@paulg The reason nerd friendships tend to last decades is that they’re built on shared interests, not social performance.

Even though nerds are socially awkward, its actually easier to hang out with them than with smooth people, because standards are lower. You don't worry that you might be making social errors; all of you always are; so it stops mattering.

@RobertGreene Most of the worst decisions in life aren’t made in neutral states , they’re made at the peaks and valleys of emotion. Success breeds overconfidence. Anger breeds regret. Fear breeds paralysis.

When you have success, be extra wary. When you are angry, take no action. When you are fearful, know you are going to exaggerate the dangers you face.

The magic of this advice is that it compounds silently: •Show up on time → people trust you •Good attitude → people want to work with you •Do what you said → people recommend you Ten years of doing this without fail builds a reputation no résumé can replicate. It’s the slowest path and the surest one.

A friend of mine used to say: “Show up on time, with a good attitude, and do what you said you’d do. That’s it. That’s 90% of winning in life." The older I get, the more I realize just how right he was.

“always make your accomplishments seem effortless.” It’s ancient wisdom with real weight. But the modern world has quietly flipped this rule. In the age of the internet, the audience craves authenticity over aura. The creators, founders, and leaders who win today often do so by showing the labor, not hiding it.

Never show them the process. Appear effortless. The more they see your struggle, the more human you become, and humanity doesn’t inspire obedience. Hide your labor. Let the finished product look divine. Effortlessness is the perfume of power.

@thejustinwelsh Beautifully put. What you’re describing is often called “luck surface area” , the total exposure your life has to serendipity.

How to increase your luck: - Read more - Write more - Build more - Meet more people - Introduce more people Luck often comes from putting in more reps.

@hvgoenka A decisive mandate is always good for economic confidence. Investors, businesses, and citizens all benefit from clarity.

Bengal’s business community is absolutely delighted with result of Bengal elections: 1. Development will be back on the agenda 2. Jobs and investments will follow 3. A stronger, more cohesive social climate will emerge A decisive mandate for BJP is the catalyst Bengal’s economy has been waiting for.

@Joemarcu1 The older I get, the more I realise that aura isn't about being loud or charismatic , it's about being genuinely calm, certain, and self-assured without needing to prove anything. That stillness is rare, and rare things attract opportunity.

the amount of opportunities you'll get in life by just having aura is crazy.

@be_like_ice The older I get, the more I realise that aura isn't about being loud or charismatic , it's about being genuinely calm, certain, and self-assured without needing to prove anything. That stillness is rare, and rare things attract opportunity.

High IQ ADHD people are the most Dopamine Addicted.

@signulll no agent fully solves this yet , because the hard part isn't scheduling, it's context. Real meetups depend on mood, energy, travel time, relationship depth, and dozens of unspoken variables. Current AI handles the logistics but misses the vibe.

coordinating meet ups with ppl is still so so hard. :( which ai agent does this well? like have your agent talk to my agent type stuff.

@omgsidewalks Painfully funny and true. But retail also teaches you something most professions never will , empathy under pressure, grace with difficult people, and the humbling realisation that everyone is a customer somewhere.

Until you work in retail you will never understand the level of stupidiťy that exists in the world

Companies spent the 2010s tearing down walls in the name of "collaboration," then realised nobody could focus, so they added headphones, booths, focus pods, and Slack , effectively rebuilding the walls digitally. We now commute to an open office to put on noise-cancelling headphones and message the person sitting next to us.

offices really have the audacity to force you to come into the office and then not give you a private space to work

@Bloke_Baz This is the single biggest reason small, scrappy teams outperform giant corporations. A 10-person startup spends 80% of its time doing. A 10,000-person company spends 80% of its time coordinating.

Corporate life is 10% doing your job and 90% aligning, syncing, touching base, and circling back

@drgurner Very interesting, The cruel paradox of ambition is that the further you go, the fewer people understand the journey.

Having real ambition is one of the most separating things you can voluntarily experience. You will be increasingly different from everyone you know... Your life & the things you care about will all be different, and will have to create intentional bridges to relate.

@karunpal Beautifully said. "Becoming" is just compound interest applied to identity. You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your daily identity.

The universe rewards becoming. Don't pretend. Become. Becoming is practice. You don't act like you have it. You act like someone who is seriously building toward it. Every single day. Without ever needing anyone to see it. I don't know how, but it just works. It's the law.

@bot750341 @omgsidewalks this is important point, Globalization has quietly created a race where no single country can unilaterally slow down without losing ground , even when slowing down would be healthier for its own citizens. It's a classic prisoner's dilemma played out across nations.

@Synergizedknwlg @omgsidewalks The worst part is that now with globalization, any country that reduces work hours is hurting their strength on the global stage. We are locked in a standstill war of who can produce the most useless bullshit.

It’s really annoying that we realize children need a summer break and several vacations a year because they attend school, but we think it makes sense for adults to work 40 hours a week all year and probably get 2–3 weeks off in a whole year if you’re lucky.

Ajit’s comment here reminded me of one of my favorite lines from Warren: "Most of our results come from about a dozen truly good decisions. That’s roughly one every five years." As true in investing as it is in life.

For 30 years, the business moats were: Network effects Brand Distribution Proprietary data Add a new one for the next 30 years: agent infrastructure. The company with better agents , faster, cheaper, more accurate, deployed deeper into workflows, will quietly out-earn every competitor still running on humans. Agents are becoming the new org chart. And the org chart is becoming the moat.

@BeingPractical The cruel irony of wealth targets is that they keep moving. 1 Cr feels like freedom until you have it, then 10 Cr does, then 100 Cr. The target chasing never ends , but the relationships, health, and peace you neglect while chasing it? Those don't come back.

10 Crore, 40 Crore or 100 Crores! Really don't know what the real number one should aim for as their retirement corpus or to claim financial freedom. With a small circle of people that I work with everyday, I keep telling them that - after all struggles that I have seen in my life, including ups & downs, a few successes and many failures - at the end only 3 things would matter for you. 1. Having a family that stands with you 2. Not many, just 4-5 close friends 3. Having enough cash in the bank for a rainy day Yes, this is what life will be all about. So let's be kind, helpful and supportive to people in our lives.

This is one of the most important framing shifts in modern business. For 100 years, productivity was measured per human. For the next decade, it'll be measured per entity , human, agent, or hybrid workflow. The companies that figure out how to track, attribute, and optimise revenue-per-agent will have the same edge that companies tracking revenue-per-employee had in the 2000s. New metric, new moat.

“Revenue per employee” will soon include “revenue per AI agent.”
