For 1,000+ days, I’ve kept a gratitude journal.

Here’s what I learned about happiness and fulfillment:
We have one delusion.

= achieving something will make us happy and fulfilled forever

But here’s the truth:

“Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.”
@naval

Pick your desires carefully.
Our time on earth is short.

Acknowledging this makes you realize life can be a fun game and what matters is your experience of reality.

He's 29 and made $10B: @SBF_Alameda

He did it buying crypto in the US and selling it for a higher price in Japan.

Here's 5 things you can learn:
Find your WHY

Sam is an effective altruist.

= he earns a lot money so he can give it away and improve the world

If you don't have a strong why for what you do, you'll quit.
Be Radically Transparent

Crypto trading can be confusing.

No one knows what is going on.

@SBF_Alameda did the opposite by listing his trading returns on a public leaderboard.

Build trust with transparency.

I interviewed someone who created $25B worth of startup value over the past 25 years.

The "Father of NYC tech" has also raised $2B in venture capital funding.

His name is Kevin Ryan and here's what I learned:
“Don’t start an internet company right out of college.”

If you want to start a company in the future, join a promising startup and learn everything you can.
Industry expertise is overrated.

In the consumer space, being new to an industry gives you unique insight.

“If the industry experts hate your idea, you’re on to something.”

When Kevin started @BusinessInsider, everyone in media thought it was a terrible idea.

If you suffer from tweeter's block..

I eventually overcame it.

Here are 4 steps to never run out of twitter ideas again:
ok, so you sit down to write a tweet.

you feel like Ernest fricken Hemingway.

You get ready to dip your quill pen into ink and compose the most beautiful masterpiece to ever grace the internet.

You tap out a few words.

You delete it.

You do it again.

You delete it.
After doing this 57 more times, you angrily close the bird app.

You repeat this process for a week straight.

In that time, you glumly watch all your twitter friends who seemingly have unlimited ideas

And you have no idea what is wrong with you..

I was thinking to myself...

Oh man it would have been awesome to be an early employee at Coinbase.

So I read up on how @FEhrsam and @brian_armstrong chose Employee 1.

Here's math problem from the interview: Image
Safe to say I wouldn't have made it to the next round😅
So our friend Olaf somehow gets this answer in 3 minutes.

He called it "divine insight".

Then @brian_armstrong spends an hour trying to figure out what drives him.
