One Quote

One Long

Bad Habits

• Saying yes to everything
• Comparison traps
• Obsessively optimizing your time (see Quote above)
• A persistent desire to be right
• Multitasking is simply fake productivity
• Waiting for the perfect moment

One Short

I Grew Up in Foster Homes

• You are what you do. Not what you say or what you believe.
• Have friends outside of your profession.
• Getting punched in the face once permanently reduces your fear of it happening again. It’s not fun. But it’s not as bad as you think.
• Read at least ten pages of a book every morning. It doesn’t have to be the same book. Just start by building the habit.
• Envy knows many disguises.
• Don’t be the smartest person in the room.
• If you have a good idea or an interesting thought, always write it down
• At funerals, people don’t talk about the accomplishments of the deceased. They talk about their character.

One Extra

That Time Britain Did A Genocide
