One of my favorite people on the planet is @ScottAdamsSays

He's a favorite because of all the fun I remember having reading his writings and may be for one or two life lessons here and there

A Thread of my most memorable Scott Adams moments 👇
His blogs site in 2 sites. The current one is there since 2008. But before that, he's written quite a bit of great articles in the typepad site

Here are some of my favorites from there
But I suggest you spend a nice, paid-by-your-employer Monday Morning to go through the entire site
My absolute favorite is this one. Savor it

I'm sure he hasn't popped the Champagne yet, have you Scott?

(And I kinda have an idea when he might)

Scott is a writer

He got rich just by typing some random words in some specific order in his computer

In a half-page blog, he tells you how to write better

@naval cites this. It's that good

Scott strives to simplify everything and make them formulaic

In these 2 posts he gives you a formula to write Humor

2) dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_bl…
And here he gives the "Happiness formula"

To finish this thread off, I'll share my most favorite Scott Adams moment

This is when he discovered there's something unique about Trump who had just started campaigning for his first Presidential Election
While most of the world was seeing Trump as nothing more than an entertaining Clown who has no chance of winning, Scott saw a Clown Genius, a "Master Persuader" in Trump and predicted he'll win the Election in a landslide
Then began a series of blog posts that were shitloads of fun

Scott was (correctly) interpreting Trump's every single move in terms of hypnosis and persuasion that the rest of the world (especially the media!) had no idea about
You had to be in 2015 to have enjoyed the fun realtime

But the blog posts are still there, and Scott even compiled a list

A Day In The Life of a LOSER

A @BowTiedBull Wisdom Thread 👇
7:45am >> Alarm clock does off. (Snooze)

7:50am >> Alarm clock goes off again (Snooze)

7:55am >> Alarm clock goes off, hits snooze button and finally gets out of bed to change
8:00am >> alarm clock goes off again and hits because he keeps his clock next to his bed so he doesn’t have to stand up to get to the desk

~~ A CASTLE IN THE JUNGLE - THE STORY ~~

🐂🦌🐦🐟🦍

A Story in a Thread 👇

(and its lessons in the next thread)
You’re dropped into the middle of a jungle. No contacts. No resources

The immediate reaction is to find a source of water to survive

You quickly take to a perch near a river and realize you need food as well
You observe the wild life taking notes and quickly devour anything edible in sight based on your observations. You may live another day

A few days pass and you catch wind of edible fish in the river. You don’t know how to fish.

Always Notice How You Were Sold

(aka the Easiest Way To Learn Persuasion)

A Thread on understanding how Sales is related to Emotions 👇
>> Did you just 'Like' a Tweet?

Why?

• Was it the message?
• Or the way it was presented (structure+language)?
• Was it because u know the author?
• Or did it confirm any of your existing bias?
>> Did you buy something instantly?

Pause to think about how exactly u were persuaded to buy

• Did they evoke FOMO by saying "low price today only"?
• Did it come from a person you regard highly?
• Did some recent new belief made u buy? ("spend money to earn money!")

🔹🔹Things You Should Realize After 1 Year On the Job - PART I 🔹🔹

To help you jump ahead in the learning curve, or in other cases question your own decisions, here are 20 things you should realize after a single year of work experience (10 here 10 in next thread)

1. $100K IS NOT A LOT OF MONEY

Not even close

If you are making $100K a year that's approximately $5,000 in post tax income per month
With the average rent for a studio in a major city like NYC at $2K+ this means that you cannot even afford to live there (using the 1/3 of income as rent rule, you need at least $6K post tax)
