delusional optimism is the only way out. most people lose before they even start because deep down they already convinced themselves it probably won’t work. they look at the odds and the competition and they try to be more practical and slowly talk themselves out of their own potential. but the people who end up doing insane things usually have one thing in common. they were delusional enough to believe they could actually pull it off before there was any proof. that’s the weird power of delusional optimism. it makes you keep going long enough for reality to eventually catch up to your vision.
i just can’t understand why you all are this realistic with your dreams. why you only allow yourself to want things that feel achievable from where you currently stand. every massive success story ever sounded delusional in the beginning. every athlete, artist, entrepreneur, creator, all of them had moments where nobody around them understood the vision. people laughed at them. doubted them. told them to be practical. but they kept going anyway because they were obsessed enough to trust something nobody else could see yet.
i mean just think about it. you are alive and here in this world. the odds were already impossibly slim. you exist on a planet floating in infinite darkness where trees communicate underground, where dead stars became the atoms in your body, where creatures glow in the ocean without sunlight ever touching them. your own brain is made of electricity and somehow produces dreams, memories, ideas, emotions. everything about existence sounds insane if you really think about it deeply enough. so why do people suddenly become “realistic” or “practical”the moment it comes to their own potential? there is nothing realistic about being alive in the first place. so be delusional, that’s the only way out.

the wonders of compounding becomes visible when you pick a skill, get just a little bit better at it every day, and then realize years later that people come to ask for your expertise on that same topic
that is essentially what you sign up for when pursuing high intensity careers like banking and private equity
you get worked a ton, but start to build expertise through sheer reps. after working on 10 deals, the eleventh one starts to make a little more sense. after spending time on 4 deals in the same sector, the fifth one becomes a little easier to underwrite
after enough time, young analysts and associates come to you for advice. Clients and PMs start to value what you think and rely on you for decision making
it is probably the most satisfying part about pursuing expertise in something. all about watching your own skillset compound over time

Everything that matters most in life will sometimes bore you.
Your marriage will bore you.
Your career will bore you.
Your kids will bore you.
But boredom isn’t a sign that you chose wrong. It’s a signal that you have chosen to make something more important than your own momentary pleasure. It’s the hidden fee that comes with purpose and meaning.

4 yıllık ilişkimi bir anlık öfkeyle bitirdim.
Aslında ortada gerçekten büyük bir sebep yoktu. Aldatma yoktu, yalan yoktu…
Sadece son zamanlarda her şey sıradanlaşmıştı ve ben bunu sevgisinin bittiğine yormuştum.
Bir gece uzun uzun tartıştık. Bana “biraz sabretsek düzelir” dedi.
Ama ben dinlemedim… Gurur yaptım.
“Yoruldum artık” deyip çıktım hayatından.
İçimde hep bir rahatlık vardı aslında.
Nasıl olsa geri döner diye düşündüm.
Çünkü hep öyle olmuştu…
Ben susardım, o konuşurdu.
Ben giderdim, o kal derdi.
Ben vazgeçer gibi olurdum, o tutardı elimden.
Ama bu sefer… hiçbir şey olmadı.
Ne bir mesaj, ne bir arama.
Sanki gerçekten gitmişti.
İlk başta güçlüymüş gibi davrandım.
Güldüm, gezdim, hikâyeler attım+++
