My strength did not come from lifting weights. It came from lifting myself up when I was knocked down #lionlaw…#Walk good. 28all. Eya. JS, AG The Warm-Up: “I’ve only ever had good things happen to me when I’ve tried to lift other people up.” ~Matthew Kobach The Core: “Exponential gains are driven by incremental behavior. Keep going.” ~Jack Butcher “The best source of leverage is creating more value than you capture.” ~Shane Parrish “The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.” ~Anais Nin “School: Asking other people for the answers is cheating. Life: Asking other people for the answers is a superpower.” ~Eric Jorgenson “Unhappy people are busy judging everything. Happy people are busy experiencing everything. That’s the biggest difference.” ~Orange Book “Mysteries of attraction could not always be explained through logic. Sometimes the fractures in two separate souls became the very hinges that held them together.” ~Lisa Kleypas “If you’re more passionate about founding a business than the business itself, you can fall into a ten-year trap. Better to stay emotionally unattached and select the best opportunity that arises.” ~Naval Ravikant “What about the mess in me? (He was born in a manger). And what if I’m unclean? (He’ll make you new, that’s what He’ll do). What if I fall away? (He’ll hold you close, won’t let go). He’s knocking on the door of your house. Oh, let Him in, let Him in…” ~Maverick City Music, My Heart Your Home “Some people are never going to be comfortable with talking about racism or with eradicating racism. Make room for growth and consciousness, but don’t be distracted. We will never eradicate racism, which is destroying and dehumanizing across the globe, if we cater to discomfort.” ~Bernice King “There are two kinds of fame: 1) Kim Kardashian Fame: You’re famous for being famous, so everybody knows who you are. 2) Charlie Munger Fame: A small number of people deeply respect how you think, but most people wouldn’t stop if they saw you on the street. Choose Munger fame.” ~David Perell “Well we all know people who’ve flunked, and they try and memorize, and they try and spout back, and they just … doesn’t work. The brain doesn’t work that way. You’ve got to array facts on theory structures answering the question of why. If you don’t do that, you cannot handle the world.” ~Charlie Munger “While companies ask interview questions intended to identify those who can already do the work, students seek employers who show interest in them. This disconnect is, in large part, responsible for the growing attrition rate of the new generation of workers. The leaders of tomorrow want to join companies that value them as people, not just as employees.” ~Stephanie Hockman, Road Less Traveled “Y’all ain’t ready to workout with the boy/ Your flow is brain on drugs/ Mines is rap on steroids/ I lift every voice when I sing/ My ability/ Make yours look like an exercise in futility/ Bring your squad/ Biceps, triceps, and quads/ We don’t struggle with undeveloped muscle/ Y’all ain’t real, that’s y’all Achilles Heel/ Same routine when you see me you know the drill/ I spot ya” ~Jay-Z, Lyrical Exercise “Occasional effort equals occasional results. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get the results you were hoping for in your life or endeavors if you only do things once in a while. So, don’t expect great, consistent, world champion level results in any area of your life if it’s something you do every now and again. What separates Lewis Hamilton, Lionel Messi, Elon Musk and Beyoncé from the majority of people is they PRACTICE and put in relentless effort and dedication into their craft.” ~Joe Duncan Last Set: “Our presidential candidates are 74 and 77. Our Senate Majority Leader is 78. Our House Speaker is 80. The average age of our Senate is 62. The average age of our House is 57…And the average age of every living American is 37. We can’t pretend this isn’t part of the problem.” ~@davenewworld_2 (fiftyshadesofwhey)
