Stopping the economy is one thing. Restarting it is another.

@MarkBartels Getting fired is also so powerful because the two things you thought would happen, don’t. You don’t die. The world does not end. Once you know this. You are free.

@170708_b He did die. Every fish that tried that has died. There is no way through.

Knowing when to arrive is not as important as knowing when to leave.

@MarkBartels It also has to do with acceptance of defeat. There is a chance it means what we had, is gone. In Beijing they have lived like this for decades. We thanked god it was not us. Now it is us and we don’t want it to be.

Sheeple People markbartels.org/2020/05/13/she…

There are few things crueller than finding something good, too early or too late.

@MarkBartels Nobody knows the truth even now. Who knows how this ends.

The truth 100 years from now markbartels.org/2020/05/12/the…

Two most valuable traits: when you are young, patience. When you are old, energy.

@MarkBartels Looks good but there is a big risk in the NZ and Aus approach. With no herd immunity it takes just one infected person to shut the whole country down. South Korea just learned that.

@LobWedge I did the same to the numbers on my score card but down instead of up. Feeling really good right now.

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded my old irons. So excited! #modernspecs 💪

@HubbuckNadia Not sensible at all. Only now quarantining new arrivals while we have been locked up all this time? Criminal.

#BorisJohnson So work from home if you can, go to work if you can’t but do not use public transport. WTF??? How people who live in suburbs miles away from the city center supposed to get to work...

@TrevorImmelman @MattBarrie Except Pizza right?

@MattBarrie My son is the same, I’m complete opposite, I warm everything up.

Good afternoon. I will eat 99.9% of leftovers cold.

@TheStoryOfPain Dr Sarno’s book may just be one of the most important books of all time. No exaggeration.

Well this is so nice

@MarkBartels Smoke that thunders.

@themanslife I have always been an athlete but running used to cause injuries. Knee and groin mostly. Then I learned how to run properly. Since then zero injuries, feel amazing. Learn to run properly before rejecting it. This book helped me: Born To Run by Christopher McDougall.

Fan to Tiger Woods: “If you had one thing you could go back in time and tell your younger self, what would it be?” Tiger: "Not run so much. Running over 30 miles a week for probably my first five, six years on Tour pretty much destroyed my body and my knees.” Jogging sucks.

@tinytempest You’re not a real writer unless you have something special to do that you have to do.

It's Sunday, let's have fun. Type: You're not a real writer unless you... Then let autocorrect complete the sentence.

@_youhadonejob1 I’ve covid antibodies.

Do people that leave law/finance/consulting have to say they’re a “recovering ________”? I assume that’s a mandate somewhere

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. D. H. Lawrence

@MarkBartels A river, ran through it.
