Tatakae.

this is exactly why the first thing you should do every morning after you wake up is to tell yourself how lucky you are to live the life you live that your day will be full of wins, and everything will work out in your favor that simple act is all it takes to witness magic

Repetition rewires the brain. Repetition rewires the brain. Repetition rewires the brain. Repetition rewires the brain. Repetition rewires the brain. Repetition rewires the brain. Repetition rewires the brain.

“But the curse of every ancient civilization was that its men in the end became unable to fight. Materialism, luxury, safety, even sometimes an almost modern sentimentality, weakened the fibre of each civilized race in turn; each became in the end a nation of pacifists, and then each was trodden under foot by some ruder people that had kept that virile fighting power the lack of which makes all other virtues useless and sometimes even harmful.” -Teddy Roosevelt

Although Gollum drove me nuts throughout the LOTR, his character represents something beautiful. He's the picture of what sin does when you hold onto it for a lifetime, when you refuse to let go of the thing that's destroying you. You don't die dramatically. You just slowly become unrecognizable. And yet, Tolkien's mercy shows here. Bilbo could've killed Gollum. Frodo could've killed Gollum. They both chose mercy instead. And that mercy - the one that made no strategic sense, that looked like weakness - is the exact thing that saved the world. The Ring wasn't destroyed by strength. It was destroyed by mercy.

When you burn the bridge behind you, you either build something worth the fire or you learn what you’re made of in the ashes.

@nntaleb So awesome to see this in action. Currently reading your Skin in the Game

That's how minority rule starts. Anything connected to z1on1sm becomes perceived as impure.

The simplest rule to blow up your income, followers, etc.. EVEN when you have no idea what your doing is : "Always Produce" Paul Graham taught me this, and it changed my life. overthinking, feeling sorry for yourself, or anything that is not producing will always get you nothing. If you don't know what to produce ( this is normal ) then just produce anything. the act of producing will naturally guide you to what you should be producing. The MORE you produce, the better you get at producing and learning what you should produce. This is painful because you feel like you are wasting time, and just creating non-sense until one day you produce something that thousands of people love and it changes your life.

@DubstxP Christmas is around the corner

Hello? Why is the Philippines cold right now in this time of the year????

Get your dopamine from production, not consumption.

Your A-Grade trading setups can also work like this, btw

your brain works against you until you develop the skill of inducing, on demand, a self-simulated near-death experience in your mind to remind yourself of what is truly important and see through all the bullshit that’s enveloping your cornea.

@hvgoenka might just need some minor improvements

Can this be a solution?

• be Morris Chang • survive WWII in China, escape to America in 1949 • go to MIT, fail the PhD qualifying exam twice • decide academia is a trap, join Texas Instruments • spend 25 years climbing the ranks, building their entire semiconductor division into a global powerhouse • get passed over for the CEO job because of corporate politics • 1985: you are 54 years old. Most executives are buying golf clubs and preparing to retire. • the Taiwanese government begs you to move to a tiny island and build their tech sector from scratch • you look at the global chip industry and see a massive, glaring inefficiency • the industry rule at the time: "Real men have fabs" (if you want to design chips, you have to spend billions to build the factory to make them) • Chang realizes: "What if a factory just prints everyone else's designs, and promises never to compete with them?" • 1987: founds TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) at age 56 • invents the "pure-play foundry" model • traditional hardware giants like Intel and IBM laugh at him for just doing the "dirty work" • suddenly, a guy named Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) and companies like Apple realize they can design world-class chips without spending $10 Billion on a factory • TSMC single-handedly births the entire "fabless" technology industry • scales the physics down to the atomic level, printing circuits smaller than a biological virus • becomes an absolute, unbreakable monopoly on advanced human technology • accidentally builds a "Silicon Shield" around Taiwan • the US and China both realize that if Morris Chang's factories go offline for a single week, the entire global economy (smartphones, fighter jets, AI, car manufacturing) instantly collapses • steps down, comes out of retirement at age 78 during the 2008 financial crisis to ruthlessly fire the CEO, doubles R&D spending while everyone else is panicking, and permanently crushes Intel • 94 years old, smokes a pipe, plays competitive bridge, and controls the single most important bottleneck on planet Earth "We do not compete with our customers. We are everybody's foundry."

It's not like I doubt, it's more like ... uhm, what's the plan? What do we do? 😂

Judgement of Cambyses The one being flayed alive is the corrupt Persian judge, Sisamnes. It is meant to encourage honesty among the magistrates and judges. In the same manner, I do believe death penalty should also be reserved for corrupt and incompetent judges.

Good morning/night
