1) Like charges repel. Opposites attract 2) Gravity is the weakest force but affects EVERYTHING 3) Newton's laws of motion also apply to human behavior 4) Relativity: two observers can witness the same thing, disagree, and both be correct
5) If you want more energy, move faster, do more, or push yourself further 6) If two people coordinate on the same frequency, their output is much greater than the sum of the parts 7) It doesn't matter how much energy you exert--if nothing moves, there is no work done
8) Moving at the same the speed is effectively the same as sitting still. Step it up or go home. 9) Sometimes the fastest path isn't the same thing as the shortest distance. 10) Potential is useless until there's movement. If you ain't making progress, you may as well be dead.
I hate to bother you while you're traveling but something just happened and you popped into my head...
Get ready for a story
I work for Xfinity and I'm at a booth in Oakland doing student services for the freshmen, and the guy who's supposed to relieve me is going on 2 hours late.
And I'm starving.
But I can't leave; there's a ton of expensive equipment here.
And then a crackhead walks by...
He asks if I'm giving anything away (Xfinity booth with wifi modems all over the table).
An idea hit me: I said
"Hey man if I give you three bucks to go get me a Snickers and a Dr. Pepper from that Sunoco over there, I'll give you four bucks when you come back."
My next book is forcing me to organize a powerful idea that's formed in my mind over the past 4 years.
You are responsible for your life and all the things in it. The actions you take are yours and yours alone.
You can't blame anyone for what you DO.
With that said...
At age 34, I'm now old enough to see the effects of family members born and raised in a cycle or ignorance.
There is a very real disadvantage to be being born to shit circumstances and raised by shit people.
Furthermore, disadvantages compound...
If you don't know how to cope with the inevitable challenges in life, you'll likely fail, and then cope with that failure in a way that brings even more challenges.
Socio-economic class is a compound word for a reason. It's about being poor AND around shit people.

He's also a chill ass dude who roughed up a rowdy group of partiers making noise at 12 am so I could sleep
