Copying what has worked historically is not a way to live your life.

Build systems and habits that work for YOU.

NOT what works for others

Just started reading Antifragile by @nntaleb

The concept of survivorship bias in @chrishlad’s thread remind me a lot of the concepts in the book..

Studying successful people won’t make you successful.

Being fragile means you are risk averse.

If you study successful people thinking by doing what they do will give you success, you are being fragile.

You assume that following their path will lead you to their success
3/
Creating habits and systems you enjoy will make you successful

Being anti-fragile means you embrace uncertainty and risks.

If you take lots of risks, you are creating more opportunities

The more opportunities you have the more likely you will achieve success.

My friend made $100,000 off Gamestop!

Are you going to invest?

No.

Absolutely not and neither should you.

There are three reasons you should NOT invest in Gamestop.

First, investing in individual stocks is a gamble. It's like spinning the roulette wheel.

Odds are, you are going to lose. So, why even play the game?
2/
Second, Gamestop was acquired because of its brand.

It is a strong brand, but it is going to take time to manifest into something that it is not.

Maybe Gamestop pivots into the world of esports, but it's going to take time.

FIRST

IDENTIFY YOUR PROJECT VALUES

Project values are things you value in a PROJECT

Ask yourself...

1. What makes projects interesting to you?
2. What excites you about working on a project?
3. What inspires you to get a project done?
2/
I wrote a list of my own project values

Then realized Julian already wrote out some values that made MORE sense for the exercise.

So I scratched mine and focused on those instead
