Jul 14 Wikipedia is better than Netflix tonight... Listen to this: I was looking up past presidents who had assassination attempts, and this Teddy Roosevelt story is incredible: ---> story: Teddy was walking to his car - when an assassin shot him in the chest. He's hit, but his life is saved because the bullet hits his glasses case and a 50-page speech before entering his chest cavity. He had the speech printed and in his jacket pocket because he was about to go give a campaign speech. With a bullet sitting in his chest, he looks for the shooter. Teddy's secretary is an ex-football player who tackled the guy. Teddy says "bring him to me" He looks him in the eye and asks "why'd you do it?". No answer. He says "forget it" and tells the cops to take him away. Instead of going to the hospital - he decides to drive to his campaign rally and give a 50 minute speech with a bullet in his chest. Blood is soaking through his shirt (see pic) He finishes the speech saying "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." He then goes to the hospital. They see that he's got a bullet there, but they're afraid to take it out because OH THATS HOW THE PRIOR PRESIDENT (MCKINLEY) JUST DIED (crazy ass times) So they leave it in, and he lives his whole life with the bullet in his chest. They ask him 30 years later if it hurts and he said "I do not mind it any more than if the bullet were in my pocket" Despite his G-Unit credentials- he loses the election. (he ran as a third party candidate, with his self-made party called the Bull Moose Party) 525 27 41 142k 1.7k .

Jun 25 I guess I should go first. Here's a couple ppl that have a high hit-rate for me: @george__mack - great thinker. never pushing an agenda. just sharing stuff he finds interesting. @levelsio - his momentum is contagious. he's building in public & posting as he goes - without being promotional. Also randomly posts interesting health/lifestyle stuff (like his bar of soap thing recently). has a high "idgaf" score @VijarKohli & @jayvas - i don't know these guys personally, but they are lowkey very good follows for business stuff (more private equity/cashflow stuff). Not promotional, they tend to share good books/blogs that I haven't read before. 92 3 10 23.2k 651 .

Jun 04 “Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance. Every sun casts a shadow, and a genius’s shadow is Resistance. Resistance is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, harder to kick than crack cocaine. And here’s the biggest bitch: we don’t even know what hit us. I never did. From age 24 to 32 Resistance kicked my ass from East Coast to West and back again 13 times and I never even knew it existed.

May 21 The optimal Poker strategy: - start when you’re young.

May 15 What's hard about doing this? The biggest blocker for most people is 'work'. You spend ~8 hours a day working (half your waking life) and for most people it is: - not fun (would rather be doing something else) - not with people they like hanging with (doesn't fill friends bucket) - not flexible (don't control own schedule/time) this is like a huge collission on the highway to happiness. It creates a giant jam. So the biggest unlock would be to figure out what work you: - actually enjoy doing - with people you enjoy being with everyday - that pays you for results, not hours of butt-in-chair, This unblocks your life, and gives you a powerstrip to start plugging in various life integrations. 217 11 20 50.6k 711 .
May 15 Integration multiplies your time. If you feel like there's not enough time, that's really just 'not enough integration'. We all have ~16 waking hours, but if you're using 1 hour to fill up multiple buckets (eg. exercising with friends) - then you've multiplied your time. 152 4 1 50.3k 273 .
