📚 book

A fiction book for a change. Absolutely hilarious book! So many side stories that will make you laugh out loud. Writing style that makes you empathise with the characters, and you just can't put this one down.


💡 insight

If you feel uninspired, it’s an ideation problem. Open yourself up to all kinds of thoughts and perspectives, and something will jolt you.

If you feel self-doubt, it’s an expression problem. Stay focused on what you’re building, and eventually your personality will shine through.

At times all you need to know is that you are not alone in feeling what you are feeling.

One is the constant reminder that wealth is a two-part equation: what you have and what you expect/need. When you realize that each part is equally important, you realize that the overwhelming attention we pay to getting more and the negligible attention we put on managing expectations makes little sense, especially because the expectations side can be so much more in your control.

The second is realizing that managing expectations doesn’t have to mean being conservative or unambitious. It’s just realizing that an insatiable appetite for more will always push you to the point of disappointment and regret – always, every single time. So having some ability to deny an extra dollar of work, or a potential opportunity, a bigger house or a nicer car, is essential if you want to use money to make a better life.
