This hits hard. Will we do––what we’re doing––if we’re not getting the accolades and the recognition? Paulo Coelho talks about a pianist in the mall, surrounded by people eating, talking, window shopping, meeting friends––no one paying attention.

Want to read more? Put books by your bed. Want to eat better? Make your kitchen better. Want to exercise? Sleep in your gym clothes. When you're trying to change something, create the conditions for you to win.

The biggest mistakes in AI: No, it's not about knowing ALL kinds of prompts. - It's not knowing what you want. - And not knowing how to ask the right questions. The right questions inevitably end by being the right prompts.

Most of life's mistakes come from instant reaction and triggered emotion. All of us would benefit tremendously from delayed action and composed reflection.

Nobody needs much. Just someone who makes them feel safe, a little less afraid, a little more brave. Someone who sees their broken pieces and says “I got you.” And means it.

Fuck around and find out. You can read about swimming for years. But at some point, you have to get in the water. 👇 ancient philosopher's quote

You didn't ask to be born. And you can't avoid dying. But that middle part? That's yours to design

Kill your dreams. The best lesson I've kept from Mark Manson's 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.' The thing that you want, that you dream of, do you really want it? Can't-breathe-if-I-don't-get-it type of want it?

Once you're over 40, self-help books are just expensive reminders of what life taught you for free.

When you’re alone, and nobody calls you to ‘hang-out’... Is it loneliness, or peace? You decide.

You want a fresh start You have new goals 2025 is the year But remember: Goals without execution Are just next year's regrets.

Cut the New Year resolution crap. Here's a "start now messy" framework: - Pick one goal (big or small) - Choose the tiniest possible action toward it - Do that thing today, no matter how imperfect - Celebrate your messy win - Repeat tomorrow You don't need a new year. Just start.

I've been a Product Manager for 18 years. People always ask me what's the biggest product management problem I've had to deal with. "People."

two tips for peace and happiness: 1 - stop playing stupid games for stupid prizes. 2 - stop giving your time to stupid people

You already know what's right. You've always known. You're just looking for permission.

Death isn't the enemy. Death is a given. The enemy is regret - regret for the things you decided to delay - delay for the things that did not even matter at all.
Death isn't the enemy. Regret is.

As a child, the dark was shadows and terror. Now–– the same darkness brings peace.
