Every piece of fitness advice I could come up with after 7 years in the gym: 1. Stop drinking alcohol.

@amandaripley Hi Amanda! I just finished your book ‘High Conflict’ and wanted to say thank you. An incredible read, I learned more than I expected. Your book hit me in the exact right spot at the right time in my own life. That’s what makes a book truly special. Thank you!!

7 short rules for a better life: 1. Wake up early 2. Don’t watch the news 3. Listen more than you speak 4. Don’t suffer imagined troubles 5. Think progress, not perfection 6. Strict with yourself, tolerant with others 7. See opportunities where others see obstacles

@wideawake_media @ConceptualJames Interesting. I don’t like the idea of that guy… but regardless of feelings these advances in technology are/have always been headed straight for us. It’s almost inevitable, unless you unplug… but there will always be someone plugged in and advancing. What we do as humans.

Real-life bond villain and founder of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, has decided that we "have to get used to" a total erosion of privacy: "If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be afraid." I don't remember anybody electing this clown the de facto dictator of the world. Do you? #KlausSchwab #WorldEconomicForum #GreatReset

@JoeBiden Why is this a priority?

We’re proposing a new rule later this year to make it mandatory for all U.S. airlines to compensate you with meals, hotels, taxis, rebooking fees, and cash miles or travel vouchers when they’re the ones to blame for cancellation or delay. It matters for hardworking families.

In the back of a comedy club, a struggling comedian got a chance to talk to Jerry Seinfeld. He said he’d been struggling and sacrificing for about 10 years to “make it” as a comedian. Approaching his 30s, he was worried he’d taken the wrong path. Seinfeld gave him this advice: “This [pointing at the stage] is such a special thing,” Seinfeld says. “This has nothing to do with ‘making it.’” “But did you ever stop and compare your life?” the struggling comedian says. “I see my friends, and they’re making a lot of money. They’re moving up. They’re all married. They’re all having kids. They have houses. They have a sense of normality.” Seinfeld makes a disgusted face and then says, “let me tell you a story. This is my favorite story about show business.” “Glenn Miller's orchestra is doing a gig...They can't land the plane because it's winter, a snowy night—they have to land in this field and walk to the gig. They're dressed in their suits. They’re carrying their instruments. They’re walking through the snow—it's wet and slushy. And in the distance they see this little house…They go up to the house and look in the window. Inside they see this family. There's a guy and his wife—she’s beautiful. There's two kids, and they're all sitting around the table. They’re smiling. They're laughing. There's a fire in the fireplace... These guys are standing there in their suits. They're wet and shivering, holding their instruments, and they're watching this incredible Norman Rockwell scene. And one guy turns to another guy and goes, 'How do people live like that?' That's what it's about.” Takeaway 1: Comparison, it is said, is the thief of joy. James Altucher has written about a cure for comparison. Usually, when we compare ourselves to someone, we compare ourselves to a select few aspects of their life (their house, their good looks, or their professional success, etc.). Instead, James writes, “picture that you can change places in every way with them. But then it’s forever...Would you do it.” Usually—as Seinfeld’s story illustrates—the answer is…no, you wouldn’t want their whole life. Takeaway 2: One of the differences between Seinfeld and the struggling comedian is the way in which they view comedy. The struggling comedian sees comedy as a means to some end—there’s some amount of money or celebrity that would make him feel like he “made it.” For Seinfeld, comedy is an end in itself. “[It] has nothing to do with ‘making it,’” as he said. For Seinfeld, as Ryan Holiday once told me, “The work is the win.” - - - “The set I get to do tonight at 7:20 PM is the win. I get to do comedy—I won. It being predicated on doing X or being bigger than Y—no, no, no. To me, it’s always just been about the work. I’m on house money, full-time.” — Hasan Minhaj Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!

@elonmusk What does that mean

4/ Buffett said, "If you want to know how to live your life, write your obituary and then reverse engineer it so that you can live up to it.

@JoeBiden Honestly… what are you talking about? I’m trying to find a way to believe this… but it isn’t true. Where I live, there hasn’t been any slowdown of increasing prices, gas, very few things are reasonably priced.

Inflation is now down 40% since last summer, and it's come down the last nine months in a row. We have more work to do, but we're trending in the right direction, and we're making real progress.

@MAGARIFFIC2 @JoeBiden Not arguing, just interesting.

I've never been more optimistic about America's future. We're on the cusp of major change. We're creating jobs again. Manufacturing has come alive again. More people can afford decent health care. We've got to keep it going. Let's finish the job.

@MAGARIFFIC2 @JoeBiden What’s interesting is ‘make America great again’ was also Reagan’s.
