@valigo I feel like people underestimate programming at home to get experience. I know it’s not quite production-level, but you can get pretty far on your own.
I can't express how lucky I was to have spent my formative years with an internet that was shaped by >110 IQ nerds instead of third world content farms struggling over 5$ of ad revenue
The reason you’re unhappy is that you haven’t found the right thing to buy. There’s something out there you can purchase that will make this all go away
I don't give a fuck if you've lost every job and nobody likes you and you're 39. You're not even at halftime. You're just losing right now. You're not a loser.
Sam Altman calls it the most common failure pattern in Silicon Valley:
"I'll make $100M in 4 years, THEN build rockets."
they never do either.
> everyone can tell you're not serious about either one
> investors sense it, employees sense it
> people of any IQ have amazing bullshit detectors
> if you want rockets go build rockets. today. someone
> will pay your salary
the deferred life plan empirically does not work.
still, half this app is running one right now.
Is The Rizzler the first child prodigy for having chill vibes? It’s like his dad recognized nah he can’t play violin or nothing like that, but he’s good at hanging out.
Deciding what to eat is what makes you fat.
After 900+ clients: the winners pick 3-4 meals and never think about it again.
Here's the list:
1. Chipotle
8. Your body feels stressed around them.
Constant anxiety.
Walking on eggshells.
Always preparing for the next argument.
Your nervous system notices problems before your mind does.
3. They constantly test your boundaries.
"No" isn't respected.
Your time isn't respected.
Your values aren't respected.
Healthy relationships don't require you to defend your boundaries every week.
Tom Brady reveals the brutally honest talk he had with a Michigan sports psychologist that turned him from a benchwarmer into the GOAT.
Brady's transformation started with one change: the way he thought.
"I sit on the bench my first year, and I really had—I would call it—a lot of self-defeating attitudes and behaviors. I always had an excuse. 'Coach doesn't want me in there.'"
"I had a sports psychologist. His name was Greg Harden. I would go into his office every Tuesday, and he would say, 'Tom, I like you. You work hard, but you have a shitty attitude.'"
"'How about you start worrying about what you can control and stop talking about the other quarterbacks, stop talking about the coaches not putting you in.'"
"If they give you three reps, you do the best with the three you get. Quit bitching about you only getting three or you going in there with the backup receivers. No one cares.'"
"'You treat practice like it's a game. If you throw a touchdown in the two-minute in practice, you celebrate like it's the game.'"
Brady never approached it that way before. Then "sure enough" everything changed.
"Mmy energy started getting way better. I was bringing juice; I had the right attitude."
"Then all of a sudden, I'm bringing the juice, man. Every day, boom."
"That [mindshift] really helped me get better."
The road to 7 Super Bowl rings didn't start on the practice field; it started in that very office…
no one tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain to allow amazing things to happen after experiencing so much trauma or pain. blessings exist, good people exist, and a softer life exists,
let it happen.
Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it's within your control, go do something about it. If it's not, you're just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.
