The devil doesn’t rob you, he tempts you. He buys your dreams for glitter and dust. He has no use for your soul, but by taking his offer, you give yours away. And you have no one to blame but yourself.

working theory: the secret to life is having an investment in the future. starting a movement. having a child. joining a moonshot. mentoring someone. tackling existential risk. it forces you out of the radical individualism popular today, and into the collective duty we all need.

Balaji Srinivasan on what he looks for in the founders he backs “You’re really looking for people who are very fast, very resourceful, very positive… And obviously high intelligence, work ethic, all that type of stuff, but I think the positivity thing [is really important].”…

“It doesn’t get easier,” Shyam said. “You overcome each challenge, and your reward is that you get to be here tomorrow for the next one.” Palantir has been an overnight success, it only took 19 years. Showing up every day, and coming back the next. Mind of a champion. 2/2

Bad luck, car crashes, maybe you cash out and miss on gains. A lot of tragedy is going to come your way. Wish it were otherwise. Why it’s this way is one of the mysteries of life. You gotta stay in the game tho. Eventually it works out - even if not on the timeline we want.

The average man you grew up with by the time he is 30 will have sold out on the cheap for his "safe" 9-5, live for his alcohol-fueled weekends, put all of his hopes and dreams into politicians that hate him and sports stars that don't even know him Don't let that be you

You can get to the top 5% in life by simply grinding. War of attrition majority quit their biz by year 3, stop working out by 30, give up on all their dreams by 35 (majority 25) Win by staying in the game

People are always looking for a single magic turning point. There isn't one. It’s much more of a gradual getting better and better and better and better.
