Best life advice my father gave me:

1) Leave it better than you found it.

2) God gave you the power to ignore, use it.

3) It’s better to be envied than pitied.

4) You’ve been through worse than anything they can do to you.

5) Whatever you do, be the best. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
6) Try harder than everyone else.

7) Be proud of your name.
8) They can never take your education.

9) You can always get better.
10) “Shaq never said he shouldn’t play basketball because it was unfair he was taller than everyone else. If you have advantages, use them. ”

There was a time I felt very wronged earlier in my life. White hot anger. Didn’t sleep for two days anger. Not tossing and turning. Pacing in a room angry.

The quote that got me to settle down was this:

“To understand is to forgive.” - Pascal

Here’s what I did next… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I wrote a letter to me from the person who I felt had wronged me.

I tried to write his side of the story.

Truly. I wrote it like an essay.

His childhood. His parents. High school. Upbringing. The times I’d wronged him. Etc.
And an interesting thing happened.

As my focus shifted out of myself towards this other humans experience I began to understand why he was the way he was.

And I learned one of the most important lessons of my life:

You cannot be both hate and truly understand another person.

My greatest learning of my first decade in business: to endure hardship for a longer period of time before demanding a reward.

Nothing great happens on the first try.

It’s the 100th iteration that makes you dangerous and the ability to see out 2-99 to get there.
It’s what these guys who launch a new product/program/business every 6 months have yet to learn. They keep repeating the level until they beat the boss. The fortune is in the 43rd version of your first product. Not your 43rd new product.
I’ve made better work (now vs 10 years ago) not because I’ve gotten any smarter, I’ve just increased the delay with which I can wait before getting something back.

In that way it’s more of a trait than a skill.

“Silence is complicity” is dangerous to democracy ☠️

In a sexual setting, if I were to say “silence is consent.” Would you agree? Probably not.

Mind you - I get the good intention to stand up and discourage “unwelcome” socially. Etc.

But…it’s a slippery slope. 🧵
The good does not outweigh the bad.

Example:

If I don’t save someone’s life, does it make me a murderer? With this line of reasoning - yes. Which is what makes it so dangerous.

I’m against human trafficking. But until I say it, I am complicit. Yikes.

So let’s think it thru
From a first principles line of reasoning - more things happen per second than we can talk about or address.

Which would mean that under this “silence is complicity line” we inherently “comply” with everything we do not take the time to disavow.

If you feel you deserve something, you do not feel grateful when you get it.
Because it is expected. You feel entitled to it. Which comes from a place of ego.

If we believe we deserve nothing, then everything we get is above the free line.

Here’s where it gets even funkier…
It applies to: happiness, freedom, a meaningful life, a loving spouse.

Many people say “we are entitled to freedom” but in so doing rob themselves of the gift of gratitude by making that declaration.

Whatever we expect, whatever we believe we deserve, are no longer gifts.
