.

Write to clarify the mind.

Lift to strengthen the mind.

Love to give purpose to the mind.

It’s funny how people tend to respect less the people closest to them, when they should precisely do
the opposite.

If you don’t know, just say so, insecure people might mock you, but mature people will respect you.

Needy vibes don’t attract. Calm vibes do.

Stop assuming you know better than whoever you are talking to, all your relationships will naturally
improve.

You’d be surprised by how much help you can attract just by being a decent person.

Interesting people are just people who focus on their own life.

There will always be someone richer, smarter, cuter, stronger, freer, more influential than you.

Self-confidence isn’t about being “the best.”

It’s about closing the gap between who you are and who you could be if you put in the effort.

Just because you feel some sort of connection with someone doesn’t mean they feel the same.

Anxiety is the gap between who you are and who you think you should be.

Being rude is a common sign of unhappiness.

The less you want, the freer you can be.

Whatever your goals are, you are more likely to succeed if you are supported by a loving family.

No one has time to guess what’s going on in your mind.

Don’t expect people to adjust to your ideals and expectations.

Either be clear about what you want, or don’t be surprised if people cut you off.

You will attract a great spouse once you are in a happy relationship with yourself. Vibes don’t lie.
Remember the people who helped you when everyone else pretended you didn’t exist?

You owe them.

Pay back your debts before you start thinking about saving the world.

You can never go back to a “normal” life once you’ve tasted financial freedom.

You should be too busy living the life you want to yell online at strangers you will never meet.

You are happiest when you feel useful.

Success = long-term vision + patience + good judgment + faith

Everyone wants financial freedom,

few want to increase their risk tolerance.

Don’t become an opportunity-chasing slave. Become someone who attracts them.

The most common regret is lack of courage.

The best friendships involve two people walking towards the same vision through independent paths.

Society is shaped by people who are never satisfied.

The day you start taking something for granted is the day you start losing it.

Learning what you want and growing at your own pace is one of the highest privileges.

If you refuse to take risks, don’t expect those who do to share the rewards.

In doubt, choose to challenge yourself.

From experience, if you don’t know where to begin, start figuring out how to help your family, you will
suddenly attract luck.

It’s healthy to step back once in a while, and re-think what you want to do with your life.

People who only want to hear comfortable words don’t grow.

People who won’t stick to a routine because it’s “boring” never achieve much.

You want excellence, master the basics.

You want people to believe in you,

just show results.

The best conversations involve two relaxed people who are having fun at listening to each other.

You learn fastest when you have peace of mind,

and you have peace of mind when you are surrounded by people who can take care of themselves.

Solve your own problems before you start judging others.

Whenever you feel the urge of criticizing someone else’s life, that’s the signal.

You are not focused on your own.

When you are strong, people call you insensitive.

When you are fit, people call you narcissistic.

When you are rich, people call you greedy.

When you are smart, people call you arrogant.

When you are happy, people call you stupid.

Let them do. Just be you. Keep moving.

You want to make a gift to your future self, increase your standards.

The secret to attract more is to need less.

People build this image of you in their mind and get offended when you differ from it.

Age doesn’t make you wiser,

a wide range of experiences does.

Don’t complain about the rules, either become a better player, or switch to another game.

Step 1: Invest in your character, become someone you would like to hang out with

Step 2: Secure your finances, learn to invest, learn valuable skills, build long-term

Step 3: Pay back debts, appreciate time with people you love, don’t screw up

Step 4: Help people, have fun

Assume everyone is busy, be clear, be direct, don’t waste their time.

The first thing you should do once you’ve made it: help people who helped you succeed when you had
nothing.

Most people expect too much from others and not enough from themselves.

You can’t teach someone who is convinced they are smarter than you.
Do it because you want to do it, not because you want to show anybody.

Learning is fun.
Traveling is fun.
Investing is fun.
Working out is fun.
Writing a book is fun.
Starting a business is fun.
Hanging out with family and friends is fun.
Learning from people from all around the world is fun.

Just have fun. Life will naturally get better.

You don’t want money to buy stuff you don’t need in order to impress people who don’t even care
about you,

you want money to buy the freedom to spend each day doing what you love surrounded by people you
love.

You don’t deserve more just because you have a difficult past.

You cannot control the labels people put on you, but you can certainly control your reaction.

People who are scared of being disliked are easily manipulated.

Stop being scared of saying no.

Hard work doesn’t guarantee talent,

but hard work always precedes talent.

Talking too much is never attractive.

You give yourself a meaningful goal.

You work hard every day to get closer.

That’s it. That’s a happy life.

Good vibes + honesty > sounding smart

Spend less time telling what you’re gonna do, spend more time doing it.

You want something from someone, make it clear right from the beginning, don’t waste their time with
mind games.

The more you challenge yourself every day, the better you feel.

Difficult to truly think independently as long as you aren’t financially free.

You get luckier once you stop waiting for someone to come and save you.

You can’t grow if you are too proud to make mistakes.

You want wealth, take risks

You want strength, lift
You want love, love
You want trust, open up
You want knowledge, read
You want clarity, write
You want peace, walk
You want growth, act
You want youth, fast
You want talent, work smarter
You want something, pay the price

Don’t expect growth without pain.

Don’t expect love without commitment.

Don’t expect trust without opening up.

Don’t expect wealth without vision.

Don’t expect luck without good vibes.

Don’t expect success without sacrifices.

Don’t expect anything without efforts.

No, it’s not too late to start, you are not that important, don’t take yourself so seriously. You want to
try something new, do it.

You naturally get luckier once you care more about other people.

A plan is useless if you become emotional the very moment you need to stick to it.

In many situations, the smartest thing to do is to not react.

Relax, most people will barely remember you, let alone your mistakes.

You will never get smarter if you are scared of looking stupid. Try, fail, learn.

Bad days are inevitable.

Bad habits are not.

If you care about a friendship,

don’t involve money.

If you truly want it, you will find a way.

My definition of success:

You are self-confident and calm.

You spend your time doing what you love.

You are surrounded by people you love.

You are in a position to help others.

You live the life you want.

The only people who are genuinely happy when you succeed:

your parents, or self-confident people who already have everything they want.

The others usually want something from you.

You can start investing with just a few hundreds of dollars.

You can start studying with just a few hours of free time.

You can start reading with just a few second-hand books.

You can start creating with just a few ideas.

The important part is to start.

Stop blaming others for how you feel.

The only person who will pay you to do what you love on your own terms is you.

Fail early, fail often, win in the end.

Forget about saving the world if you can’t even take care of your health.

Stay humble, assume you might be wrong, you will thank yourself in the future.

The right person automatically shows up once you became the right person.

Focus on yourself, everything follows.

Daily long walks are truly life-changing.

Lucky people are happy.

Happy people get lucky.

All your other problems “disappear” when you have health issues.

If you try to force a relationship, it’s already over.

People don’t even understand themselves, but somehow assume they understand you.

People respect you once you respect your time.

To overthink less, write more.

The faster you got it, the faster you’ll lose it. Sustainable wealth takes time.

The common point between all the happiest people I know: they’re physically active.

You get paid for your good judgment more than for your hard work.

You won’t be happier once you’ve reached all your goals, so relax, take it slow, enjoy the process.

The quality of your life follows the standards of your relationships.

Wisdom is about knowing the worth of what you have when you still have it.

Great friendship:

Two people who don’t need each other, but who consistently learn from each other.

In doubt, pay attention to those who aren’t trying to sell you anything, who don’t need your money,
who don’t care about you being convinced.

People will abuse your kindness if you don’t learn how to say no.

You are not wiser just because you’re older.

If you have time to complain,

you have time to get better.

You only need self-discipline in the beginning, then it just becomes effortless, good habits.

It’s impossible to grow if you keep taking things personally.

Seek truth in discomfort.

Most people expect too much from others and not enough from themselves.

Growth is the art of becoming someone you love.

Life gets better for people who believe it will. Because they make the effort to make it happen.
Only blame yourself if you didn’t invest ten years ago. Fortunately, you get a second chance today, you
can thank yourself in ten years.

Don’t expect anyone to make efforts for you if you don’t make any effort for yourself.

Hard work always attracts opportunities.

In doubt, stick to the long-term strategy.

The more self-reliant and independent both sides are, the better the relationship.

No one ever got wealthy with weak hands.

The less you rely on luck,

the luckier you get.

The people who are genuinely happy for you when you succeed are very few.

If you need to make an important decision but feel emotional, wait till the next day.

Working out every day is the magic pill.

It brightens your mood.

It makes you feel alive.

It clarifies your mind.

It prevents health issues.

It nurtures your good vibes.

More successful people simply made more mistakes than you’ve made attempts.

Investing is simple.

Bull market: Take profits. Enjoy life.

Bear market: Enjoy life.

The older you get, the less people care about your potential, the more they only care about results.

Hang out with smarter people, they don’t take things personally, there’s less drama.

Life ends once you fall in love with comfort.

The more you learn, the less you fear.

Invest in people who are quietly working hard.

Everyone wants financial freedom,

few have the courage to buy when there’s blood in the streets.

True wealth is measured in meaningful relationships with people you love.

You will struggle to grow as long as you can’t handle time alone.

There’s no shortcut to experience.

The faster you start failing,

the faster you will get on the right track.

If you’ve never been rejected,

you’ve never tried hard enough.

Once your body is used to working out every day, it’s actually more tiring not to.

If you’ve never committed to anything for at least one decade, you don’t know whether you have any
talent.

Potential takes time to flourish, and results don’t come linearly.

Stop taking yourself so seriously.

In the grand scheme of things,

nothing really matters.

Just learn to appreciate the ride.

You become luckier the day you stop thinking of yourself as a good person, and become one instead.

Avoid giving financial advice: if it works out, they congratulate themselves, if it doesn’t, they blame
you.

People don’t care about what you have to say until you get results. As it should be.

The way you treat others is the way you treat yourself internally.

You’ve never heard of most of the happiest people out there, and never will, because they’re smart
enough to treasure their privacy.

The most valuable personal assets are health and peace of mind.

Reading books compounds in invisible ways. Once you take notice, your life has already changed.

Everything is only obvious in retrospect.

Don’t blame yourself too much.

Learn and do better next time.

Light attracts bugs.

Success attracts haters.

That’s okay. Keep shining.

Some people are stuck in the past, and refuse to learn.

Leave them behind and move on.

As you get smarter, you stop having an opinion about everything.

Relax, you won’t get along with everyone.

The day you realize life never happens exactly according to plan, you overthink less, you trust your
intuition more.

Writers are just people who chose to type down their loud inner voice.

Staying calm under pressure is an overlooked skill.

Keep challenging yourself every day.

That’s how you feel alive.

That’s how you find peace.

It doesn’t matter how much time you think you’ve “wasted,”

in a relationship,
in a professional activity,
in an entrepreneurial journey,

as long as you are alive, you can rebuild.

A job is meaningful when you help people and see the change in their lives.

Great conversations only require two people who care more about listening than talking.

You are already living the life you want if you started ten years ago.

You can still live the life you want ten years from now if you start today.
Success is mostly vision + commitment.

Making money teaches you what you truly want to do.

Losing money teaches you what truly matters.

Financial freedom starts once you stop being scared of losing money.

Take risks intelligently.

Invest until you win.

Live a great life during the process.

You grow faster once you stop taking yourself too seriously.

If you get offended easily, you will end up surrounded by liars.

If your friends don’t encourage you to strive for a meaningful life, get better friends.

You are rich if you can quit your job anytime.

You are wealthy if you can find peace anytime.

Short-term speculators keep getting flushed.

Long-term thinkers keep getting rewarded.

Some things never change.

There is no growth without a bit of discomfort.

A walk every day keeps the body relaxed, the mind clear, the soul at peace.

You want to be judged exclusively on your ideas, stay anonymous, keep your life private.

Don’t seek to be popular.

Seek to be yourself.

Success is simple.

You take all the energy you used to spend on criticizing others.

You spend it all on improving yourself and creating value for others.

Happy people attract good luck.

Fasting is free.
Smiling is free.
Writing is free.
Reading is free.
Exercising is free.
Meditating is free.
Being grateful is free.
Going for a walk is free.
Breathing properly is free.
Showing compassion is free.
Spending time with people you love is free.

RT @theramopt : Uncomfortable truth:

Your struggles will be admired only after you become successful.

Life gets harder and harder for people who refuse to learn.

You will understand what you truly want after you got everything you thought you wanted.

Results don’t come linearly.

You can make tons of efforts for years with little to show for,

and suddenly get rewarded all at once within a few months.

That’s what patience is about.

When you watch a foreign movie after learning the language, it’s a whole new movie.

When you read a book after experiencing more of life, it’s a whole new book.

When you start spending your days with more gratitude and love, it’s a whole new life.

If you are surrounded by people you love who love you, you are wealthy.

You get better results once you learn to be calm and detached.

The best time to start is when you don’t need to.

You can’t help someone who gave up.

People love to judge what they don’t understand.

Intellect without character won’t take you far.

Never idolize anyone.

Everyone is human.
Everyone is flawed.

You will end up disappointed.

Maturity is when you don’t even remember the last time you felt “embarrassed.”

Because you understand no one cares.

You don’t deserve more just because you had a more difficult past.

Stop self-victimizing, start taking responsibility.

The smarter you get,

the less you take yourself seriously.

Life doesn’t reward intention,

it rewards risk-taking and initiative.

If you happily walk alone, soon enough, you will be accompanied.

Growth is the art of refusing comfort.

Stop expecting people to read your mind. All your relationships will suddenly improve.

The best relationships involve two people who know how to be happy alone.

The less you care, the more you attract.

It takes intelligence to not take things personally.

You are most attractive when you are having fun with life.

Underrated privilege:

You were already very lucky if you were born in an English-speaking country.

Never force a relationship.

It’s either effortless or it won’t last anyway.

Always give back more than you took.

That’s how you find peace.

What’s done is done.

Learn from it, but don’t look back.

The best time to invest is when people are still making fun of it.
There’s a big difference between being patient and passively waiting.

You are neither smarter nor wiser just because you are older.

If you aren’t ready to take some risks,

you aren’t ready for financial freedom.

You will struggle to be happy if you take life too seriously.

If success takes a decade,

you mostly get rewarded during the 9th and 10th years.

Growth is the reward for those who choose to do things because they are hard.

Working out every day is no big deal when you respect yourself.

The best thing you can do for people who believe in you is to get results.

Hating is confessing personal failure.

If it costs you health, it’s not worth it.

You suddenly attract luck once you feel happy.

To be loved, love.

To be calm, trust.

To be happy, help.

Introverts don’t need to self-reflect more, they need to act more.

Your habits predict your future.

You attract better people once you have better thoughts.

You learn more in one year of entrepreneurship than in five years of a comfortable job.

You shouldn’t be risk-averse in your twenties. That’s the best time to fail and learn.

Instagram: where average people pretend to be millionaires.

Twitter: where millionaires pretend to be average people.

Self-esteem is the reward for hard work.

People understand what they want to hear, not what you mean.

You only feel attacked when it’s true.

It’s possible to have fun in your twenties and simultaneously invest wisely for the rest of your life.
Stop blaming others for the decisions you’ve made.

You won’t be attractive as long as you don’t have a clear purpose and visible results.

Pride slows you down.

Make mistakes like no one is watching.

You start thinking more clearly the day you realize no one owes you anything.

How to get healthier relationships:

- focus on giving, not on taking

- focus on what they did for you, not on what they didn’t do
- never feel entitled, be grateful
- listen to understand, not to judge
- you don’t know what someone is going through and not talking about, be kind

You save a lot of time once you hang out with smarter people.

Less conflict, less unnecessary drama.

You no longer have time to worry once you are busy taking action.

There’s no winner in most conflicts, just two people who waste their time.

Life will get messy regardless of how much you plan ahead, so stop overthinking.

The fastest way to get people to believe in you is to show results.

Don’t expect people to wait for you if you refuse to move on and grow.

A sign of intelligence:

You never feel attacked by general criticism.

The weak attack others on their weaknesses.

The strong teach others how to get stronger.

Save yourself before you start thinking about saving the world.

The best thing you can buy with money is freedom.

Once you have money, you better keep a low profile if you don’t want to become everyone’s bank.

Don’t become an entrepreneur if you can’t handle standing alone.

The smarter you get,

the more you appreciate time alone and silence.

You grow faster once you are no longer scared of changing your habits.

Relationships are most sustainable when they involve people who don’t need each other to be happy.

Everything looks so simple when you are just a spectator.

Friends are people you can talk to without feeling judged.

A sign of success: good vibes.

You want it, pay the price.

Maturity is when you stop blaming.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you to make the effort to be better.

If you didn’t earn it, you won’t keep it.

You naturally learn faster once you enjoy teaching others.

The magic pill is called better habits, better diet, better relationships.

It’s funny to see more and more people in their twenties wondering if it’s too late to start anything.

Even at eighty, it wouldn’t be too late.

You don’t need to be a genius and revolutionize society,

you just need to enjoy the way you spend your days.

Just start.

Funny how you are most likely to be depressed when you either have nothing you want or everything
you want.

I’ve always found people who value their family more trustworthy.

You don’t have time to plot against others when you are busy taking care of the people you love.

Most people underestimate how much they can learn from their parents.

It takes humility and intelligence to understand another perspective.

Success is when you wake up every day full of energy because you love what you do.

Learn to be less reactive.

You suddenly avoid tons of drama.

If you have too much in your mind, write.

Relax, no one is thinking about you.

Funny how the more you focus on your life, the luckier you get.

People were too scared of taking risks when you did, then feel entitled to your rewards.

Before your success, keep a low profile, don’t go around telling everyone about your plans.

After your success, keep a low profile, not everyone is happy for you.

Keep a low profile either way.

The less you take things personally,

the faster you grow.

The day you realize life doesn’t happen according to plan, you stop overthinking the details.

To change your reality,

change how you think.

Wealth is less about working hard and more about compounding right decisions.

“Everyone else is doing it” is a terrible reason for starting something.

A happy relationship requires two people who are in a happy relationship with themselves.

People rarely appreciate what they get for free.

Money brings more self-confidence but only if you earned it.

No one cares about how lazy you are if you get results at the end of the day.

Being a nice guy and being a good person are two different things.

The less you take things personally,

the better life becomes.

Everyone suddenly loves you once you are rich and influential.

Your true friends are those who helped you succeed when you had nothing.

Everyone is doing “the right thing” from their point of view.

You can learn a lot about someone just by listening to how they talk about their parents.

The only person you don’t want to disappoint is yourself.

Retirement isn’t about doing nothing,

it’s about no longer having to do what you dislike.

Reading gives you direction.

Writing gives you clarity.

Teaching gives you understanding.

Loving gives you meaning.

The fastest way to get what you want is to pay the price.

The country where you were born shouldn’t define the opportunities you have access to.

The best mentors won’t solve your problems for you,

they will only help you figure things out by yourself, just like they did.

You don’t need to live up to any reputation.

People’s expectations are none of your concerns.

It’s okay to change and renew yourself.

If you can’t help, at least don’t discourage.

Trust results, not promises.

Ironic that the less you care about something, the more of it you get.

You want healthier relationships,

start taking better care of yourself.

No one cares if you took ten years to create something no one needs.

No one cares if you took one month to create something everyone wants.

At the end of the day, it’s about the value you create for people.

An underrated asset that compounds tremendously over the decades:

Your integrity.

Good habits are self-love.

The problem when you are too humble:

some people really start thinking you were just lucky.

Better try something and be wrong than spend years overthinking and doing nothing.

Don’t let people who disrespect you live rent-free in your head.

The more problems you solve for others,

the luckier you get.

Never forget the people who helped you get where you are. Pay back your debts first.

Self-doubt never stops, you just learn to not let it stop you.

You don’t have time to hate once you’ve found a meaningful purpose.

You don’t deserve more just because you worked harder.

You get rewarded when you work hard in the right direction.

Invest in people who respect themselves.

Wealth is health, family, purpose, freedom.

Excessive comfort will make you physically weak, mentally insecure, and spiritually empty.

It’s okay to not finish the books you don’t enjoy.

As long as you don’t love yourself, you will struggle with all your relationships.

People tend to overestimate what they deserve, and underestimate the amount of efforts required to
get there.

A mindset that opens up opportunities:

“Don’t overthink and go for it.”

To live happily, keep your life private.

The fastest way to get your dream job is to create it yourself.

Free time without meaningful relationships isn’t wealth.

You will never feel like working for someone else again once you’ve experienced financial freedom
once.

It’s actually more tiring to not work out.

Drama arises when people assume instead of just asking.

Every single challenge life throws at you is an opportunity to grow.

Never self-victimize, fight.

The quality of your habits is the quality of your vibes.

The quality of your vibes is the quality of the people you attract.

Smart people read from the perspective of the writer, not their own.

You always find more clarity after a good workout.

People who consistently catch opportunities are those who constantly learn when they don’t need to.

Stop wasting your energy on people who won’t appreciate your efforts.

To gain self-confidence is to keep the promises you make with yourself.

Two types of people:

Those who complain about how society is,

and those who are busy making it better.

If you experienced failure early in life,

you were already very lucky.

Once you have everything you want,

the only meaningful thing left to do is to help others get what they want.

Stop comparing yourself to people who started ten years before you.

Focus on your own journey.

You can have everything you need and still be unhappy if you don’t know how to appreciate it.

There is no point discussing with someone who already decided to not change their mind.

You are most inspiring when you have a clear goal.

Hang out with people who aren’t scared of saying, “I was wrong.”

You often get your best ideas whilst thinking about how to help others.

In doubt, stay kind.

You don’t know what someone is silently going through.

Everyone wants interesting friends,

few choose to become the interesting friend.

A sign of education:

You can be alone without feeling lonely.

Seek to understand their point of view,

not to impose yours.

You choose who to give your attention to.

Raise your standards, life will get better.

@PSchlutermann No, I’m not an AI 😂

My tweets all come from personal experience.

It takes intelligence to stay humble.

The fastest way to get rid of some people is to let them believe they’ve won.

Don’t bother justifying yourself to people who already decided to dislike you.

Don’t wait until you have health issues to question your habits.

Genuine friends > “networking”

Don’t be different for the sake of being different, just connect with your true self.

Step 1: Figure out what you love, where you have potential, what you can do for others

Step 2: Be diligent on your efforts, think long-term, act every day, stick to it for a decade

Step 3: Be rewarded way beyond your initial expectations, realize it was all about the journey

Being funny and making fun of someone are two very different things.

You will be hated for minding your own business, because success attracts envy.

There are “smart and talented” people who lack self-confidence and won’t even try.

There are also “average” people with almost irrational self-confidence who change the world.

Self-belief is the secret.

There is no revenge to take.

Succeed for your own sake.

One of the healthiest habits to learn:

Take nothing personally.

If it’s worth reading at all, read it slowly.

To improve your mood, exercise.

To think more clearly, meditate.

To understand the world, read.

To understand yourself, write.

To help people, help yourself.

To learn faster, have fun.

Learn to relax, you will be healthier.

To be uncancellable, be anonymous and keep your life private.

The most productive people are the ones who struggle the most internally.

They simply chose to create instead of complaining.

Write for yourself, not for validation.

The common point between all the talented and self-confident people:

They don’t put others down.

Every second you spend arguing with a rude stranger online is a second not spent with someone you
love.

Get your priorities straight, use the block button more often.

The first step of any success story: rejection.

Many people will attempt to discourage you if you are walking an unconventional path.

Just keep going.

Every time you start taking life too seriously, it’s time to step back and self-reflect.

The more you write,

the deeper you understand yourself.

The more clearly you think,

the fewer words you use.

A new life starts once you stop overthinking.

Being around people you can fully trust is a blessing.

Growth is natural once you are surrounded by friends who constantly seek to learn.

Simple personal rule:

If it’s not going to make their day or their life better, don’t say it.

The price of a lifetime of freedom is a decade of hard work and smart decisions.

Smart people read to understand.

The others read to react.

Once you’ve bought everything you thought you wanted,

you finally understand the meaning of “money doesn’t buy happiness.”

You become an entrepreneur once you get tired of waiting for someone else to solve your problem.

It always looks simple when you are not the one doing it.

If someone’s misfortune makes you happy, you are failing.

You want to help your kids, start by treating your spouse with love and respect.

People will help you if they like you, it's that simple.

There is no shortcut in relationships.

Years of mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual growth.

Friendships and love both require long-term thinking.

It’s possible to disagree and still stay respectful. It’s even highly recommended.

Everyone occasionally thinks about giving up. The key is to not do it, take a break, come back stronger.

Help people and life will help you.

We don’t need more investors,

we need more creators, builders, doers.

If you never have moments of self-doubt, you are in the comfort zone.

A great conversation requires two smart, self-confident people who won’t spend their time attacking
each other’s weaknesses.

People tend to underestimate the impact of your birthplace on the opportunities you have access to.
That’s one of the most important life lotteries.

It’s okay to change your opinion about someone if that person changed.

Just because you have nothing to hide doesn’t mean you shouldn’t value your privacy.

You only need to catch up with the best version of yourself.

Painful rejection is what most people need to wake up and start living.

To stay humble is to stay successful.

You won’t learn to think clearly just from reading books.

Travel. Teach. Build. Make mistakes.

That’s how you connect the dots.

People's assumptions about you are their problem.

Re-reading what you wrote a few years ago is always a startling experience.

Hang out more with optimistic people.

Pessimistic people won’t even try.

When people say they want to be rich,

they mean they want peace of mind and freedom.

Lessons don’t stick until you pay the price.

Stop being afraid of being disliked.

Be unapologetically yourself.

You will get exactly the friends you deserve.

It’s always easier to trust happy people.

They are focused on their lives and won’t conspire against you.

People who gave up on their dreams tend to discourage others.

People who work towards their dreams tend to help and support others.

It’s never too late to start a new life.

The way you talk about people says more about you than about them.
The older you get,

the less you believe in “talent,”

and the more you believe in “sticking around for long enough.”

Being young and healthy is the ultimate privilege.

All the happiest people I know are busy working on a personal project they love.

Living abroad should be a compulsory component of any educational curriculum.

Raise the standards of your relationships, and suddenly, most dramas disappear.

The smarter you get, the less you assume.

Tolerating people who disrespect you is a sign of low self-esteem.

Hating is the most common sign of failure.

Some people will never appreciate you regardless of what you do.

What matters is whether you appreciate yourself.

The smarter you get,

the less strongly you disagree,

because you understand that everything is a matter of perspective.

When you are naturally competitive,

you inevitably compare yourself to others.

The secret:

be so focused on your own efforts that you no longer have time to feel envy.

Throw away your pride.

Take yourself less seriously.

Try and fail more often.

Don’t be scared of being laughed at.

You will grow much faster.

The first thing you should do before criticizing someone else is to look at your own life.
The less you care about who’s reading,

the better you write.

The fastest way to lighten up your mood is a good workout.

Life gets better once you have higher standards for yourself.

You are successful when you love to help younger people reach their goals faster than you did.

You rarely hear from people who have everything they want because they’re smart enough to
disappear.

It will never be the right time.

Jump when you are not ready.

True friends will tell you the short-term painful truth if it can lead to your long-term success.

You want to help your future self, stay humble.

When you have too much going on in your mind, write.

It will be messy at first.

But one day, you will look back, and realize it was one of the best habits you've ever learned.

No one successful is looking down on you, they’re all busy figuring out their own lives.

To attract more luck is to cultivate better vibes.

Reasons why it’s easier to get richer once you are already rich:

1) You can take more bets because you can afford to fail

2) You can take years off, educate yourself at your own pace, see the bigger picture

3) You can think, act, create long-term and focus on what you love

There is nothing shameful in saying,

“I don’t know.”

Life rewards people who stuck to the long-term vision they started ten years ago.

If you care about relaxation,

you will naturally work hard to attain financial freedom,

then relax all you want.

Your most precious asset is your integrity,

because peace is no longer possible once you’ve betrayed yourself.

There are tons of smart people who never reach their goals,

not because of a lack of intelligence,

but because of a lack of patience.

Think in decades. Build every day.

The best ideas come during daily walks.

Every setback is an opportunity to question yourself and become a better person.

“If you can do it today, do it today” is a life-changing mindset.

Becoming wealthy and staying wealthy require two very different sets of skills.

If you didn’t work hard to get it,

you won’t know how to appreciate it.

Working out is as much about fitness and physical health as it is about mental health.

It may be easier to connect with people around your age,

but you learn so much more when you talk with younger or older people,

because their perspective is entirely different.

To grow faster, get rejected more often.

The more you act, the less you worry.

Rely on your analytical mind.

Rely on your intuitive mind.

The best decisions come from a combination of both.

Good habits today = easier life tomorrow

More money means fewer problems.

You just need to keep your life private.

Belittling others mostly signals that you still have a long way to go.

The more talented you get,

the more you want freedom.

Never wait for someone else to make your choices for you.

Loneliness is when you’ve never learned how to appreciate time alone.

No one will just give you the life you want.

You will have to fight for it yourself.

The smarter you get,

the less you judge,

but the better your judgment becomes.

A sign of success:

You are around people you can trust.

People who change the world are those who were unafraid of changing themselves.

The smart thing to do once wealthy:

Keeping a low profile.

A great teacher makes you question yourself whilst building up your self-confidence.

Motivation comes naturally once you are surrounded by driven people.

Not tolerating bad vibes and rudeness is another sign of self-respect.

To stop overthinking, take more action.

Entrepreneurship is for people who like to figure things out by themselves.

Intelligence is about clear judgment,

and clear judgment is about staying calm.

Being passive-aggressive only signals that you are unhappy.

Peace of mind requires being surrounded by adults who can take care of themselves.

People with a big ego easily get manipulated.

Your health, your character, your desire to learn. These are amongst your most valuable assets.
The first person you should question when you disagree is yourself.

Your real education starts once you’ve been abroad.

The clarity of your thoughts is the quality of your life.

A sign of intelligence:

You don’t constantly jump on any opportunity to react and act offended.

Many people never fix their anxiety because they neither want to question their habits nor their
relationships.

You are successful if you wake up every morning excited about the upcoming day.

Entrepreneurship accelerates personal growth because you don’t have a choice but take responsibility
for your results.

Long-term, people who have high standards for themselves get rewarded.

People worth your time always respect your time.

You will never see someone self-confident making fun of anyone.

Spend less time criticizing others,

spend more time minding your own business,

and suddenly, life just gets better.

Hang out with optimistic people.

You suddenly become luckier.

Good vibes attract good opportunities.

Kids nowadays can learn more from Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, than from most schools.

Pushing yourself physically also rewires your mental limitations.

Difficult books are reminders to stay humble.

People underestimate how much their life can change with two or three years of focused, intelligent
work.

No one cares about how busy you look.

People care about efficiency and results.

Most people have a wrong idea of “work.”

It’s not just about sitting down and grinding.

Going for a walk every day when you have a creative job is work.

Working out every day to maintain a clear mind for a job that necessitates long-term good judgment is
work too.

Your wealth reflects your past financial investments.

Your family reflects your past emotional commitments.

Your talents reflect your past efforts and persistence.

Your health reflects your past daily habits.

You are responsible for the life your future self will live.

Wealth is also about being surrounded by people you love who love you.

The world is built by people who don’t mind failing.

Not allowing anyone to waste your time is another sign of self-respect.

No one is as happy as you think they are.

You naturally become happier once you wake up every morning knowing you are building something
useful to others.

A sign of humility:

Putting in the work every day without making excuses.

Become the person you want to work with. You suddenly attract business opportunities.

The best teachers don’t lecture you about how you should think.

They show you how to think independently.

Rejection kickstarts growth.

All the money in the world cannot compensate for the meaningfulness of a loving family.

It’s never too late to change the direction of your life if you don’t enjoy it.

One way to solve mental agitation:

Work out harder.

What most people call talent is consistency of efforts over several decades.
Read to think, not to memorize.

A sign of self-confidence:

You often compliment others.

No one cares about how smart you sound, real life isn’t school anymore.

The more you teach,

the more clearly you think.

It’s okay to change your mind, especially when you’re wrong.

Being serious about your ambitions,

but never taking yourself too seriously,

that’s what being attractive is about.

The most important life lessons cannot be read, only experienced.

The more self-confident you become,

the less you judge other people.

Great friendships require two self-confident people because you can’t trust someone who’s constantly
plotting in their head.

Entrepreneurship is the fastest way to connect all the dots about how society works.

It’s harder to teach someone when they’re convinced they already know everything.

You are educated once you appreciate quiet time alone with your own mind.

A bad day doesn’t excuse being rude.

You suddenly think more clearly once you stay away from people who don’t make sense.

Working harder and getting luckier are the same process.

Clear thinkers are just honest people not in conflict with themselves.

Truth never offends smart people.

The smarter you get,

the fewer dramas you have in your life,

because you solve problems before they compound.

Creativity is a muscle, you don’t use it, it atrophies.

No one knows what you can or cannot do, not even the current you.

Crazy how everything suddenly gets better once you focus on your life.

Losing a lot of money teaches you that it’s still just money, and that life continues.

Hating is the most common sign of personal failure.

You suddenly get luckier once you became the kind of person who helps others without second
thought.

Don’t use the word “friend” if you can’t fully be yourself around them.

Hang out with driven people who aren’t scared of trying new things and failing.

A bit of ego and spite can get you started,

but long-term, you don’t need them.

Humility + consistent hard work + enjoying what you do = success

You know someone is meant to be in your life if your conversations fill you up with positive energy.

Living a simple, private life surrounded by thoughtful people you love, that’s the secret of happiness.

Life gets better once you have better vibes.

Growth happens naturally once you love doing the hard things.

A good workout solves a lot of problems.

Don’t go around discouraging others just because it didn’t work out for you.

Laughing at others won’t fix your insecurities.

If no one ever looked at you as if you were crazy, you can probably be more ambitious.

The first thing smart people do when they disagree is ask themselves where they might be wrong.

Self-confidence naturally appears after you became the person they said you could never be.

Sustainable growth is slow, so start early.

Your opinion matters once it’s backed by visible results.

Growth involves looking at yourself objectively, identifying behaviors you dislike, and unlearning them.

Aim for financial freedom first,

then you will have all the time you need to figure out what success means to you.

Success is mostly about clear thinking, deep focus, and intelligent risk-taking.
Writing is the art of releasing the internal pressure caused by overthinking.

Constantly taking offense is a common sign of unintelligence.

Self-doubt is fuel for growth.

You just need to act on it.

Growth is immediate once you start taking responsibility for your actions.

It’s healthy to occasionally step back when you start taking life too seriously.

Self-confidence is just a side effect of successfully doing what you once thought you couldn’t do.

Life is generous to people who are serious about their dream.

Learning how to be calm and relaxed

= learning how to think more clearly

= learning how to make better decisions

= living a better life

You are not overthinking,

you just have too much free time.

A healthy routine includes:

- a walk
- enough sleep
- some laughters
- some sweating
- mindful time alone
- some creative endeavor
- some meaningful conversation

Be the friend who listens without judging.

Self-confidence is when you no longer feel the need to prove anything to anyone.

Your circle of friends will likely change as you grow, because not everyone is ready to move on.

Don’t waste time with people who aren’t ready to change their beliefs.

The lazier you are,

the harder you work to achieve financial freedom and exit the race.
You don’t need to be a genius,

you just need to see the world in a way that no one else can.

When the consequences aren’t too heavy,

just make the mistake, you will learn fastest.

You suddenly become more attractive once you are having fun with life.

You are most honest when you are financially free.

A walk every day keeps the mind calm.

The more self-confident you get,

the less often you feel attacked.

Being free to spend time with people you love on your own terms is another sign of success.

Good vibes attract luck.

You mock others when you are insecure.

You build others up when you are self-confident.

If you grew up around loving parents,

you were already blessed.

Building self-confidence is the art of focusing on your own life.

Motivation comes naturally when you are surrounded by ambitious people.

Don’t shy away from uncomfortable conversations. They make you grow.

The secret to win when the rules are stacked against you: invent and play another game.

Creating is the antidote to overthinking.

Waste my time once, shame on you.

Waste my time twice, shame on me.

Whenever you disagree with someone,

seek to understand what they see that you don’t.

That’s the art of growing your own mind.

Working out every day is also self-love.

Your level of financial freedom today reflects the quality of the investments you started ten years ago.

The most meaningful jobs always involve helping people.

You think you will be happy once you are smart, attractive, rich, talented, loved,

but it turns out you just get bored,

so stop hurrying so much, and slowly enjoy the process of reaching your goals.

Be ready to offend some people if you value the truth.

Changing your mind doesn’t mean you contradict yourself.

It means you updated your worldview and got smarter, as you should.

When life is too easy, you get bored and depressed.

When life is too hard, you get distressed and depressed.

A happy life is the art of living at the right difficulty level.

Stop focusing on what you want.

Start focusing on how to get what you want.

Wealthy and smart people all keep a low profile.

Self-education for all for free.

That’s what we owe the Internet.

You want better stories, travel more.

You accelerate your growth by surrounding yourself with people who can respectfully disagree.

You are most attractive when you think clearly and know what you want.

Being scared of failing is the most common cause of failure.

No one cares about you until you bring value on the table.

Happy people are people who eat well, sleep well, exercise well, invest well.

The less you have achieved,

the more you tend to judge others.

Wealth without health is no wealth.

Traveling alone is self-discovery.

A great gift for your future self: stay humble.

Some people want love, but don’t want to commit.

They want money, but don’t want to take risks.

They want freedom, but don’t want to invest long-term.

They want peace, but don’t want to self-reflect.

Watch your daily actions.

They reflect what you truly want.

Self-love is also about taking proper care of your mental health.

Yes, it always seems obvious after someone else did it.

Growth starts when you stop taking criticism personally.

Most people don't fix their diet and don't exercise until they have health issues.

They don't learn anything until they have to.

They don't invest money when they could.

They don't appreciate enough their family and friends when they are still around.

Don't be most people.

Better habits = fewer bad days

Self-reflection is the art of understanding what inhibited your growth.

You don’t have time to worry when you are focused on meaningful work.

In the long run, consistency of efforts wins.

Artists who don’t create can’t find peace.

You don’t have time to tear people down when you are busy building yourself up.

Lack of productivity is lack of focus.

Lack of valuable skills is lack of efforts.

Lack of results is lack of long-term vision.

To move abroad is to rewire your brain.

Health is unpredictable.

Never take it for granted.

Every day you wake up is a gift.

Some people learn faster when under pressure, others when totally relaxed.

To grow fast is to know yourself.

Freely learning what you want at your own pace is another form of peace.

It’s much simpler to be patient once you have a financial safety net, so just build it first.

Life gets better once your thinking gets better.

The smarter you are,

the more often you assume you might be wrong.

You will always have a good excuse to start later. Just don’t listen to yourself.

Writing about yourself is the art of teaching yourself who you are.

The two pillars of a successful life:

Solve problems before they compound.

Invest early and let compound.

Anything worth building takes at least a few years.

We live in a world where you literally just need to buy a great asset and wait for a decade to build
wealth,

but most people still don’t get rich because they wanted to get rich quick.

Your friend isn’t ignoring you,

everyone is just busy dealing with life.

It takes self-confidence to genuinely wish the best for others.

Have a dream bigger than yourself and you will naturally attract interesting people.

The secret to grow further is to learn more slowly.

Failure is when you aren’t growing year after year.

The common point between all the happy people out there:

they are working towards some clear long-term vision whilst appreciating what they have.

Many people never change because it takes humility to grow.

Don’t be an intellectual, be smart.

Money buys freedom from people who bring no value to your life, and more quality time with people
who do.

The smarter you get,

the less you react emotionally.

You are attractive when you are authentic.

First, you learn.

Then, you teach.

Then, you finally understand.

You learn best when you are relaxed and enjoy what you are doing.

Life is full of ups and downs.

On your ups, help others.

On your downs, don’t give up.

We are all equal in the end.

Maybe it’s not “risky,”

maybe you are just addicted to playing safe.

You want to get rich, either create something valuable, or invest in people who do.

Not caring about crypto is like not caring about the Internet twenty years ago.

Signs of self-respect:

1) you keep yourself fit and clear-minded

2) you don’t tolerate people who don’t respect your time

3) you invest in your own freedom

4) you surround yourself with people you love

5) you maintain good habits

6) you strive to become a better person

Once you are living the life you want,

your tolerance to mind games is zero.

Start your day by spending your energy with a workout,

and you somehow have more energy for the rest of the day.

Everyone wants to get rich,

few take risks.

Everyone wants to get smart,

few push themselves mentally.

Everyone wants to get fit,

few push themselves physically.

Everyone wants an attractive spouse,

few question their own attractiveness.

Everyone wants peace,

few meditate.

Anxiety is the gap between what you are meant to create and what you are actually creating.

True education is the art of becoming less entitled, more grateful, more useful.

You will feel at peace once you stop taking things personally.

The quality of your friends is the quality of your vibes.

To be calm is to think more clearly.

To think more clearly is to compound good decisions.

To compound good decisions is to gain more freedom.

You don’t need to be ready, you just need to stop overthinking and start.

Books can help connect the dots, but you still have to do the thinking yourself.

The older you become,

the more you realize how insignificant decisions you made ten or twenty years ago compounded,

and the more you understand the importance of good decision-making and long-term thinking.

Success is when you wake up every day around people you love doing what you love.

You want to change your habits and unlearn your conditioning, move abroad.

Missing out on opportunities you could have caught hurts more than trying and failing.

Sometimes, you gotta stop overthinking and just go for it.

Have clear goals. Be ambitious.

Attractive people are all working hard.

People who are bitter and cynical are just confessing they aren’t living the life they want.

Don’t take it personally.

Staying humble is the art of compounding success.

Most people underestimate how much they can achieve in just a few years.

Even when you start with no connection and no capital.

Nowadays, it’s all about who knows how to leverage the Internet better.

Markets don’t care about your feelings.

Irrational self-belief alone takes you pretty far.

You can’t save people, but you can help them save themselves.

Professionals are amateurs with more self-discipline and ambitions.

The smarter you get,

the less strongly you disagree,

the less often you jump to conclusions.

Money at least buys some time to figure out what happiness means to you.

Everyone is one good trade away from financial freedom.

Personal rules. At any time of your life:

1) Learn a foreign language

2) Have a hobby that makes you feel like a beginner
3) Have clear short-term and long-term goals
4) Invest in assets that will yield more free time
5) Make time for people you love
6) Practice being calm

Good habits are just another form of self-respect.

What you think you can do doesn’t matter until you do it. Don’t live in your mind.

Don’t wait until you need to learn it.

Catching opportunities consistently is about learning skills five or ten years before you actually need
them.

It takes intelligence to unlearn wrong beliefs you held for decades.

You want to reach your full potential of clarity, learn how to relax in the midst of uncertainty.

It’s often faster to just do it instead of overthinking whether you can do it.

Time spent with people you love is always time well spent.

Some people give up because it’s hard.

Some others do it precisely because it’s hard.

You want to grow, challenge yourself.

Consistently starting when you don’t feel like it. That’s the talent.

A sign of wealth:

You can choose exactly who you spend your time with.

The smarter you get,

the less you feel attacked by everything.

Everyone is a critic until they are busy creating their own thing.

You grow fastest when you aren’t scared of making mistakes in public.

Staying calm when things aren’t working in your favor is how you turn the tide.

Retiring doesn’t mean you stop working, it means you can finally spend more time on what’s
meaningful to you.

Learn to not react to people who don’t make sense. That’s a superpower.

Nowadays, you will be labeled controversial if you just think independently.

Being around people with good vibes is another source of energy and motivation.

If you love spending time alone,

you will love writing.

Long-term thinking is the best gift you can give yourself.

You give yourself a meaningful goal.

You reach it.

You feel happy for a moment.

You realize the feeling doesn’t last.

You give yourself a new goal.

You repeat.

That’s life.

No, you are not perfect as you are, keep up your efforts and good habits.

Giving up is way easier than working hard without seeing immediate results.

That’s why most people do it.

Stay around people who fill you up with positive energy. That’s the secret.

Being alive and healthy is the privilege.

Being good at studying and being able to create value for society are two different sets of skills.

Get rid of your pride.

Make more mistakes.

You will grow fastest.

Many of the calmest people were actually struggling with anger until they realized it was a waste of
time and energy.

“Easy” is when you put in a decade of hard work before.

Self-confidence appears after you close the gap between who you are and who you think you should
be.

When it comes to relationships, trust your gut feeling. If the vibes feel off, you are likely avoiding a
bullet.

Fitness is simple, you just need to not skip your workout even when you don’t feel like it.

If you need to make others feel small in order to feel big, fix your insecurities.

It takes intelligence to disagree respectfully.

To help others, focus on your life.

Invest in people who have an ambitious vision for themselves.

The first conversation with a stranger is almost always interesting and educative.

Lifelong friends are those with whom it stays that way even after a decade.

Become someone who genuinely seeks to help, and life will help you.

Show some self-respect,

stop tolerating people who don’t respect your time.

If you never fail, it’s time to get out from your bubble of comfort.

The smarter you get, the less you blame.

Every single challenge life throws at you is an opportunity to grow.

If you never left your country, you don’t understand it.

The goal of education:

Building a calmer mind

The happier you are,

the more private you keep your life.

You think you will be happy once you have money, love, friendships, good looks, influence, knowledge,

then you finally acquire the wisdom to understand that you could have been happy all along.

Making the effort to stay calm even when life pushes you around,

that’s how you become a clearer thinker.

“I want to be rich” means

1) you want to get rid of the alarm clock

2) you want to leisurely spend time with people you love

3) you want to stop worrying about the rent or whether you can buy healthy food

4) you want to be able to help

5) you want to do more of what you love

The smarter you get,

the less often you feel attacked.

Personal growth involves letting go of some people,

but it is a small price to pay considering the people you will now attract.

Stop worrying about whether you are offending people, just state the truth respectfully.

Create the Twitter account you want to read.

You will get more self-confident once you have achieved, at least once in your life, what you initially
thought you couldn’t do.

You stop quoting others once you can think independently.

Bad days will happen.

You just need to hang on till they’re over.

The most successful people aren’t trying to get richer or more famous,

they just want to work on some interesting projects that improve people’s lives.

Regret is wasted energy.

Start working on your next goal instead.

Learning to relax the mind is the art of keeping the body healthy.

Privacy is one of your most valuable assets.

The fastest way to relax the mind is to push the body with a workout.

“Home” is where people stop asking you where you are “really from.”

Living abroad is how you understand your country.

Most dramas disappear once you hang out with smarter friends.

100% of the people who are living the life they want took the risk of failing and wasting years.
Success is as much about courage as it is about wits.

It’s okay to “disappoint” others,

their expectations are their problem,

just don’t disappoint yourself.

The purpose of money:

Living the life you want

The purpose of education:

Understanding what you want

The purpose of good habits:

Executing long-term on what you want

Tell people you were just lucky and they will leave you alone.

You become an adult once you understand that no one owes you anything.

The younger you are, the bolder you should be when it comes to taking risks and investing.

If more and more people want to see you fail, you’re onto something, keep going.

The first thing smart people do when they disagree: understanding the other perspective.

Authorities are scared of independent thinkers who can’t be bought with money.

The harder you work,

the less you believe in talent.

The longer you’ve been on the Internet,

the more you understand the value of anonymity and keeping your life private.

Making fun of others is a common way for unhappy people to distract themselves from their own
reality.

If it’s true, there is no reason to get offended.

If it’s false, there is no reason to get offended either.

Taking offense only means you have too much free time.
Staying calm in the face of adversity is another sign of intelligence.

You get smarter once you are financially free because you have so much more time to think and
connect the dots.

A great relationship involves two minds who seek personal growth.

You won't be "happy" once you've reached all your goals, only bored, so give yourself difficult ones.

Crazy how the more you mind your own business, the more successful you become.

Become financially free.

Live a private life doing what you love.

That’s success.

The best growth strategy is to unapologetically be yourself.

If someone rejects you, stop feeling entitled to their attention, have some self-respect, get a life, and
move on.

Seeking conflicts with strangers is the most common sign of failure and unhappiness.

Don’t take it personally.

You stop wasting time with mind games as you get more mature.

You say what you think the way you think it, and everyone saves time.

When stuck in a problem, go for a walk.

In doubt, choose the path that involves more personal growth.

Detachment doesn’t mean you don’t care, it means you aren’t enslaved.

Stop seeking reasons to give up, start seeking reasons to keep going.

Being fit shows that you understand that mental health follows physical health.

Make a gift to your future self, stay humble.

Stop wasting time with people who can’t interact in a civil way, life will get better.

Wisdom is when you appreciate each day as if it was the last, but still invest in yourself long-term.

A sign that you care about your mental health: you work out regularly.

You will suddenly attract tons of successful people once you have happy vibes.

You feel happiest when you are contributing to something greater than yourself.

If you are easily flattered, you are easily manipulated.

You will figure out what you truly want to do once you no longer need money.

Many people forget that the goal isn’t money, the goal is to spend your days as you wish.

Your mind always feels at peace after a tough workout.

Once you have reached all your materialistic goals, you finally understand what you truly want:

Peace. Stemming from a private life.

To be attractive is to pursue ambitious dreams.

It takes self-confidence to genuinely compliment someone, that’s why many choose to hate instead.

You always feel better after a walk.

Credentials don’t matter for the best jobs. Connections and skills do.

You think clearest when you stop worrying.

Every single successful person out there thought about giving up many times.

They just didn’t.

Seek to be yourself, not to fit in.

The quality of your mind is the quality of your routine.

Not wasting time with people who don’t respect you is self-respect.

Personal growth starts with the humility to acknowledge your flaws.

Learn from people who are doing better than you instead of envying them.

No one cares about your opinion until you are happily living the life you want.

Many successful entrepreneurs started with no skill, no money, no connection, alone abroad,

living very frugally for years, and working a part-time job to keep themselves afloat.

You just gotta stop making excuses.

Stay around focused people who work hard and grow and you will naturally do the same.

Stay around people who complain and argue and you will naturally do the same too.

Your choice.

Lack of talent is lack of self-discipline and patience.

Stick to your efforts for at least a decade. Growth isn’t linear.

You are successful when you’ve found a reason to wake up every day with a smile.

We live in a society where the smarter you become, the more you question your sanity.

To notice your conditioning, move abroad.

Forget about saving the world.

Focus on helping yourself first.

Self-respect starts with taking proper care of your body and your mind.

Self-reflect but don’t overthink.

To learn faster is to teach more.

To understand faster is to do more.

To think faster is to self-reflect more.

Good vibes and optimism attract interesting people.

Assumptions many make:

1) If you are young and financially free, you must have been privileged

2) If you are athletic and smart, you must have had good genes

3) If you are living the life you want, you must have been lucky

The truth:

They just seek a reason to give up

Judging less is a healthy habit.

You become luckier once you think in decades.

The more time you spend living a private, happy life,

the more you feel like there is no upside to revealing any personal information at all.

Life is too short to spend it around people who don’t respect you.

The smartest way to solve a problem is to not let it happen.

Transparency solves a lot of problems.

You will be hated for changing things because many benefit from stagnation.
The best advice come from people who don’t need your money.
Don’t take it personally when someone is rude, they are just expressing their unhappiness.

You become an adult once you stop blaming others for your own decisions.

Raise your standards for yourself and people will naturally respect you.

The calmer your mind,

the clearer your thoughts.

Anonymity brings out how you truly think.

Whether someone seems arrogant or self-assured depends on your own self-confidence.

Intelligence is also about not starting bad habits.

Self-educated people always have an interesting background story.

The happier you get,

the more you want other people to be successful too.

You don’t need to have anything figured out when you start.

You can always make more money later, but you can’t always gain back good health.

Get your priorities straight.

Surround yourself with driven people.

Stay away from the pessimistic.

Focus on your long-term vision.

That’s the recipe.

Great teachers don’t tell you what to think, they help you come up with your own thoughts.

A great way to attract interesting people is to live an unconventional life.

The quality of your long-term vision is the amount of “luck” you attract.

Anxiety is the gap between who you are and who you want to be.

You won’t think more clearly just because you constantly read / listen to clear thinkers.

“I don’t have much time left.”

Being successful means you are spending every day exactly as you want.

The mind is calmest when it knows it grows.

To get wealthier is to spend less time on what you dislike and more time on what you love.

Reading tons of books won’t help you get more self-confident.

You need to put yourself out there, take risks, make mistakes, learn and iterate, achieve difficult goals.

The highest privilege of being young:

You can completely fail, and still be able to re-build from scratch without being judged much.

You don’t need experience to get started, you just need the courage to fail.

Notice that people who love to tell you what you can’t do,

or that you don’t understand what you are talking about,

have never achieved much.

Common excuses:

“I don’t have any skill.”

“I don’t have any money.”

“I don’t have any connection.”

“I don’t know where to start.”

Welcome to the world of entrepreneurship,

where no one will hold your hand,

where everyone figures things out as they go.

Failing is ok, not trying isn’t.

A common mistake is to think that there is something out there that will make you happy forever.

Some people might hate you if you speak your mind, but no one will love you if you don’t.

The biggest hurdle to personal growth is your own mind.

but it can buy a healthier lifestyle.

Money cannot buy happiness,

The better your vibes, the luckier you get.

Most people don’t need more time.

Most people need deeper focus.

Enjoying the process of reaching your goals, that’s success.

Self-improvement is just the art of focusing on your own life.

Your mind will be clear after your self-reflections identify the causes of your anxiety.

It takes intelligence to understand that just because it doesn’t apply to you doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

You are having a great conversation when hours go by and you’re still not running out of ideas.

The level of your energy reflects the consistency of your good habits.

To learn fast is to relax under pressure.

A great conversation isn’t about convincing the other of your perspective.

A great conversation is about two people seeking to understand each other’s perspective.

It takes intelligence and maturity to disagree respectfully.

It takes more courage than wits to live the life you want.

The playlist you need for deeper focus is called silence.

If you are not growing year after year, you have to change the direction of your efforts.

Financial freedom is also about who you no longer have to tolerate.

Many unhappy people go around seeking conflicts.

maybe you will start winning at life.

You will never regret investing time and money into becoming smarter.

The more successful you become,

the more you seek to help,

and the more successful you become.

The reason why self-confident, happy people hang out together:

they are tired of personal attacks.

A great relationship involves two people who understand that a clear mind needs time alone.

You only think it’s easy when you are not the one doing it.

Talented people have simply mastered the art of practicing even when they don’t feel like it.

A great thing about financial freedom:

You no longer have to tolerate people who don’t respect you.

Life is too short to argue with people who don’t even care about you.

Spend it with people you love.

Spend it doing what you love.

No amount of money can buy the peace of mind that comes from loving, long-lasting relationships.

Reading books cannot replace traveling and living abroad. Theory versus practice.

You get luckier once you are happy, because good vibes attract opportunities.

Being wealthy, being smart, being confident. They all involve being calm. They all involve peace of
mind.

focus on those who will contribute to a better society for all.

You are blessed if:

1) you were born healthy

2) you never experienced war
3) you grew up with loving parents
4) you could go to school
5) you rarely suffered from hunger

create value and help people,

starting with your family and friends.

The difficulty to learn from the happiest people comes from the fact that they all live private lives.

The day you realize everyone is too busy to pay attention to your mistakes is the day you start growing
faster.

No one ever ended up living the life they wanted without taking calculated risks.

People who make fun of your mistakes are the same who envy you after you’ve succeeded.

Ignore them altogether.

Life always seems more joyful after a good workout.

You don’t need a book to change your life,

you need to be more mindful about your daily actions, take more risks, think more long-term.

A sign of success:

You no longer feel the need to convince others that you are on the right path.

If you aren’t taking any risk especially in your twenties, you are failing.

Ignore:

1) People hating you for living the life they wish they were living

2) People mocking you for taking risks and trying because they stagnate

3) People seeking fights because they have nothing better to do

4) People telling you what you can’t do based on what they can’t

You will never be respected if you are scared of owning your differences and who you are.
Financial freedom is when you no longer need to sell your time doing what you dislike.

Writing is the art of connecting with thoughts you didn't know existed in you.

Work on something interesting and you will connect with interesting people.

You learn much faster once you stop convincing yourself that you are not smart enough.

Success is the art of surrounding yourself with long-term thinkers and becoming one.

when they come back to help.

It takes patience to get fit.

It takes patience to build a happy family.

It takes patience to nurture friendships.

It takes patience to write a book.

will inevitably succeed.

When you are still immature,

you somehow think you look smart when you constantly disagree,

then you realize you were just annoying.

the more successful you are.

Getting offended over statements that aren't even specifically addressed to you is the sign that you
have too much free time.

Life becomes more generous once you devote all your energy towards helping people.

At the end of the day,

nothing will matter much,

and everything will be forgotten:

make sure you live the life you want,

make sure you align who you are and who you want to be,

make sure you express your feelings,

and make sure you spend enough time around those you love.

All your relationships improve once you are at peace in your mind.

Stay away from people who don't allow you to change your mind.

Most people should allocate more time for meaningful conversations about life.

No one was born self-confident.

We start with doubts, we struggle.

We make mistakes, we learn.

"Believing in yourself" is earned through efforts.

Untalented people mock others.

Talented people encourage them.

Never stop investing in people high in integrity who never stop learning.

Don't feel bad for missing opportunities,

feel grateful that there are so many.

It takes self-confidence to say "I don't know."

Don’t forget to be generous on your way up.

People busy creating the life they want have no time for drama.

Unlearning bad habits is half of success.

Financial freedom was the goal of all the people who didn't like to be told what to do.

The best business school is starting your own business.

Apple was created in 1976.

Amazon was created in 1994.

Tesla was created in 2003.

Bitcoin was created in 2009.

Overnight successes take decades.

If you are not writing every day,

you are missing out on your full potential of clarity.

Life gets better once you stay away from people who love to put you in boxes.

You want less competition,

just work on harder problems.

Copying an independent thinker isn't how you become one.

Do something because you want to do it,

not because some people want you to.

You learn faster once you stop taking it personally when someone disagrees.

Friends are people who invest in you hoping that you end up with the happy life you want.

Consistent efforts every day for a decade or more.

You are now "talented."

You are happy when you are focused on building the future, and part of a meaningful mission.

Getting wealthy is inevitable when you are patiently compounding knowledge and talent.

Wealth is about how much freedom you have every day.

Overthinkers are creative minds that aren't expressing themselves enough.

Fulfilling your potential is the best entertainment.

A walk every day keeps most worries away.

People who are not ready for a slow success are not ready for any success.

Reading gives the illusion that you understand what you don't.

Writing highlights what you don't understand.

Doing is the reality check.

People who were "not meant to succeed" make the best success stories.

The best thing about starting from the scratch with no money and no connection,

is the feeling that you truly earned it once you finally succeed.

Never forget people who have been there for you when you needed them most.

“Home” is where you are appreciated for being you.

Wishing you all a great 2021,

take care everyone!

Relax, no one has time to keep track of your mistakes.

A lot of problems we have with others are actually problems we have with ourselves.

If you are capable of relaxing under pressure, you are capable of creativity.

Life is generous to people who execute long-term.

You are wealthiest when you don’t need a reason to feel happy and appreciate life.

Great conversations fill you up with energy and optimism for the future.

You become valuable to society once you understand it's not about your degree,

it's about your skills and competencies.

The most important part of compounding talent is to not stop the daily efforts.

Free education is the best gift of the Internet.

What’s one important thing you’ve learned in 2020?

A good relationship with your family starts with a good relationship with yourself.

The more talented you become,

the less you care about fitting in.

You are much more convincing when you stay calm and neutral instead of getting emotional.

To be happy,

you need less money than you think,

but also more freedom than you think.

Productivity = depth of focus

Creativity = calm mind in chaotic reality

Peace = self-understanding

Love = trust and respect

Growth = challenging your beliefs

Invest in people high in energy, courage, creativity, and integrity.

A lot of anxiety disappears once you are finally sincere with yourself, when the words you say and the
way you act are one.

Self-awareness is the key.

@BetterStewards It's quite different from my tweets.

A bit like a conversation with myself,

I reflect about my journey of the past decades, my mistakes, my strokes of "luck," and where I am
headed.

Should be out some time next year.

You will never be at peace if your success involves getting validated by someone else.

Early start.
Slow, steady growth.
Clear vision, patience.

That's success.

Making fun of someone who just got started and who is struggling is a common sign of insecurity.

Most people don’t want the truth,

they want their old beliefs validated.

To grow, be ready to feel uncomfortable.

Best things about money:

- free time to read, learn

- moving anywhere anytime
- ability to plan longer-term
- free time for family, friends
- ability to help people in need
- not worrying about rent, food
- not being scared of losing a job
- free to work on your own terms

Nowadays, success is about knowing how to use the Internet intelligently.

It takes self-confidence to genuinely compliment someone else.

Change what you eat, change how you feel.

Change what you read, change how you think.

Change how you speak, change how you're looked at.

Change how you love, change how you're loved.

Change how you train, change how you shine.

Change how you invest, change who you are.

The quality of your work reflects the quality of your mind.

Don't aim for a perfect life,

just try to be a bit better every day.

Don't tell people what they can't do based on what you can't do.

"I don't have time" often means "I don't know how to be focused and productive."

A great teacher is simply someone who remembers how it was like at the beginning.

Good investing just requires patience.

Most people just can't think in decades.

Being in the right place at the right time once is luck.

Being in the right place at the right time consistently is skill.

Success is the art of maintaining a clear mind over the years and decades.

If you are self-aware and self-driven,

then self-education is for you.

If you don't think before you talk,

soon enough,
you will only be surrounded by people who do the same.

Self-doubt is necessary for growth,

but it’s totally different from “being paralyzed by your own thoughts.”

Most people who believe they are "bad at maths" were simply not taught properly at school.

Anger and anxiety evaporate when you work out consistently.

If you aren’t ready to commit for a few years at least, don’t bother starting.

Greatness begins when you’ve been committed for a decade or more.

You will never meet someone talented who hasn't worked hard, and it doesn't matter whether they
consider it "hard work" or just "playing."

“Follow your passion” only works if you create value for society and help people.

Don’t apologize for sticking to your principles and keeping your integrity.

You will attract happy people after you get rid of your negative vibes.

If you never spend any time alone iterating on your own thoughts, you aren't thinking independently.

The smarter you get,

the less you care about being right,

and the more you care about understanding and making a difference.

Great conversations require two people who care more about listening than talking.

A great job makes you smile every morning.

Growth stops once you are scared of making mistakes.

Invest in people with the mental fortitude to overcome whatever life throws at them.

Finding a great spouse and becoming a great person are the same journey.

Reading body language is becoming a lost art.

The more you learn,

the more humble you get.

Re-reading what you wrote a year ago is always a bit shocking.

The highest wealth is freedom.

The more talented you get,

the less you show off your credentials.

The happier you get,

the more of a private person you become.

The secret to be calmer:

hang out with intelligent minds.

Self-awareness is the most important skill you can learn.

Anyone can talk,

but people listen only when you have results.

As it should be.

The best thing to do with people who just seek a reaction from you: ignore them.

You get more creative as you worry less.

Hang out with people who want to become better people.

Don’t rely on inspiration or motivation.

Just learn to be self-disciplined.

We are born independent thinkers,

then we learned to conform,

then we unlearn it.

You grow fastest when you are ambitious.

The best way to navigate life is on your own terms.

The secret is to get started when you are not ready.

To relax the mind, strengthen the body.

You don't necessarily need to have a clearly defined process.

Many successful people just follow their intuition.

That being said, they all had a clear vision of what they wanted.
You attract interesting people by working on interesting projects.

Making mistakes and growing isn’t painful, stagnating is.

When you want to clear the mind,

go for a walk.

When you truly want something,

a sense of urgency magically appears.

Your mind is calmest when you are surrounded by people you love.

Creativity only requires the maintenance of habits that relax the mind.

You don't need to sound smart,

you just need to be clear.

You are successful when you genuinely wish that things work out for everyone else too.

Lack of productivity is actually lack of focus.

Don't expect people to understand your vision, show them results.

To maintain clarity in a highly confused society, spend more time alone.

Relationships get simpler as your mind gets calmer.

Life never gets much easier,

you just learn to worry less about problems you cannot solve,

you just learn to handle more calmly problems you can solve,

and you just learn to appreciate the people you love whilst they are still here.

You can solve many health issues by getting rid of chronic stress.

Solve small problems before they compound into big problems.

At first, the dots seem to not connect,

then it happens all at once.

You just need to keep learning.

A sign of intelligence:
You don't need to wait until you have kids to be grateful for what your parents went through.

No one is ignoring you.

People are just busy.

You are smart when you’ve figured out how to unlearn.

Writing is the art of noticing the flaws in your thinking.

To be able to stay calm under any circumstance is a superpower.

To be focused, cut off the distractions.

To be healthy, eat better, eat less, fast.

To be smart, read, write, connect the dots.

To be eloquent, teach, converse.

To be creative, relax, travel, self-reflect.

To be loved, be honest, be yourself.

To be happy, live mindfully.

The ability to change is the highest sign of intelligence.

Wealth = health + family + peace of mind

Build a business that frees time,

not one that enslaves you.

You are never too busy for people you love.

In many cases, the best thing to do when you feel like reacting is to not react.

Talent and wealth follow the same principle:

start as early as possible and compound.

You haven't "downgraded" your lifestyle just because you stopped buying things you don't need.

You simply got smarter.

Working out consistently improves all the areas of your life.

Freedom is when you no longer feel the need to be validated.

High self-esteem is when you've been executing on promises made with yourself.

A happy couple is two people who can handle time alone.

Smart people don't waste time with mind games.

They value their time.

Make mistakes in public.

The lessons will stick.

You want to be productive,

learn when to relax.

Time spent with people you love is always time well-spent.

You don’t need any specific reason to love someone.

What’s a change of habit that significantly improved your mental health?

True, you could have started ten years ago and be financially free today with a few better decisions.

But you can also start today and be in a much better situation ten years from now.

Relationships are not sustainable without emotional maturity from both sides.

A great conversation happens when two people think before they talk.

Not caring about what people think is freedom.

Invest in what you want to keep for a decade or more.

High productivity is simply the art of maintaining your good habits and playing the long-term game.

People driven by the same goals end up meeting.

You attract the kind of person you want to become.

The talent: self-belief

The edge: loving what you do

The drive: a clear vision of what you want

The execution: self-discipline

Respect it when people want to keep a chapter of their lives closed.

Writing is how overthinkers find clarity.

You attract happy people when you are happy.

Inner peace is just the art of being yourself, knowing that you always kept your integrity.

Don’t expect anyone to invest in you if you don’t believe in your own growth.

You can’t become who you want to be if you are scared of facing who you currently are.

Allow yourself to make mistakes, but do your best to not make them.

Good mental health is the reward for good habits.

The Internet can make or break you.

What you choose to consume is your responsibility.

Anyone can stay focused for a few days.

Talented people stayed focused for a few decades.

Life is best appreciated once you have learned emotional control.

Never worry: think ahead and stay calm.

What’s a great book you re-read every once in a while?

The happiest people are probably those who succeeded once, got financially free,

then exited the rat race to spend their time with people they love, doing what they love on their own
terms.

A great conversation involves two people who can respectfully challenge each other’s perspective.

People who refuse to question themselves will keep struggling to build meaningful relationships.

Peace is found in the process of creating something that reflects your values.

@mkobach 👍

Probably more than half of my tweets come from conversations I’ve had with my significant other.

If you take everything personally,

sooner or later,

you won't have a single honest friend around you anymore.

The most common cause of failure is lack of self-belief.

The most common cause of stagnation is lack of initiative.

The most common cause of envy is lack of focus.

You naturally connect with people who seek to become the kind of person you also seek to become.

The smarter you get,

the less often you get offended.

No amount of reading will replace the clarity of the conclusions you reached through experience.

You will never develop a good intuition if you constantly play it safe.

You understand something when you can make it simple.

Writing is the art of teaching yourself how to think.

Too many people misinterpret "just be yourself" as "stay the way you are."

A sign of success:

Rejection is never scary,

because it's never your loss.

Don't chase money.

Chase the best version of yourself.

You stop seeking attention from others once you are focused on your growth.

You trust someone when they deliver on their promises.

You gain self-confidence when you deliver on your own ambitions.

You can regret the opportunities you missed, or you can get ready for the ones that are coming.

Talent is the product of consistency of efforts and intensity of focus.

A happy life:

enough money for accommodation and food,

enough energy for meaningful work,

enough time for people you love.

You can't teach people who don't want to understand.

It’s impossible to succeed if you are envious of the success of others instead of being inspired.
Learn from people who are where you want to be.

Money does buy free time to grow.

You will live an unpleasant life if you try to please everyone.

@doodleninja12 If life goes according to plan, next year !

The highest privilege is to spend all your hours on what you love.

The gap between the life you could live and the life you are living is called focus.

Writing is the art of talking to yourself to discover solutions you didn't know you had inside.

If you don't want to be replaceable,

invest in your unique creativity.

If you don't believe you have such a thing,

fix your self-esteem issues first.

You will never become creative if you spend more time in the minds of others than in your own.

Play the long-term game, consume less.

No longer needing an alarm clock to wake up, that’s the beginning of wealth.

Don’t resent people who did it the smart way just because you did it the hard way.

Every time you meet someone successful,

they tell you how lucky they were,

and almost make you feel like you could have done it too.

Then, you get to know them better over the years.

And you understand how much of their "luck" was actually hard work, dedication, risk-taking.

A focused mind has no space for worries.

People care about you after you care about yourself.

Don’t seek to grow an audience,

seek to grow a personality and your own thoughts.

No one said that becoming a better person would be a comfortable process.

Resist the urge of being rude just because you disagree, that's your inner fool talking.
Money doesn't buy inner peace,

but it buys free time to educate yourself which leads to inner peace.

The quality of your relationships reflects the quality of your own mind.

Use your imagination to create the future instead of worrying about it.

A sign of success is to not feel envy.

If you have a tendency to overthink,

you should definitely write more.

It's another form of meditation.

Kindness is the highest sign of self-confidence.

Don't fall asleep in the comfort zone,

or life will be over in a blink.

Boasting about how little sleep you get isn't very smart.

You find peace once you focus on your life.

Your most valuable assets are time, health, family, and clarity.

You are most attractive when you believe in yourself.

You are most clear-minded when you listen to yourself.

You are most confident when you keep improving yourself.

To be interesting,

focus on who you want to be,

not on pleasing everyone.

Investing = good judgment + patience

Love = trust + commitment + respect

Friendship = honesty + mutual growth

Talent = self-belief + persistence

Self-confidence = effort + achievements

Clarity = reading + writing + teaching

Peace = self-understanding + self-focus

Be impatient with your efforts.

Be patient with your growth.

Success is when you live the life you want.

Stay away from people who don't believe in themselves, there's no way they believe in you either.

You can't grow if you are scared of facing your flaws.

Invest in driven people high in integrity, including yourself.

Short-term thinking can get you rich.

Long-term thinking will keep you wealthy.

You are most attractive when you are owning yourself and being honest.

You are wealthy when you have time to leisurely think.

The more mature you become,

the more you seek beauty in simplicity.

Insulting strangers is a common sign of unhappiness.

Not taking anything personally is a superpower.

To understand the big picture of society: start a company and invest money.

Books are necessary, but insufficient. The dots only connect with skin in the game.

You don't need to justify yourself to people who chose to dislike and misinterpret everything you say.

Creativity is the soft spot between being relaxed and being focused.

Academia is suffocating for independent-minded people.

Even the best teachers can't help students who gave up.

Growth comes naturally when you have high standards for yourself.

Daily walks are a game-changer for your creativity.

There are many ways to escape poverty, but they all involve risk-taking, commitment, optimism, and
efforts.
Trusted friends and loving family are underrated when it comes to their impact on good mental health.

Useful skill to learn:

Staying calm even around angry people

The best aren't copying anyone:

they learned from everyone,

then carved their own independent path.

Getting smarter is the art of reading increasingly more difficult books,

facing increasingly more uncomfortable ideas,

working on increasingly more challenging projects.

People who struggle to build meaningful relationships actually struggle to notice their own negative
vibes.

Intelligence:

- you avoid avoidable problems

- you figured out how to not worry about the unnecessary
- you are self-aware of your conditioning, know what you truly want
- you value long-term relationships
- you are honest with yourself
- you never stop learning
- you are calm

The amount of trust you exhibit reflects the quality of the people you've encountered so far.

People providing value for free are just happy people who already have everything they want.

You are rich when you control how you spend your time.

Detachment leads to clarity.

Clarity leads to better decisions.
Better decisions lead to true wealth.

Detachment is paradoxically how you enjoy life to its fullest.

You learn so much more from people once you seek to understand their perspective instead of
imposing your own.

Don't waste time with people who assume the worst of you.
The depth of your focus will determine the level of your achievements.
No risk, no reward.
No pain, no growth.
No trauma, no depth.
No honesty, no clarity.
No trust, no friendship.
No discipline, no talent.
No commitment, no love.
No investment, no wealth.
No courage, no self-esteem.
No self-reflection, no peace.
No imagination, no opportunity.

The more talented you get,

the less you care about what you put on your resume.

Every time you feel like attacking someone minding their own business, ask yourself what you envy in
them.

You want a life-changing book,

write your own.

No amount of reading will ever replace the clarity earned from self-reflection.

Lack of growth is fear of being judged.

To attract more opportunities,

become a more interesting person.

To build a self-confident mind is to come up with your own thoughts.

You live a private life once you have all the meaningful relationships you need.

Material wealth starts with mental wealth.

Build a better mind, get a better life.

It costs nothing to be respectful,

but it costs you a lot to be rude:

you just don’t notice the opportunities you miss due to people silently avoiding you.

Overthinking is never useful.

Thinking and acting always is.

The most productive people also only have 24 hours a day.

They just know how to focus and manage their time better.

Not making mistakes is the most common mistake.

You can’t build any sustainable relationship with people who don’t try to better themselves.

You don’t need any book to change your habits, you just need to change your environment.

You control your life when you control your habits.

Don't lose a great idea just because you thought you would definitely remember.

Write it down immediately.

Lots of people labeled as "introverts" aren't,

they are just pickier when it comes to who to hang out with.

Many problems can be avoided by simply not reacting to your ego.

Chasing money, love, ideas, rarely works.

Just chase the best version of yourself:

the rest will naturally come.

If you grew up with loving parents,

you were already immensely lucky.

Writing is the art of giving your future self a glimpse of how much they grew.

You grow fastest when you are self-employed because you are fully responsible for your life.

Waiting for the perfect circumstances to start is the most common way of procrastinating.

The most interesting tweets are those you can interpret in different ways depending on which life
stage you are at.

Educated minds discuss ideas of others.

Creative minds discuss their own ideas.

Educated and creative minds change the world.

Better go alone slowly and be right,

than running along the wrong crowd.

The best book you can write is a personal book no one else could have written.

Your audience will find you after you find yourself.

If no one dislikes you,

it also means you are not interesting.

Some people started to fake their success,

pretending to be wealthier or more influential than they are,

because the majority of the population wrongly believes that someone’s worth is determined by the
number of followers or dollars they have.

It’s not.

You stop overthinking the small stuff once you understand the shortness of life.

Consistent growth over the years only requires the courage to spend more focused time alone.

Success is also when you have time to read as much as you want.

Self-confidence is when you don't feel uncomfortable when you hear others complimented about traits
you don't have.

Coming up with original thoughts is hard, because it takes courage to live a truly unique life.

Time to think is the reward for thinking well at the right time.

Feeling uncomfortable means you have an opportunity to grow.

You just need to understand why you feel uneasy.

The highest sign of success:

You enjoy it when others succeed

If you started late, just catch up.

Life ends once you get addicted to comfort.

It's inspirational to be around people who work hard,

not for money,

not for recognition,

but just for the satisfaction of building a better society.

Master self-education.
You become your best mentor.

If you expect “perfection” from someone, the problem is your judging mind.

Keeping up good habits is the art of minimizing anxiety.

You grow faster when surrounded by people who like to think but don't think like you.

You become more talented once financially free because you have time to solely focus on what you
love.

Things easy to do:

Giving up, complaining, criticizing, acting outraged, seeking short-term pleasure, judging people you
don't understand

Things hard to do:

Making a positive impact, making sacrifices, building a loving family, unlearning bad habits,
empathizing and being kind

People who are not who they want to be always dislike the sight of you being happy with who you are.

That's not your problem.

People change.

You change.

Some relationships are just not meant to be.

Some others will always remain:

when they are built on common values.

@omarakhaddaj Some people think I’m making fun of them when I say, “you are stagnating precisely
because you are working too hard, because you are scared of being seen doing nothing.”

I’m an advocate of hard work; people just struggle to understand that the right balance is personal to
each.

Being well-learned is about reading a lot.

Being independent-thinking is about self-reflecting a lot.

Being clear-minded is about giving your mind a lot of silence.

Read, write, rest.

You stop overthinking once you are focused on meaningful goals.

The most impressive people are those quietly focused on their own lives.

Two weeks of focused work can yield better results than two years of constant distractions.

A common sign of unintelligence:

Missing the point on purpose to get offended

You worried about bad grades.

You worried about job interviews.

You worried about never finding love.

You worried about "failing."

None of these mattered much.

You always ended up finding a solution.

Be busy building a better life instead of worrying.

You will get far better results than most if you just possess a slightly better focus.

Without good health, you have nothing.

Never act weak or ignorant.

No one will take pity on you.

Own yourself and choose to grow.

Entrepreneurship is the art of creating what you wish existed.

Very few people genuinely want your success when it's uncorrelated to theirs.

The best thing money can buy:

more time around some people,

less time around some others.

In one sentence:
What is the most important lesson you have learned from 2020?

Internal success is when you have learned to appreciate the simplicity of daily life.

If you are “weird,”

there is still a chance you might change the world.

It takes self-confidence to genuinely compliment others.

Invest in people whose growth consistently astonishes you.

Your life today reflects efforts you started five or ten years ago.

Keeping up efforts today is the art of being kind to your future self.

An idea is worthless if it lives only in your mind.

Help, teach, share.

Life won’t happen according to plan even if you stick to the comfort zone.

You might as well take risks and strive for the life you truly want.

The most important thing to do when you have momentum is to not stop.

The smartest people I know no longer care about money, they will work with you only if they find your
mission meaningful.

Learning from others gets you knowledge,

learning from yourself gets you self-esteem.

One of the highest blessings:

To be paid to do what you love

A beautiful relationship is when two people understand each other effortlessly because they reached
similar truths independently.

Invest in assets with a cult-like following.

A bit of ego can get you started.

Only self-respect will keep you going.

Exercise the body, clarify the mind.

Inner peace always involves independent thinking.

The more self-funded you are,

the more freedom of speech you have.

Rich and confident people aren't running around yelling that they are rich.

To attract more interesting people,

be more ambitious.

Instead of attempting all sorts of mental tricks and manipulation,

you'd be surprised by how convincing you are when you just say the whole truth bluntly.

If they are convinced to be right,

just let them be and move on.

There is nothing you cannot learn once you have learned how to focus.

If you never experimented on different habits and their consequences on your mind,

you don't understand yourself yet.

You don't need a meditation app,

you need unstimulated, quiet time alone.

You want a reason to dislike someone, you will find one.

You want a reason to appreciate someone, you will find one.

You control your mind.

The choice is yours.

People who live uniquely exciting lives all took the risk of "wasting" years on a lonely path.

You will automatically attract interesting people once you work on a meaningful project.

A place to live, healthy food, time with people you love.

These are the best things money can buy.

Anxiety disappears once you've built a mind capable of coming up with new ideas consistently.

You know you can always figure solutions out.

When angry, don't react, sleep it out.

Anxiety is when you spend too much time imagining what won't happen.
Writing more often is the secret of mental clarity.

You no longer seek to impress once you are self-confident.

Working out is the art of getting rid of unnecessary worries.

Miracles happen to people who put in the work.

Writing is the art of noticing your internal hidden truths.

A beautiful life is simply when you live on your own terms.

Can't get love if you're scared of trusting.

Can't get wealth if you're scared of investing.

Can't get growth if you're scared of taking risks.

Can't get happiness if you're scared of self-reflecting.

Most people don't struggle to find the job they want, they struggle to understand what they want.

You don't have to live up to anyone's expectations,

but when someone believes in you,

at least give your very best.

Life never happens exactly according to plan, but you better have one.

Avoid people who don't allow you to make mistakes.

The best investments allow you to become a better person.

If you can change your habits,

you can change everything.

You learn fastest when you don't care about reputation.

Catch yourself whenever you are about to unnecessarily judge.

Do it for long enough:

inner peace becomes second nature.

Treasure what you have when you have it.

Let it go once it's gone.

This is life.

The solution to low self-esteem isn't in the validation of others,

it's in becoming the person you want to be.

Don't sell your time for too cheap.

Some people will just start to take it for granted.

You get your best ideas when you are relaxed.

Self-confidence cannot be faked,

it can only be earned through efforts.

Don't force people to live a complicated life just because you do.

Excellence is when you channel all that energy spent on distractions and procrastination on effortful
and focused initiatives.

Clear thinkers are just people who never lie, especially to themselves.

@lisiwong Being in a position to support people I care about.

Being in a position where I can keep learning on my own terms following my curiosity.

Being in a position to guide the many people who, like my former self, just needed a bit of clarity to
wake up, and find purpose and peace.

Taking risks becomes simpler the day you realize there is no one to impress.

To stop overthinking, take action.

They call you talented because they have no idea how much time, energy, and focus you’ve been
putting in every day.

Signs of wealth:

1) You could quit your job anytime

2) You aren’t geographically constrained
3) You have a loving family
4) You own your time
5) You are clear-minded, calm, confident
6) You own your mind
7) You help people
8) You wake up every day excited with a sense of purpose

It's tempting to respond to anger with anger.

It's smarter to do it with detachment and indifference.

Lead a private life if you want a happy life.

Self-esteem builds up as you build something unique.

Become the person people compliment behind their back.

A sign of self-awareness:

You are able to change your habits

Solutions appear after you take action.

If you have time to stalk anyone online, you need to find meaningful goals.

Surround yourself with people you can respectfully disagree with.

To be happy is to be busy with the right goals.

People who respect themselves don't let anyone disrespect their time.

To see "invisible" opportunities, think differently.

To think differently, live differently.

To live differently, stop seeking validation.

You get more ambitious friends once you are more ambitious.

Talent is just healthy obsession.

@Fadedoyin20 Self-discipline.

The cure for anger is education.

The cure for cynicism is love.

The cure for anxiety is focus.

@SuratWaleHai I started to write because I couldn't find the book I wanted to read, hope mine will fit
my own definition.

Read the books that inspire you to live.

@omarakhaddaj I tend to be optimistic and assume that these people quickly understand that they are
only fooling themselves.

Same with people who think they outsmart others by cheating, lying, copying.
Long-term, reality catches up.

@theramopt @iam__prashanth @TinkeredThinker Pretty sure it will be published some time next
year, because as much as I don't want to rush it, I will have less time to write soon, so I will make sure
to have all my current thoughts crystallized in a proper format before "life happens." ✌️

Your behavior online reflects how happy you are offline.

The smarter you get,

the less you take anything personally.

The end goal of education is to be able to silence the mind.

Forget about being qualified, just start.

Taking care of your physical and mental health is the best thing you can do to maintain high
productivity.

Writing is the art of uncovering what you didn't know existed in you.

You naturally become more ambitious once you realize that society is mostly built by ordinary people
who work hard,

not just a handful of lone geniuses.

Only compete with your own potential of growth.

Guard your integrity or lose inner peace.

@SiriAvalur Thanks !

Will do as soon as I know !🙏

Bright insights come from dark pasts.

The best friendships:

Two people who improve each other's lives

You somehow become surrounded by happy people once you are happy.

You have people who take any criticism personally, and you have people who grow.

Crazy how much you achieve once you start owning yourself.

In doubt, ask yourself what a smarter version of you would do, and do it.

People who want everything immediately get nothing at all.

You can't compete against people who do what they love for people they love.
You will never see someone happy making fun of someone else.

Most people don't fail because they lack talent,

but because they don't understand the rules of the games they're playing.

You are most attractive when you fight for your dreams.

Self-confident people have simply mastered the art of focusing on their own lives.

"Everyone is doing it" is a terrible reason for starting something.

Bigger things will come to you after you think bigger.

A sign of education:

To be calm when most would panic.

You only fear what you don't understand.

It's morning.

You wake up around people you love.

You put in a few hours of deep work.

You exercise a bit, read a bit, write a bit.

One step further towards your goals.

You remain mindful throughout the day.

You appreciate what you have.

Congrats. You are successful.

Don't get discouraged if you get little results despite lots of efforts: life doesn't reward linearly.

This is why "patience is the talent."

Detachment isn't about not feeling,

it's about making the right decision despite misleading feelings.

Knowing when to take a break to avoid burning out, that's part of the long-term game.

A sign of self-awareness:
You stop judging everything constantly

To magnify your sense of urgency,

surround yourself with driven people.

Society is governed by long-term players.

You are least impressive when you seek to impress.

Self-confidence comes from living a unique life.

It’s not anger,

it’s your subconscious saying that you are not the person you want to be,

that you aren’t living the life you want to live,

and that change takes time,

and that the process of self-reflection should start as soon as possible.

Most people think that they need more stimulation to get smarter (including books.)

They don't realize that they actually need to step back with quiet, unstimulated time alone.

A mind squeezed with information cannot connect the dots.

There are a bunch of smart, talented people who never succeed because they are distracted.

Wealth for artists:

time to create

Wealth for parents:

time with their kids

Wealth for students:

time to learn at their own pace

Wealth for scientists:

time to think and experiment

Wealth for entrepreneurs:

time to build

Where would you live if you could stay anywhere?

(Assuming no visa or financial constraints)

Staying wealthy is more about knowing how to invest than how to make money.

You will never be great if you don't have the patience to be average for a while.

Wisdom is just trauma you overcame.

Think in decades, not years.

The calmest people tend to be those confident in their physical and mental strength.

Most people don't change because they believe they can't, not because they can't.

Your next achievement should always dwarf all the previous ones.

Have ambitious goals, you grow faster.

Solutions appear once you take action.

Peace is when you finally understand yourself.

Being good is about what you choose to focus on.

Being great is about what you choose to ignore.

Writing is the art of building up internal clarity.

Life is a bit like cooking:

it won't necessarily taste better because you added tons of random ingredients.

Just add what you need.

Invest in people who fill you with excitement.

To attract people high in positive energy, be one.

Short-term, results are unpredictable.

Longer-term, they are the product of your habits.

You naturally get better results once you think bigger.

Nothing is too complicated,

you just gotta get smarter.

A lot of great relationships involve people who love to spend time alone.

You stop looking for shortcuts once you realize that long-term, nothing beats organic and slow growth.
Working hard is the best sign of humility.

Your twenties are a privileged period of your life when you should take as many risks and learn as much
as possible,

and do it fearlessly,

because no one expects much from you anyway.

The fun part of life begins once you have the self-confidence that you can understand and learn
anything.

A lot of problems can be solved just by removing some foods, some people, and some habits from your
life.

Your bed is most comfortable after a day of hard, meaningful work.

Life always seems brighter after working out.

Envy is your subconscious telling you:

"You are not focused on your life."

@Annilyn_fr Thank you!

I’m finalizing the last few chapters. Then, I’ll take some time off to address a few personal problems,
and I’ll look into the publication process with peace of mind.

Will keep updating “the progress bar” on my profile description.

Should be published next year!✌️

Never take it personally when someone is rude: it takes self-confidence to be kind and respectful.

The happiest moments of your life are the simple ones you spend doing what you love with people you
love.

Around five years.

That's how much time you need to turn your life around, regardless of where you start.

Growth is the art of struggling on the right problems.

Their mistakes aren't your achievements.

Their failure isn't your success.

Focus on your life.

100% of happy people out there are busy:

meaningful job, loving family, self-care.

Respect their time if you want their attention.

Self-confidence is the art of betting on yourself and accumulating wins.

The best relationships involve two self-confident long-term thinkers.

You can't reach your goals if you haven't clarified what they are.

Passive income requires a lot of active efforts.

You want an exciting job that pays well,

you're gonna have to create it yourself.

Time to think is the ultimate privilege.

@dalia_a_garza Yes!

I will include the whole story and how it changed my perspective in my upcoming book.

You aren't ready to succeed if you aren't ready to fail.

Anxiety decreases as self-reliance increases.

Build your own support.

A near-death experience taught me more about life than any amount of books.

The best things don't last.

Be appreciative when you have them.

Financial security is a must in order to express yourself freely.

Always easier to judge the work of others than getting your own work done.

"Home" is where you experience peace.

Don't discard an idea just because you dislike who said it.

It's impossible to stay wealthy if you lack emotional control.

Love requires commitment.

Talent requires commitment.

Wealth requires commitment.

Long-term players are the only winners.

Put yourself in a position where you can deeply focus for a few hours a day,

and your life will be completely different a few years from now.

Self-confidence is the art of walking your own independent path.

Fame is the last thing happy people want.

For any good investment,

you will always wish you had invested more.

Best thing you can do for people you love:

Be happy and full of positive energy when you are around them

Forget about what you could have done if you had started earlier,

focus on what you will be able to do if you start today.

A happy life costs far less than a fancy lifestyle.

Invest as if you were living forever.

Act as if today was your last day.

Long-term thinking, short-term acting.

A happy life starts once you have learned when to not react.

Smart people don't let people they dislike live rent-free in their head.

Competition is healthiest when you mostly pay attention to your own work.

Upgrade your mind, upgrade your life.

Most people lack self-discipline, not time.

Entrepreneurs are just people who decided to earn exactly what they deserve.

Everyone has twenty-four hours a day.

Time management is the talent.

Anyone reading this has access to more knowledge than the wealthiest kings of the past ever did.

Curiosity + learning a little every day.

That's all you need to be clear-minded.

Things taught in a good school:

- self-awareness
- the financial system
- questioning authority
- eloquence and story-telling
- asking questions without fear
- nutrition and healthy habits
- how to nurture creativity
- relationships and love
- long-term thinking
- how to be calm

You don't need to study endlessly before starting,

you can just learn as you go.

Smart people only get offended when you waste their most valuable asset: time.

Life as a long-term thinker is mostly difficult at the beginning.

The patient ones get rewarded.

To earn trust, provide value.

A sign of success:

You love helping younger people getting where you are faster than you did.

Never take offense.

Only understand why you feel that way.

It takes two open minds to have a great conversation.

Many brilliant scientists were wealthy because you need free time to think.

Regardless of how important you think your job is, don't forget to occasionally step back, and ask
yourself whether this is truly the life you want to live.

People love to put labels on you.

That's not your problem.

You will never be understood by everyone.

Focus on understanding your own mind,

then focus on effortless relationships.

You want people to help you,

show them consistent efforts.

You want people to invest in you,

show them consistent results.

You want people to trust you,

show them consistent integrity.

Any goal worth pursuing will take way more time and will be way more difficult than what you initially
thought.

It's impossible to build sustainable, meaningful relationships until you fix your self-esteem issues.

That's when you stop taking everything personally.

That's when great friendships begin.

If you aren't learning something new every day, rainy days are ahead.

The best competitive advantages:

A long-term vision and self-discipline

Motivation comes naturally once you notice how quickly the years go by, and how little time you
actually have.

A sign of intelligence:

You constantly entertain the idea that you might be wrong

Lazy people work hard to be free.

Learning is also the art of embracing uncomfortable ideas.

The smarter you get,

the less you take anything personally.

You either learn to be humble,

or life teaches you how to.

All your worries fade away once you are focused on a meaningful task.

Independent thinkers are just people who enjoy spending time truly alone.
Growth is inevitable once you spend more time observing yourself than others.

It’s embarrassing to not make mistakes.

The journey starts when you realize you don't need anyone's validation.

"Have fun in your twenties" means "learn as much as you can from as many people as you can."

You struggle to grow when you play on easy mode.

Become an interesting person and people will care about you.

The best job rewards you with time to think, time to learn, time with your family.

Problems are disguised lessons and opportunities.

The most impressive people are not trying to impress anyone.

They are just being fully themselves.

Getting angry is much easier than staying calm, that's why most do it.

The best moments of your life are the simple ones you spend with people you love.

Your daily habits define your random thoughts.

You think at your clearest when you don't care about what others think.

Focus on your mind.

Investing in an asset that gives you financial freedom is great, but it's even better when this asset is
your own creative mind.

I see way more people regretting not taking any risk in their twenties than people regretting
challenging themselves.

In one sentence:

What do you wish someone had told you when you were a kid?

It's not that there aren't many happy people,

it's just that they live private lives.

Wealth is simple.

Save instead of buying stuff you don't need.

Invest long-term in valuable businesses, meaningful relationships, yourself.

Avoid most debt and unhealthy habits.

Stay humble on your way up.

Stay hopeful on your way down.

Practice gratitude and detachment.

Talented people simply have a clear vision of who they want to be and the patience to slowly get there.

Life is more pleasant once you are surrounded by self-confident people who don’t need to constantly
assert their dominance.

One of the most valuable skills:

Staying calm when the unexpected happens

One of the greatest blessings:

Being around kind people who are curious about how the world works.

Everyone learns and grows faster.

100% of successful people worked hard.

Doesn't matter whether they considered it "work" or not.

Entrepreneurs are just people who wanted to be free.

Don't expect people who never built anything from scratch to understand why you are doing it.

Anger pretty much disappears once you live the life you want.

You will never see a happy person attacking strangers online.

Success is when you became who you wanted to be.

Luck might get you a one-time hit.

Consistency of efforts gets you a lifetime of hits.

A clear mind has no space for resentment.

It takes self-confidence to be honest with yourself.

You grow faster once you judge others less.

You won't need publishers to write.

You won't need Hollywood to make movies.
You won't need banks to own your money.
You won't need legacy media to broadcast.
You won't need expensive schools to learn.
You won't need corporations to be "successful."

Welcome to the new age.

Lack of growth is just lack of the courage to self-reflect on your failures.

Your mind takes it personally when there is a lesson to be learned.

A decade is pretty short when you work towards meaningful goals.

You don't need justifications,

you need results.

Crazy how many opportunities you get once you get rid of your negative vibes.

No one wants to hang out with someone who constantly seeks conflicts.

Biological life ends when your heart stops beating.

Meaningful life ends when your brain stops thinking and learning,

it ends when your imagination stops wandering and expanding,

it ends when your mind stops dreaming and trying.

Trying to get along with everyone is a good recipe to dislike yourself.

Relationships are simple when they involve educated, kind people.

To be calm is to understand what truly matters.

Opportunities come slowly at first,

then they suddenly compound faster than what you can keep up with.

Your dream life starts once you make other people dream.

A sign of intelligence:

Reading between the lines without overthinking

The ideal school involves self-education.

Don't waste time with people who misinterpret everything you say.

Life is most fun once you've built the self-confidence that you can understand anything.

Invest in people who earn with their imagination.

Your vision gets clearer once you finally think big enough.

You are not struggling, you are growing.

Self-confident people are all calm.

Quiet time alone solves many issues.

Become the thinker you want to listen to.

Disliking the truth won't make it disappear.

Without emotional control,

you are just a kid in an adult’s body.

Important skill to acquire:

The art of disagreeing politely

The rich also get richer because our society rewards people who have time to think and create.

People who want to succeed without anyone else succeeding rarely succeed.

Play non-zero sum games.

Don't shame, educate.

The calmest people I know are working with enthusiasm on meaningful projects.

Well-spent energy = peaceful mind

Time spent on building a clearer mind is never wasted.

Trading is the art of reading emotions.

The worst life mistakes tend to happen when you react emotionally when you could have just let go.

Best habits I picked up over the years:

Reading, writing, fasting, less judging, lifting, avoiding highly processed food, in touch with
family/friends, less reacting, taking walks, being unstimulated, teaching what I was learning, being
mindful, sleeping enough, being optimistic

You only feel like it's too late to start because you are distracted by unnecessary comparisons with
others.

True wealth is when you no longer feel envy.

The more you learn,

the more you realize that "impossible" means "lack of imagination."

You don’t need inspiration to start, only courage.

You don't need a detailed plan of the next decade.

You do need a vision of who you want to be.

You want someone to change,

stop reminding them of their past.

No one cares about who you were a few years ago, it's about who you are today.

Writing every day is therapy for overthinkers.

Be patient with your growth,

be impatient with your daily efforts.

Don't compete in stupid games:

fools always win.

Attractive people are just people focused on their own lives.

Rapid progress often starts slowly.

You can't accelerate on weak foundations.

No one is ignoring you.

Everyone has their own priorities.

The four pillars of happiness

1) healthy body, educated mind

2) loving family, trusted friends

3) meaningful work, long-term goals

4) self-love, self-understanding, freedom

You attract more luck when you're happy.

Good vibes lead to good friends.

Don't become who someone else thinks you should be.

No one can hurt you with words once you have learned to control your mind.

Just like you, the smartest people alive today are still learning as they go.

Become the mentor you never had.

A common wrong assumption was to assume that life was supposed to be easy.

Relax, no one cares about your complexes.

You become far less anxious once you adopt the policy of constant honesty.

No overthinking, no headache.

Nothing more dangerous than fools who genuinely think that ruining someone else's life will make
theirs better.

Many health issues can be avoided just by eating, working out, and sleeping well consistently.

Too many people look down on simple good habits because they are simple.

Adulthood isn't about age,

it's about when you have learned to control your emotions.

You will have some people call you "insensitive" for not being a hypocrite.

Great relationships will appear after you mastered the art of not wasting people's time.

Real life starts after you learned to manage your anxiety.

Never forget the people who gave you the chance to grow.

"You changed."

Thank you.

Invest in people who love to learn.

Become the person your younger self would take advice from.

Underrated skill:

Reading between the lines

Self-respect is defined by your daily habits.

Self-love is defined by how you treat others.

Self-awareness is defined by how calm you are.

Slowly connecting the dots makes you learn faster.

Patience first, speed later.

Write to connect with people who see the world as you do.

Start. Figure things out as you go.

That's the secret.

Persistence becomes second nature the day you realize results don't come linearly.

Impatient people never get wealthy.

Stay away from people who jump to conclusions without thinking independently, it will simplify your
life.

One year of entrepreneurship will teach you more than a decade with a comfortable job.

Your only true friends are those who stuck with you when everything went wrong.

A bunch of entrepreneurs started with no money and no connection, they just didn't make it an excuse.

Build relationships with people who won’t settle for who they are today.

Most people don't even realize they want freedom, not money.

Stop waiting passively.

The system isn't gonna save you.

The virtues of writing

Write to meditate
Write to think better
Write to teach and clarify
Write to connect the dots
Write to define your goals
Write to deepen your focus
Write to understand yourself
Write to create opportunities
Write to connect with the like-minded

Good health is never treasured enough.

Don't waste time justifying yourself to people who lack the experience to understand.

Smart people don’t get offended by facts.

The richer you get,

the more you appreciate a simple life.

Don't expect people who gave up on their own dreams to be supportive of yours.

Life gets much more fun once you believe in yourself.

People who never did what you did always love to tell you how you can do better.

No one ever got wealthy by being scared of taking risks.

Every day you are alive is already a gift.

A beautiful relationship involves two independent minds.

Overthinking won't increase your chances of success.

Better be a late bloomer than not blooming at all.

100% of smart people value their time:

you want something,

get straight to the point.

Relax, another opportunity is on its way.

What’s one great fiction book that changed your perspective on life?

Exercise the body to calm the mind.

A sign of success:

You spend more time with your family than with your coworkers.

People despise you when you're different,

but they suddenly respect you when you're different and rich.

You are successful when you want everyone else to be happy too.

Remember why you're doing it,

and you will find the energy you need.

Build assets that earn you more with increasingly less effort.

It’s not a rejection,

it’s a wake-up call you better take.

You only take offense when you have nothing better to do.
No one trusts people who are emotionally unstable.

You can succeed at school just by repeatedly following the same methods.

You can succeed in life only by repeatedly staying creative.

It's far easier to be "motivated" when you work for yourself.

Truly lazy people work hard in order to spend a lifetime of freedom.

100% of people who started a company were not ready.

Most people could get financially free in one decade.

Most people are also not ready for the risks and efforts it requires.

Big difference between complaining and identifying a problem in order to solve it.

What's a current goal of yours that your younger self would be surprised to hear about?

@michaeljlew Sometimes, you just need to put some distance.

Related:

https://t.co/ZgSwIN9uYO

Be ready to be called arrogant on your way to success.

Better be “selfish,” take care of yourself, be in a position to help others,

than be “selfless,” struggle to pay your rent, be in a position to signal virtue at most.

You don’t suddenly find what you love.

You explore your interests,

you commit to a few disciplines,

you learn to love them along the way.

Invest in people who don't seek validation.

Being unnecessarily rude is a sign that you are not happy.

If you wish you had started earlier:

start today,

or you'll still feel the same in five years.

Happiness is when you have free time to work on meaningful projects on your own terms.

"I don't know enough about it, so I will refrain from any opinion" should be heard more often.

Reading: collecting the dots

Writing: connecting the dots

Teaching: sharing your framework of dots

Taking risks: discovering new dots

Don't just be excited about the future.

Build it.

You don't deserve to be rewarded just because you worked hard.

Working on the right thing is way more important.

You learn much faster when you have to.

The smarter you get,

the less certain you are about everything.

You don't hear much from happy people because they live a private life.

Most drama disappears once you stay away from people who lack emotional control.

The best mentor is a clear vision of who you want to be.

You don't need a book to change your life,

you need a stronger sense of initiative.

Signs of a good job:

- you are having fun

- you keep learning, growing
- you are in a position to help others
- you wake up every day with a sense of purpose
- you feel satisfied when thinking about what you achieved
- you feel excited when thinking about what you will achieve

You will struggle to love anyone if you don’t love yourself first.

Self-discipline comes naturally once you understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

Become who you want to be,

not who society wants you to be.

I wonder what would happen to society if everyone understood the financial system.

You naturally take more risks the day you realize the biggest risk is to live an empty life.

Stay around people who want to learn,

not around people who want to argue.

If you think you are set for life because you did well at school, you are wrong.

If you think you are doomed for life because you did bad at school, you are wrong.

At any time, you can unlearn who you are, become someone else.

At any time, you can screw things up, or fix them.

To build a clearer mind, teach more.

Focus on your life, envy will disappear.

You aren’t responsible for where you grew up, but you are responsible for where you’ll end up.

Attractive people are just people who respect themselves.

Financial comfort isn't the enemy.

Your mind is way more creative when unworried about food and rent.

Talented people don't count on luck.

Drama occurs when people live in the past.

If it’s true, there’s no reason to be angry.

If it’s not, there’s no reason to be angry.

Two types of people

1) those who always have a good reason to stay in their comfort zone

2) those who start and figure things out as they go

The best time to help someone is when they need help, not when you need a favor.

Money alone* doesn't make you happy.

But it's part of the equation of freedom.

The whole world looks brighter after a good workout session.

The real journey starts when you figure out that what you want isn't what society conditioned you to
want.

You won't inspire anyone without a dream of your own.

Real education leads to self-control.

That's not your problem if people assume you are the same person as you used to be.

LIFE

To be successful, be persistent
To be persuasive, be honest
To be knowledgeable, read
To be open-minded, travel
To change, change habits
To be calm, be mindful
To be eloquent, write
To understand, teach
To be wealthy, invest
To grow, take risks
To be loved, give

It takes more intelligence to not react than to react.

Sometimes, you gotta go fast alone because the opportunity isn’t gonna wait.

People invent drama when they have nothing better to do.

The body needs rest after exercising.

The mind needs silence after self-reflecting.

Do both and your growth will never stop.

A useful skill:

Knowing how to silence your own mind.

You get more original ideas when you are free.

People who aren't playing the long-term game cannot understand why you do it.

Invest in people who aren't scared of being different.

People who give up quickly are those who don't understand that results never come linearly.

Nothing happens for years,

then everything just connects.

If your parents taught you the value of efforts, dedication, long-term thinking,

you were already very lucky.

Life ends when you start living on autopilot.

WEALTH

Step 1: you find a job, you save money, you figure out what you want, you start a business, you build
connections

Step 2: you create jobs, you diversify your assets, you keep investing, you help people at scale

Step 3: you are financially free, calm, content

Many of the best investments just involved buying and doing nothing for a decade or two.

I'm sure 2020 taught many people who their real friends were.

You stop feeling lonely once you reconnect with yourself.

Ironically, by spending time alone.

Peace is the art of never taking anything personally.

Don't expect people to understand you:

you barely understand yourself.

You don’t need to be good at everything, only great at a few things.

Growth is the process of changing your mind over and over again, each iteration making you calmer,
stronger, wiser.

Growing old isn't scary.

Facing the fact that you might have wasted time is.

@foxx_do Will definitely give an update before the end of the year! 🙏

Was asked a similar question earlier today:

https://t.co/3fw1uRRh32

@traderHMS I certainly hope so 😂

I'm pretty much done with the writing, but I haven't started to look into the publishing process.

If it's self-published, it'll be out some time next year.

Entrepreneurship isn't a lonely path,

you just gotta find smarter friends.

It's impossible to stay average with self-discipline.

You grow as fast as your tolerance to discomfort.

Relaxed for creativity.

Focused for productivity.

Detached for peace.

You won't find it "risky" if that's your only choice.

You will just do it.

When you have a flexible mind,

starting over isn't scary, only fun.

Being too comfortable for too long will ruin your mental health.

We are meant to be challenged.

You are not rewarded for your efforts,

you are rewarded for how much value you create and how much of it you capture.

You are on the wrong path if you have time to mock other people’s hard work.

Smart people don't get offended when you bluntly tell them the truth.

They only get offended when you waste their time.

People want to grow,

but shy away from challenges.

People want to get rich,

but don't invest long-term.

People want to get loved,

but are scared to trust.
People want to get happy,
but don't understand what it means.

People want self-control,

but never self-reflect.

If you think failing is painful,

keep failing till it no longer is.

If you don't think you deserve to be happy,

it doesn't matter how many opportunities you get,

you always subconsciously find a way to self-sabotage.

Relationships are much simpler when both sides don’t play mind games.

Ironic that strangers can see you for who you are today,

while most close relatives are stuck with their past image of you.

The most effective way to control a population is to not give them time to think independently.

Don't destroy a meaningful relationship just because you have a bad day.

Invest in people who invest in themselves.

You never looked ridiculous,

you were learning.

Daily good habits over decades,

that’s the talent.

You don't even need to go faster,

you just need to be more patient.

Overthinkers start to make sense of society once they realize most people don't think nearly as much.

"Money isn't that important,"

is something only someone who never experienced poverty would say.

Wealth is when you have time to do whatever you want.

Do what no one does,

get what no one gets.

Reality doesn't care about what you think you deserve.

You manage anger much better once you understand its consequences are only mostly negative.

Life doesn’t reward short-lived outbursts of efforts.

Life rewards long-term consistency.

The most successful, happiest people I know are having fun at work.

Just because you're having fun doesn't mean you aren't serious.

You do it because it's the only way to make it sustainable for decades.

Signs of intelligence:

- self-control
- staying humble
- investing long-term
- enjoying the process
- figuring out what you want
- observing yourself objectively
- not taking everything personally
- understanding other perspectives
- expressing yourself clearly, concisely

Change your environment,

change your thoughts.

Change your habits,

change your talents.

Change your focus,

change your results.

We all make mistakes, the important part is to face them, learn from them, move on.

The more you learn,

the less most people understand you.

Sometimes, someone just decides to dislike you, and logic and facts don’t matter anymore.

Failure mostly happens not when people give up, but because life happens.

Just because some people failed you once doesn’t mean you should shut yourself down and stop
trusting.
Confident people flock together,

because it's more fun to be around people who believe in themselves and who aren't constantly
projecting their doubts on you.

It takes intelligence to stop judging constantly.

Not being afraid of being disliked is how you will find yourself.

It's ironic that the more you educate yourself and get closer to the truth, the more you feel alienated
from the rest of society.

If you are not living the life you want,

just learn from those who do,

and realize there is no recipe,

just a combination of long-term efforts, good judgment, constant self-reflection, initiative, and luck.

If you want to be validated by society,

don't become an entrepreneur.

The majority will never understand you.

Most people don't want to see you change because that would make them face their own stagnation.

If you seek reasons to get offended, you will find one.

If you seek reasons to appreciate what you have, you will find one too.

Smart people don’t waste time worrying about what’s unpredictable anyway.

If you are smart, you probably already figured out that most people aren't driven by logic.

If you want someone to change,

a good idea is to stop constantly reminding them of their past.

Don’t force other people to learn it the hard way just because you did.

The worst people are genuinely convinced to be good people.

Pay for an education, not for a degree.

Some people have a hard time accepting that the best thing they can do for someone is to leave them
alone.

When you respect someone’s time,

you don’t play mind games,

you are straightforward,

and you clearly state what you want and how you feel.

A useful skill:

Learning to let go of some people.

Don't try to be perfect.

Just try to be better.

The basics may be boring,

but they lead to a non-boring life.

Most people don’t know what they want, that’s why they struggle to act long-term.

You want to be surrounded with talented people, climb where they are.

It takes intelligence to say “I was wrong.”

Not overthinking, not underthinking, thinking just enough to get things done.

That’s intelligence.

Knowing your own limitations is as important as believing in your own potential.

If you have parents who love and understand each other, you were already privileged.

Your bad days are also when you discover who your true friends are.

You can't connect with anyone unless you are connected with yourself first.

We all think the past version of ourselves was a fool, but somehow, we think the current version is not.

Results follow focus, not just intention.

You have less time than you think.

It’s not lack of talent.

It’s fear of making sacrifices.

You don’t know how important it is until you lose it.

No one cares about your opinion until you show results.

Time to train and compound talent is a financial privilege.

Some mistakes are irreversible.

You just gotta learn to live with them.

People who hurt you most are those you love.

You truly appreciate life only after you almost die.

Most problems are avoidable with longer-term thinking.

Smart people figure out inner peace.

Many people will never notice their societal conditioning, and never understand what they truly want.

Many people will never experience true love.

The people you attract (or don’t attract) reflect your vibes.

School was never meant to teach independent thinking.

Not everyone is capable of changing.

It doesn’t matter how much you learn, you will never feel ready.

Looks matters. Money matters. Luck matters. Way more than what most people think.

There are many hard-working, talented people who still fail.

Most people don’t know you exist and don’t care about you.

Every single person you love will die, or you die first.

Some people will never love you regardless of what you do.

Some people will always love you regardless of what you do.

A thread of uncomfortable truths.

You get the love you send.

A mindset that only leads to failure:

Instead of learning from more successful people,

constantly trying to justify why they were luckier / more privileged / had better connections.

1) In relationships, make sure you share similar values

2) In learning, make sure you've mastered the basics

3) In fitness, make sure your nutrition is adequate

4) In writing, make sure it cannot be rewritten more simply

5) In investing, make sure you have a long-term plan

How much freedom you have today correlates to how good your judgment was ten years ago.

@_BETA1019 @FelineShortcake Just one person.

Solving problems quickly as they arise,

that’s how you avoid being overwhelmed by “life happening all at once.”

Innovation happens when creative minds challenge themselves with difficult goals.

@FelineShortcake From experience, I believe there's no such thing as "being bad with words," you just
gotta spend thousands and thousands of hours reading, writing, editing, and improving on your own
sentences until you feel satisfied, and there's no end to the journey.

How to show respect for people's time:

be clear and get straight to the point.

The Internet rewards people who openly share what they know.

You are clueless when you start.

But you keep it up.

A few months become years, decades.

You get results.

People call you an “expert.”

But you know you are still clueless.

That’s the sign of self-awareness.

Life is pretty peaceful once you are no longer around people who take everything personally.

Health and youth are the highest wealths. Then come inner peace and freedom.

Building an online audience is just about learning in public.

Peace is the art of subtracting the thoughts you don't need.

First step to acquire anything:

to stop pretending you don't want it,

just because you're scared you might not get it.

People scared of the judgment of others don’t grow.

People think they lose respect when they acknowledge their mistakes or change their mind when
wrong.

It’s actually the opposite.

No one has everything figured out.

No one has no struggle or no doubt.
No one owes you anything.
No one is so smart that they have all the solutions to all the problems.
No one can predict the future.
No one escapes pain and suffering.
No one is unable to change who they are.

It’s impossible to succeed if your focus is constantly on other people’s lives.

The propensity to mock people who are trying hard is proportional to one’s own lack of talent.

Money is a byproduct of value creation.

Love is a byproduct of authenticity.

Freedom is a byproduct of talent compounding.

Humility is a byproduct of real success.

No, relationships aren’t complicated when they are with smart, thoughtful people.

The person you think you are.

The person you want to be.

The person you actually are.

You find peace when they are the same.

A sign of unintelligence:

expressing simple ideas in complicated sentences.

Unlearning is even more important than learning.

If you will miss them when they’re gone, give them some love today.
Seek to create jobs for others.

You will be rewarded with many opportunities for yourself.

You wouldn't feel envy if you were focused on your own work.

Just a bit of common sense and a few hours of deep thinking can avoid years of struggles.

Talent follows self-discipline.

@CharlesDeeBlock Thank you ! 🙏

@CharlesDeeBlock I just write down my own thoughts as they pop out during daily life.

Unfortunately haven't had time to read any book for a while since I'm busy with my own, but this is
how I've been feeling recently:

https://t.co/l8PrgZSvwU

Growth is a byproduct of appreciating focused time alone.

Learn from everyone,

but only become yourself.

People will only invest in you after you invested in yourself.

Many entrepreneurs would have never started if they knew how long and difficult it would be.

Sometimes, a bit of ignorance doesn't hurt.

@michaelreo_ Thank you ! 🙏

It takes many years of slow growth before you get many years of fast growth.

Growth starts the day you learn to enjoy creating for the sake of creating.

First, go fast, explore various directions, different mindsets, absorb.

Then, observe your affinities, slow down, narrow down your focus, cut off.

Finally, follow your intuition, iterate on your strengths, stay consistent and patient.

Without emotional control,

smart people are just fools.

Anger is often just disguised fear.

A calm mind = consistently working out

People who don’t grow don’t want to acknowledge your growth.

If you are tired of waiting for uncertain opportunities, just create your own.

Learning is how fear disappears.

The wealthiest people are those who value long-term growth.

The most talented people are those who value long-term consistency.

The happiest people are those who value long-term peace.

When your actions are consistent with your values, you are at peace.

Fake character creates empty friendships.

People who think they are too inexperienced to start are the same who will think they are too old to
start.

Truth is, they just wanted a good excuse.

The best life opportunities aren't gonna wait until you are ready.

Connecting the dots yourself is more fun and fulfilling than any amount of reading.

The four pillars of intelligence:

1) knowledge: read, write, teach

2) intuition: experience, self-reflect
3) instinct: train your senses, be aware
4) imagination: create, solve problems

Signs of a good education:

1) You can stay calm in the midst of uncertainty and pressure

2) You can express complex ideas, including yourself, in simple words

3) You are grateful for what you have

4) You are honest, kind

5) You are self-driven, self-directed, self-confident

Too much comfort also leads to depression. Challenge yourself wisely.

A few words can’t shatter real self-confidence.

Inner peace is a byproduct of honesty.

The ultimate edge:

Efforts even when no one is watching.

The most impressive people are those who don’t care about reputation.

Don't wait for someone else to solve your problems.

Become an entrepreneur and get rewarded.

If you can choose to wake up any time

if you are surrounded by people you love who love you

if you have a healthy body, a calm mind

if you have enough money to not worry about food and rent

if you have a creative job you can do on your own terms

you are already successful.

To get wealthy whilst still young,

leverage the Internet with educated bets that maximize your unique talents.

Infinite patience,
infinite curiosity,
infinite courage.

If you have these,

you can have anything.

Lone wolves make the best friends.

Independence nurtures genuine connections.

An educated mind doesn't mind time alone.

Quite the opposite actually.

To connect your own dots, teach.

You write best for others when you write for yourself.

Growth starts once you figure out how to get rid of the belief that there are things you can't learn.

You will outperform your wildest expectations if you just stick to it long enough.
We are not talking about just a few months or years.

You don’t even need to be that smart to live the life you want.

Persistence and consistency of efforts are much more important traits.

You’d be surprised by what you can get when you just ask politely.

Online anger is just offline lack of love.

To learn faster, have fun.

What's a common piece of advice you are happy you never followed?

The best people to invest in are those who believe in themselves when no one else does.

Intelligence is also about figuring out the sources of your worries, and removing yourself from them
one by one.

Many people wrongly think that “just be yourself” means “stay the way you are.”

A sign of intelligence:

avoiding useless conflicts.

The happiest people I know all overcame serious, possibly life-threatening challenges.

Gratitude is born out of experience.

Impostor syndrome never ends.

You just learn to embrace imperfection.

What most people call "risks" aren't even risks.

We just grew too much accustomed to a false sense of security.

Some people will dislike you for minding your own business.

Don't blame people for not respecting you if you don't respect yourself.

Hope gives you the direction,

efforts and dedication get you there.

Once you understand that even smart and successful people are also just figuring things out as they go,

that everyone started as ignorant fools,

you stop self-victimizing,

you stop blaming your lack of talent,

and you take responsibility for your life.

If you struggle to find inspiration,

you are being too comfortable in your daily life.

Two types of people:

Those who end up discouraged by the first version of their product,

and those who understand that “great” is just about hundreds of iterations.

Focusing on your own life.

That's the beginning of success.

The problem isn’t people ignoring you, the problem is you feeling entitled.

You leave behind most popular entertainments once you understand the value of learning.

Write it down.

You understand what you don't understand.

Long-term thinking is simple once you are the master of your short-term desires.

If you can tolerate the uncomfortable,

if you can endure years of slow growth,

if you can show self-restraint and focus,

life will reward your persistence with freedom.

They grow fast because they question themselves and how they can improve things instead of blaming
others.

Many people think they lack talent.

They actually lack a sense of initiative.

A common misconception:

that the growth of your mind is linear.

The reality:
you struggle for years,

maybe even a decade or more,

then without warning,

it suddenly just connects.

A sign of intelligence:

you understand when and where a statement is applicable.

It’s okay to be full of doubts.

That’s a sign of awareness of the complexity of the reality.

But that’s never a good excuse for not acting.

A common cause of unhappiness:

taking too seriously what isn’t worth it.

Comfort is the enemy.

Manipulative minds see manipulation everywhere.

If you want to convince yourself that you are right, you will.

Smart people seek to understand how they are wrong.

People who want to get offended always find a reason to do so.

People who want to understand always find a perspective to make sense of it.

Your reality is your responsibility.

Teaching people how to create value is more useful than just giving them money.

A walk every morning yields peace.

Once you understand the value of long-term thinking, you never go back.

Too bad it often takes a big loss before people start treasuring what they have.

Attacking people using what they said years ago only proves you aren’t growing.

People who grow are taking risks, making mistakes, and changing their mind all the time.

Build what you want.

Everyone else is busy building what they want.

The secret to outperform your competitors is to do it for long enough.

Don’t grow old without growing up.

Even when you get really good at a stupid game, it’s still a stupid game.

Reading without self-reflecting will only make you more confused.

Pride is a common cause of failure.

You need help, just ask for it.

Intelligence is when you can change.

Confused minds try to make you think you are the one confused.

Some people don't realize they spend their whole life becoming someone someone else wanted them
to be.

Relationship issues are mostly self-awareness issues.

Some people just don't realize how much aggressiveness they project when they speak.

Don’t waste your time explaining things that require experience to be understood.

Not making any mistakes is the last thing you should be proud of.

If you have emotional problems but never spend time alone self-reflecting,

you are clearly not trying to fix them.

Relationships are much simpler once you understand self-love.

A sign of success:

The need to get validated has disappeared.

Sometimes, you try to help someone and they think you’re trying to manipulate them.

That’s okay.

Just stay away from insecure people,

your life will be much simpler.

If you think the whole world is against you, it’s time to stop living in your mind.

People claim they want to grow,

but then they get offended by the truth.

They want fitness with no exercise.

They want clarity with no self-reflection.
They want talent with no efforts.
They want love with no commitment.
They want trust with no transparency.
They want wealth with no long-term thinking.

You want something, pay the price.

Intelligence is the art of applying what you know in order to get what you want.

Distractions aren't the problem,

lack of focus is.

The best relationships:

people who grow together without compromising on their true selves.

They just happen to share the same vision, but would be perfectly happy alone.

The worst relationships:

people who spend their time comforting each other to avoid the truth.

Don’t burn the whole house just because there’s one cockroach in it.

Crazy the number of opportunities you start noticing once you realize that no one will hold you hand,
and that you have to take responsibility.

School might reward fast memorizers,

but life rewards deep independent thinkers.

If a statement doesn’t apply to you,

it’s possible to just move on without reacting.

Stop hiding behind quotes from more successful people.

Stand up for your own thoughts.

If you don't have any, start living.

Big ego and no valuable skills is a bad combination.

Big ego and valuable skills isn't very wise either.

Humility and valuable skills, that's how you reach the top of what you could achieve.

Pretty much no one cares about what you have to say until you get results.

You are scared of everything when you’ve been too comfortable for too long.

Relationships are simple.

Open up. Be fully transparent.

If they reciprocate, there's a chance.

Don't waste time otherwise.

Long-term, you get true friends.

Not sure how we reached the conclusion that sitting on a chair listening to local teachers for seven
hours a day until eighteen years old was the most optimal way to educate kids.

Especially not smart kids who crave freedom.

If you are smart, let them "win."

What’s a book you wish you could re-read for the first time?

If you aren’t ready to leave anyone behind, you aren’t ready to grow.

You are not a “good person” just because you are staying average.

Two smart people discussing find a solution and start building things.

Two fools discussing find someone to blame and start breaking things.

They say “starting is the hardest part” to encourage you.

The real hardest part is the whole ten years of consistency required for success.

It’s ironic that sometimes,

some of the people closest to you are incapable of seeing your growth,

because they can’t unlearn the image of who you once were.

Ego decreases proportionally to success.

Lack of results is just lack of self-discipline.

Smart people don't get offended by the truth.

They are grateful to hear it.

Lack of self-confidence is just lack of risk-taking.

People who grow are just people who believe in their own potential.

If you wait until you have solved all your problems before starting, it’s never.

People think love is for fun and work is serious.

It's opposite. Work is for fun. Love is serious.

Growth is just the art of facing the uncomfortable truth over and over again.

All the wealthy people I know keep a very low profile and live a very simple, private life.

It's usually the middle class who feels the need to show off their expenditures and lifestyle.

That's also why they're the middle class.

People who struggle in their relationships are those who don't think before they talk.

Provide value when you speak, and see how all your relationships flow seamlessly.

Crazy how incredibly peaceful life is when you are only surrounded by smart, kind people.

Some people don’t realize that the best thing they can do for someone is to just leave them alone.

A sign of intelligence is to understand it when you are the problem.

If you can solve the problem,

no need to complain.

If you can’t solve the problem,

no need to complain.

Only fools complain.

Smart people act.

You want attention, provide value.

If you have nothing to offer, start building.

Too many people assume you always have time for them just because you gave it for free in the past.

The most important trait you can cultivate is the courage to push forward.

Two types of people: those who get offended by the truth and those who grow.
The smarter you get,

the lower your tolerance to hypocrisy, mind games, rationalization,

because you value your time.

Many relationships fail because people aren't even honest with themselves, let alone with others.

There is also a pandemic of lack of self-love.

People call it drama, trauma, bad luck,

authors call it writing material.

In doubt, choose peace of mind.

The mind can convince itself of anything, for better or worse.

A sign of intelligence: self-honesty.

Few people are actually capable of independent thinking.

Most people just repeat what they once heard.

@N4su_n @thealexfreeman Thank you!

Not sure yet, will make updates !

The directionless mind can't help but create imaginary problems.

@N4su_n @thealexfreeman That's a pretty long and complicated story, that's what my book will be
about.

@thealexfreeman Observation from my life, like all my tweets.

People who react emotionally are convinced they’re good people, when it’s usually the opposite.

Intelligent people are busy building a better society.

The others are busy criticizing it without doing anything.

You don’t know who your real friends are until you actually need help.

Fix your self-esteem and you will see that the whole world isn't against you.

The secret to not get caught in dramas:

hang out with smarter people.

You won't feel whole until you create something yourself from scratch.
People will help you if you show results.

A common sign of unintelligence:

Misinterpreting a statement in order to get offended.

My parents always tell me, “we were too busy figuring out how to not starve to be depressed.”

Invest in your mind,

your bank account will grow too.

@CaballeRafa Not loving yourself.

Not being at peace.
Not growing.
Not waking up every morning grateful for what you have, excited for what you will do.

Along those lines.

Being too comfortable for too long is the most common cause for failure.

Don't wait for someone else to build what you want.

Life doesn’t care about what you want or how you feel; only what you work for.

My advice to all the students:

go study abroad in a different culture for at least a year or two.

It’s not about credentials,

it’s not about adding “open-minded” on your resume,

it’s about understanding that the world has so much more to offer than what you think.

Admitting when you are wrong is no big deal when you are smart.

If you grew up with parents who let you take initiatives instead of trying to control your life, you're
already pretty lucky.

Many people are actually loved, but can’t notice it, and still feel lonely.

The reason: they don’t love themselves.

Love is invisible without self-love.

The best thing about self-education:

the freedom to pursue your own interests, your own way, your own pace.

Growth is the art of accumulating and overcoming traumas.

If you are right in theory, but wrong in practice, you are wrong.

Reality is the judge, not your mind.

You think you understand yourself until you write about yourself.

If you find learning and growing fun,

good results are inevitable.

They are not smarter,

they just spent a whole lot more time dealing with problems.

Never saw anyone succeed alone.

Surrounding yourself with the right people is the talent.

A common mistake:

Thinking you understand a word just because you know it.

If everyone followed all the rules,

there would be no entrepreneur.

If you are healthy and you have a loving family, food and shelter:

there’s nothing to complain about.

Success is just applied long-term thinking.

Who cares about not having a mentor with the amount of podcasts, interviews, books, free resources
available.

Start. The right people will find you.

Successful entrepreneurs are often just people who didn't mind working for free for years.

You want to stay wealthy,

only invest in what compounds.

Maybe you struggle to find a job because you’re meant to start a company.

Keeping yourself busy with problems you could have avoided isn’t work.
Success is when you can take your time anytime.

Better be ignorant, start, learn on the go; than being a bit knowledgeable, overthink, do nothing.

Don't give advice on something you haven't been able to apply properly in your own life first.

Regularly ask yourself:

"When was the last time I helped anybody?"

A happy life, a vision

1) You tamed your desires, you learned to fast information and food, you live mindfully

2) You consistently exercise your brain & your body, sleep well, have meaningful work on your
own terms

3) You nurture effortless, loving, compounding relationships

The amount of opportunities people miss just because they're afraid to ask.

Building a business is hard because talent alone is far from sufficient.

You also need money, connections, years of persistence, luck, irrational self-belief, support from your
beloved.

The experience though, is priceless.

When they say out of the comfort zone,

they mean living abroad, starting a company, solving difficult problems, learning scarce and valuable
skills.

That's how you challenge yourself.

It's not a lack of clarity of thoughts,

it's a lack of emotional control.

It's impossible to think clearly when agitated.

People tend to hate you when you speak the truth.

They will instead seek comfort in the sweet words of liars.

No, buying a new phone every year won't make you happier.

You rarely see smart people criticize and attack others:

they're already busy solving problems.

Two types of people:

1) Those who take any uncomfortable statement personally

2) Those who ask themselves: "why is it uncomfortable, and why am being so defensive?"

The latter grow and live a happy life.

Most people never understand themselves because they never spend any extended period of time
alone.

We live in a society where the most privileged constantly seek reasons to get offended.

People who spend their time thinking "I am depressed" should try instead to think "I am grateful."

You are responsible for your habits.

The vast majority of successful entrepreneurs are average people who tried much harder for much
longer periods of time.

You are one click away from a completely different life.

The only time it’s smart to panic is never.

Learn to stay calm precisely when life isn’t going according to plan.

You go furthest when you don’t care about going fastest.

If you think smart people rarely make mistakes, you got it wrong.

They are smart precisely because they fearlessly make mistakes and learn.

From courage stems intelligence.

Clarity appears after you unlearn all the noise.

No one ever misses the rat race once out.

Don't blame people for being suspicious.

They grew up in a system designed to take advantage of them.

School telling you how to think.

Media telling you what the truth is.

Industries telling you what success is.

Governments policing and lying.

Of course people would notice.

Happiness isn't about getting what you want.

It's about the process of getting what you want.

You can broadcast to the whole world one important lesson based on your past experience.

What would you say in one sentence?

You learn fastest when you take the time to deeply understand.

Creating is the most meaningful form of entertainment.

Real growth starts once you stop living in your mind.

Entrepreneurs are just people who gave up on waiting for someone else to solve their problems.

Better get rejected, fail, and move on, than spend the rest of your life wondering what could have
happened.

Wealth is just patience applied intelligently.

Diversify your assets.

Diversify your sources of income.
Diversify your connections.
Diversify your foreign languages.
Diversify the books you read.
Diversify your sets of skills.
Diversify your perspectives.
Concentrate on your own life.

People don’t realize how fast a success story can turn into a nightmare, and vice-versa.

Stay humble on your way up.

Stay hopeful on your way down.

All the preparation in the world is useless if you lack the courage to make the jump.

True success comes with inner peace.

If you missed a life-changing opportunity, just get prepared for the next one.

If no one wants to hire you,

just start your own business.

If no one wants to date you,

just focus on your own growth.

If no one wants to teach you,

walk the path of self-education.

The Internet made everything easier.

Become the example you never had.

You learn faster when you don’t have a reputation: you can change your mind and self-iterate more
quickly.

Learn from everything and everyone,

including those you dislike.

You will never see a happy, successful person argue online.

A common way to waste time:

looking for shortcuts that don't exist.

Get educated, not just well-read.

Being a fool when young is normal.

Staying a fool is a choice.

Invest in what makes you wealthy, not just rich.

Take any activity.

Train for five hours every day.

Stay consistent for a decade.

Here comes talent.

Being responsible doesn't mean sticking to a job you hate.

There have never been more opportunities.

Most people are just too scared to even try.

Getting rejected mostly hurts in your imagination.

Better fail on your own terms than spend a lifetime living the life someone else set up for you.

Success is simple.

Break your big goals into small goals,

and finish them one by one.

One year of total freedom,

mostly spent alone self-reflecting,

will teach you more than many years of formal education.

If you play it properly,

life is only getting better as you age.

It's rarely a lack of talent.

It's often a lack of focus.

If you feel the need to be in a relationship,

you need to spend more time alone.

Great relationships appear after you are comfortable with being alone.

Small minds hate the successful.

Average minds envy the successful.

Great minds learn from the successful.

People give up too quickly because they expect linear results.

You will struggle and stagnate for the first few years.

This is when you need self-belief, patience, love for your craft.

You get rewarded at the very end.

All at once.

No one was qualified when they started.

Relationships are suddenly smooth once people stop playing mind games and just say what they think.

It takes a decade to build a clear mind, then you suddenly get “lucky.”

The best thing you can give someone you love is your time.

@dshutchison Exactly. The best opportunities never seem attractive at first sight; most success stories
are about people leveraging serendipity by putting themselves out there, making calculated bets,
following their intuition.

My personal anecdotes will be in my upcoming book. ✌️

A computer, an Internet connection, a curious, driven mind, and a bit of luck.

That’s all you need for financial freedom.

A sign of maturity:

You stop blaming your family for all your issues.

Treat your parents like you want your kids to treat you at their age.

It always looks easy when you're not the one doing it.

What's a book you would recommend and gift to a 10-year-old smart kid? (Fiction and non-fiction
alike.)

If you feel down, go for a walk.

If you feel lonely, focus on your life.

If you feel unhappy, create and help.

Starting early and compounding.

That’s the talent.

If you dislike your life,

just change your habits,

and start working on a long-term vision.

Many people struggle to grow because they aren’t on the right difficulty level.

Hard workouts. Hard books. Uncomfortable conversations.

Taking risks. Meeting strangers.
That’s how you grow.

A sign of intelligence:

You don't get offended over facts.

I think many people underestimate how much time and energy "talented people" spend learning every
day.

Ask any great musician, writer, athlete, developer, investor; it wasn't one hour a day.

Entertainment is not supposed to be a way to avoid facing the reality of your life.

Lots of people think they're having conversations, when they're actually just waiting for each other's
turn to talk whilst listening to their own inner voice.

No one ever got self-confident without taking risks.

Writing gives you clarity.

Working out gives you health.
Reading gives you knowledge.
Teaching gives you eloquence.
Creating gives you satisfaction.
Investing gives you self-control.
Steady efforts give you confidence.
Loving and being loved give you peace.

Do all of the above.

No one cares about what you could have done. Get visible results.

Anyone can stay calm in a quiet room alone, but true mindfulness is only tested in the face of adversity.

Stay calm when it matters.

Stay away from people who always have a good excuse to justify why they make no effort. It's
contagious.

Kids also learn faster because they don't spend their time thinking up reasons why they can't do it.

Success is acquired through initiative and courage, not overthinking.

Knowledge is useless if you don’t have the courage to make any bet.

Hate is born from self-hate.

Love is born from self-love.

Your mind constructs your reality.

Lack of love, lack of talent, lack of success, all mostly come from lack of commitment.

Help people when they need your help, not when you want their help.

Two types of people:

1) Those smart enough to imagine someone else's perspective and to understand that the world
doesn't revolve around them

2) Those who struggle in all their relationships

Never assume someone has time for you if you have nothing to offer.

Every time you tell yourself,

“I can’t do that.”

Also ask yourself,

“Why not?”

Three types of people:

1) Those who have a plan, but don't act

2) Those who act, but don't have any plan

3) Long-term successful people

Talent is just when you figured out how your own mind works.

Hang out with brilliant people who make you feel average, that's how you grow fastest.

Don't wait for people who aren't growing.

Lead the way.

Starting from zero isn't an impediment.

The happiest, most confident people are those who built themselves up from scratch.

The perfect moment doesn't exist.

Your mind is just making up excuses.

Twitter also teaches you to not react to replies that add no value.

Getting wealthy by building a valuable, meaningful business feels much better than getting wealthy by
speculating.
The person who you think has everything you ever wanted is as lost as you are, and is still trying to
figure things out.

If you have money but don’t have peace of mind, you missed the point.

The secret to be ready when everyone’s watching:

work hard when no one’s watching.

Life-changing choices:

1) Surround yourself with people who strive to become a better version of themselves

2) Read uncomfortable books that make you question your perspective

3) Have a hobby reminding you of the beginner's mindset

4) In doubt, choose the more difficult path

I'm convinced that most people who constantly feel irritable and low in energy are actually suffering
from inflammation from an inadequate diet.

Eat real food, your whole life will change.

Your work will never feel completely "right."

Just get a deadline and ship.

One principle for great relationships:

Don't waste people's time.

It's not lack of talent,

it's lack of calm and self-control when it matters.

Nothing beats consistent growth.

Self-esteem increases as you stop trying to please people.

Conversations are about understanding someone else’s perspective, not showing off your knowledge.

A sign of intelligence:

You are comfortable with being alone,

but you somehow attract tons of great people nevertheless.

A lazy mind is just an inactive body.

Move. You will think more clearly.

Don't apologize for being busy.

If a stranger doesn't understand you prioritize your family, friends, meaningful work, or even time
alone,

it's their problem.

Most people judge too much.

They get outside, they complain it's too hot, too cold.

They see a stranger, they say they're too talkative, too quiet.

They work out, they complain they're tired, or thirsty.

Your inner voice can inhibit your actions.

Focus harder. It disappears.

Writing is the art of talking to yourself out loud with a chance of helping random strangers who
overhear you.

When you feel emotional,

give yourself a good night of sleep before taking any decision.

Don't compare yourself with someone your age who started their efforts ten or twenty years ago.

A common mistake:

not making any mistakes during your twenties,

then realizing that you learned almost nothing,

that you are depressed because of your routine,

and that your "safe job" wasn't actually so safe.

The best aren't working for money,

it's about the satisfaction of creating something out of nothing.

It's 2020, and you still have people who don't understand that human beings are the same wherever
they are on the globe.

Playing safe leaves a bitter taste whether you win or lose.

Look at the number of people who haven't tamed their ego, still arguing over being right or wrong, lost
as to what to believe in.

Most adults are just older kids.

Your whole perception of the reality changes after you've built yourself a fit, agile body.

Start something early in life,

keep training consistently every day for several decades.

This is what most people call "talent."

Great relationships are simple.

Just understand that you are not the center of the world, and ask what you can do for people instead.

What's a habit you wish you had unlearned earlier in life?

You are not a "good person" just because you constantly get outraged about social issues. It's about
acting.

If you are still lucky to have your parents, grandparents, or beyond,

make sure you listen to all their stories,

make sure you take notes and understand their perspective.

This is how you reconnect with your roots,

this is how you grasp the value of gratitude, and find peace.

Growth is the art of solving existing problems every day.

Days feel way too short when they’re packed with meaningful moments.

You will never meet someone rich and happy boast about their lives.

They’d rather be invisible.

@AquaAmpersand Become an interesting person, you end up attracting interesting people (friends
introducing them to their friends, etc) to the point where you have to say “no” to most people.

And “being interesting” in my view means living a truly unique journey that no one can copy.
Upgrade the level of your conversations, upgrade the quality of your life.

If your life story is worthy of a book, keep going. Otherwise, take more risks.

It's a bad idea to compete against people who love their job when you don't.

You want life to change,

try to do something different,

something you feel scared of doing.

People rewarded with beautiful long-term relationships are those who used to handle time alone in a
beautiful way.

Signs of success:

1) Time to read, write, meditate, walk

2) Time to discuss, laugh, enjoy the company of people you love

3) Time to learn, train talents, fulfill your potential, create, help society

4) Time to sleep well, work out, relax

5) Time to nurture who you truly are

When you don't feel like doing anything,

go for a walk.

If you wait until you understand perfectly what you’re doing, the opportunity will be gone.

Inspiration and clarity come and go; so hurry and act when they decide to stop by.

Regardless of how much you optimize your diet, your workout, your relationships, or any other habit,

I have learned throughout the years that you sometimes feel down for no reason.

There are invisible cycles of mood.

Sometimes, you just need to stay brave and endure the storm.

Stop stacking up information,

start learning.

Two types of people:

1) Those who think that graduating means you have "finished your education"

2) Successful people

Some people will attempt nothing simply because they are scared of being judged by the world.

Courage is the talent.

@iamfilipe Long-form writing is more complex and harder to do well, and consequently, more
rewarding.

Been working on many drafts for years now, and there's no doubt that my mind today has been shaped
by the process.

Tweets are for fun, writing books is where the real lifting happens.

Writing every day is the cheat code for eloquence.

Twisting someone's words in order to get offended is a common sign of unintelligence.

An ignorant, bold doer achieves more than an overanalyzing thinker.

The faster you realize no one will build your dreams for you, the faster you will get started.

Meaningful conversations with ambitious friends all working in different fields are a great way to learn.

Success is straightforward.

Do what you said you'd do.

Every day. For a whole decade.

@carlesba Yeah, probably one day, this is on my "to-do list" (although not in my short-term priorities.)

The compilation would include the context behind each tweet, illustrated.

Life is pretty peaceful once you are only surrounded by kind, respectful people.

Education is the art of learning how to spend your time meaningfully.

Kindness is the final stage of growth.

If you are the smartest in the room,

teach the room before moving on.

Growth is scary because you lose a part of who you were before you do the upgrade.

Don’t mistake changing your mind often (you should) and changing your principles often (you better
not.)
The assumptions you make about someone mostly reflect who you are.

Two types of people:

Those who never make mistakes,

and those who grow.

Self-confidence is earned through long-term executing.

You want to attract people you can learn from, become someone they can learn from.

A book is never finished, you just get tired and busy with life, set a deadline, get it done, move on.

Build relationships with people who aren't scared of living unpredictable lives.

"Boredom" disappears from your vocabulary once you have fallen in love with learning.

If you aren't ready to forgive people's mistakes, you will adopt the same stance with yours, and you will
never grow as a result.

To get more ideas, write more often.

The only test of intelligence you need:

how you are leveraging the Internet to live a happier life.

You understand what you truly want after you get everything you thought you wanted.

You pay attention to the small things only because you aren’t working on anything big.

It’s quite sad that many people, often in the more privileged parts of the world, conditioned
themselves to seek the negative everywhere.

They imprisoned themselves with a judgmental, angry mind that they no longer control, that prevents
them from appreciating life altogether.

If you love someone who loves you,

and not only the relationship is effortless, but is also only growing more beautiful,

you already won the lottery.

In doubt, choose long-term peace.

People will sway you into fighting for their dreams.

Don't lose track of your own vision.

Think for yourself.

To be attractive, just take the initiative.

No one owes you an explanation.

No one owes you their time.

No one owes you anything.

Don't be scared of contradicting yourself.

As circumstances change, as you collect more information, your views naturally change.

It's a sign of growth.

Life is much more fun once you have learned to control your thoughts.

Being able to brush away the negative side of your inner voice is a superpower.

Just stop thinking about what you want or don't want to do, and just do what you have to do to get
what you want.

Getting fluent in a foreign language is a great exercise to overcome your fear of mistakes.

They are inevitable. Stop worrying: smart native speakers won't make fun of you, and you can ignore
the others.

Five or ten years later, you will look back, satisfied: this is growth.

You won't get fit and confident in just a few days.

You won't build a successful business in just a few weeks.

You won't get skilled and talented in just a few months.

You won't be wealthy and loved in just a few years.

Get ready. It takes more time than you think.

Principle:

I only care about disagreements coming from friends, aka people who want my success and happiness.

Everyone has an opinion, you better be selective as to who to listen to.

A great day starts with a walk.

Talent without character won't take you as far.

Have a goal and start walking.

Worst case, you don’t reach it but grow.

Best case, you completely overshoot.

@prakash_now All my tweets are from personal experience.

It just unfolds in unexpected ways ; for instance, a random couple that my dad helped once, that ended
up completely changing my life (positively) three decades later.

You understand an idea deepest when you come up with it yourself.

Doesn’t matter if someone else already did 500 years ago;

it’s about exploring and thinking independently.

Karma works, but on longer timeframes than what most people think, and it’s intergenerational.

The best time to invest in someone is when no one believes in them yet.

A decade of hard, smart work.

The rest of your life free.

That’s a great deal.

You are educated once you are confident in your ability to learn anything.

What most people call risks aren’t risks.

People just got addicted to comfort and the illusion of stability.

Write like no one is reading and some will.

It takes imagination to understand what it was like for your parents to raise you.

That’s why some people never get grateful.

If you feel guilty for not doing it, just do it.

If you have an interesting life story,

write it down and publish.

You might help more people than you think.

Train your body.

Your mind will silence itself.

Peace.

If you don't give yourself a deadline, life will.

You grow fastest when you aren't distracted by the growth of others.

Real leaders didn’t want to be leaders, they just got tired of incompetence.

If your success requires you to feel like you're "above" someone else, it's not success.

Seek reasons to do things instead of reasons to not do them. You'll be happier.

Don't focus on getting a job.

Focus on building valuable skills.

If you have time to argue online with strangers, question your current routine.

Get rid of people who monitor your mistakes. They aren’t growing themselves.

Great moments in life.

1) Quietly reading a great book

2) Traveling with someone you love
3) Figuring out your purpose
4) Getting rid of lifelong anxiety
5) Connecting the dots, thinking clearly
6) Creating something that helps people
7) Being at peace, happy for no reason

People don't even understand themselves, but always assume they understand you.

Self-discipline stems from purpose.

When you know why you do it, you do it.

Doesn’t matter where you come from,

life is about where you are going.

Succeeding is just about not getting discouraged no matter how many times you fail.

Everyone wants to be a clearer thinker,

few spend several hours every day alone self-reflecting and writing.

Some people mechanically hate what's popular just because it's popular.

@mizzharty Exactly.

Think about people you love, not those you dislike.

Smart people have learned to not react.

The others jump on any occasion to get mad.

Just because I don’t care about what you care about doesn’t mean I disrespect you.

Money doesn’t buy happiness,

but it certainly buys some time to get educated and to figure out your own happiness.

You are happy when you take care of people you love.

Smart people figure out how to stop worrying about things that don’t matter.

Any fighter knows you are stronger when you are relaxed.

Any trader knows you are smarter when you are relaxed.

Any writer knows you are more creative when you are relaxed.

Relax. You'll get better results.

@Kieferrrrr @VioletaML2 Pretty long story, but this one will be developed in my upcoming book. :-)

Set clear boundaries.

Be unapologetic about them.

@VioletaML2 Happened to me during a period where I was pretty unconfident in most areas of my life.
A "successful" person I respected looked at me in the sincerest way and told me, "I'm looking forward
to what you're gonna do in the future."

It's crazy how one person believing in you can completely change your life.

@marksuski The reason why I’ve been writing. I am assuming “some clarity” fades away depending on
how life unfolds.

@Raj_Kataria__ That's why I am, and will stay, anonymous 😂

What's something you can truly understand only after you experienced it yourself?

Make mistakes even when people are watching, because no one smart will remember.

They’re busy creating their own success.

Luck alone can get you rich.

Luck alone can’t keep you rich.

Active body, learning mind, happy life.

Don’t wait for someone to come and save you, motivate you, teach you.

Help people, and help will come.

You don't know where to start?

Rest assured.

People who "made it" didn't know either.

A sign of intelligence:

being able to contradict yourself from a bunch of different points of view,

and still be able to execute your one vision.

Loneliness disappears once you know you are loved and needed, even just by one single person.

Even the smartest people occasionally get caught in stupid decisions.

The key is to not do it too often.

Hard to blame anyone when you understand where they come from.

They are not obstacles.

They are the stairway to growth.

Success is when you live on your own terms.

Avoid boring work.

It compounds anxiety.

Because you know you aren't growing.

People who think anger is cool have been watching too many movies.

In real life, you just highlight your immaturity, and happy people just cut you off without justifying
themselves.

Books are intergenerational investments.

Luck loves people with good vibes.

@DominicFernan11 It's quite the paradox, but in order to have healthy relationships with others, you
have to occasionally gift yourself time alone.

@guy_productive You can learn this even earlier if you grew up with a lot of health issues 😅
@OneJKMolina I call it, navigating more efficiently in the depths of ignorance 👀

The more you teach,

the more clearly you think.

Ego disappears once you get a real education.

@kface555 I heard the stories from my parents 😅

Thank you !

Principle: help people who help people.

It’s impossible to think clearly if you never spend any time alone.

Creative jobs are actually the safest jobs.

You better not be “normal” in a crazy society.

Don’t boast about solving problems you could have avoided with longer term thinking.

Choose kindness over anger.

If you enjoyed it, time was well-spent.

The Internet + desire to learn = success

Some will dislike you whatever you do,

so you better stick to your values,

otherwise you will dislike yourself too.

@unico10amor I actually have a similar mental habit for decisions that matter. Asking myself, "What
would future me say?"

Everybody worries about trivial stuff and takes their health for granted until reality sends its reminder.

Important skill to learn:

The ability to make the right decision on the spot.

The answer to a lot of "why?"

is "you'll get it once you do it."

Don't live in your mind, experience life.

A happy mind is a mind that keeps growing.

If you don’t start today with your constraints, you won’t start either when you are free.

The mind always has a good excuse.

Even the most talented people were cringe when they started.

You just need to keep going to grow.

Nothing better than a job where you get paid for results, not based on subjective validation from
others.

Hard work is how you stay relaxed.

People full of pride and ego are easily manipulated.

Learn to never take yourself too seriously.

Entrepreneurs are people who choose to improve society instead of complaining.

A comfortable job kills growth.

You are successful when life feels like an exciting game.

Work ethic is the talent.

@SoGKarti Teach at different levels.

There are a lot of perfectionist, smart people, who end up achieving nothing.

There are a lot of fearless, self-iterating average people, who end up very successful.

Action beats ideals.

The wealthiest people are all long-term thinkers who create value or invest in the right people.

You compete best with others by competing with yourself.

What's the most positive habit change you've made in the past five years?

If no one understands what you’re saying, you aren’t as smart as you think you are.

You only fail if you keep making the same mistakes.

Otherwise, it's called learning.
