This is absolutely the right advice Too many people come into the corporate workplace thinking they are a rebel and will change how things work The reality is that if you want to get ahead, you need to play the game that has been laid out You can opt out of the game if you wish and follow your own path Maybe once you are senior enough at the MD or PM level, you can try to change the culture But until then, learning to play it is your best bet of moving ahead in your career

This network is important for small business. In this conversion, the president's going to dictate who gets to own it or maybe, you know, some committee. Why not let the seven million businesses that make their living, their families living, those are my Shark Tank people out there, why can't they own a piece of this? Why don't they get to invest in it? That would help the conversion period a lot, and it would make it truly the people's platform owned by the people, overseen by their Congress. That's how this deal should go down.

Never let your woman see you improving yourself. Whether it's studying something, learning a new skill, working out, or even just plain working. Something about it gives their retarded female brain the "ick." Women don't understand the value and concept of hard work and self-improvement -- their value is innate and given, not earned. They only understand that they want guys who are effortless naturals, not try-hards who have to fake it until they make it.

Ungrateful partners don't see your sacrifices. They only see what you didn't do. No matter how much you give, they'll still find a way to make you feel like it's not enough. If you keep bending yourself to please someone who only sees your faults, that's not love, that's being used. If they can't see your effort, maybe you're just giving your best to the wrong person. You deserve someone who appreciates your effort, not someone who just counts your flaws.

Watch this game-changing dissertation on "expert writing." Expert writers write to "think" about the world. 99% of experts write and think at the same time. They use the writing process to help themselves think. This is how they do their best thinking. Write to think about the world. Do this because you care, because you want to be part of progress, because you want to make a dent in the universe. Write to inspire and influence. And when you are finished writing, and you click publish, think about your work this way... the intent of your text is to cause readers to change the way they think about the world. Engagement metrics don't really matter in comparison. Whether or not your text is valuable, depends on whether or not your readers perceive that you have valuably changed what they think, or what they do, or how they decide. One of the reasons it's so hard for smart people to write well is because they don't write to change the way people think about the world. They write to complete a project, to earn a grade, to be assessed. Or they write to publish *their* thoughts without going through a mental and soulful exercise of writing to think about the world, without writing to change how people think about the world. Write to think about the world. Change how people think about the world. In an era of #GenerativeAI, content isn't the end game. Your goal isn't just to get someone's attention, generate reactions, or show up in search. Your mission is to change how people think about the world. Change How People Think About the World. Thank you, Larry McEnerney (now-retired former Director of the University of Chicago's Writing Program).

Muslim man who immigrated to America and assimilated has a message for Dearborn Michigan “You are in a Christian country — You can't force your religion to be apart of their day — You can't do that here” “To my Muslims in Dearborn, I just wanna say this. Islam is a great religion but you wanna know one thing. Not a lot of people understand that there is something called adhan at 5:00AM or 6:00AM in the morning that are gonna wake them up. Even though maybe they have a night shift, maybe they don't want to wake up on the adhan. Some are Americans, they're not Muslims. So you are in a Christian country — You can't force your religion to be part of their day. You can't, to be honest — Like if you were in Jordan, if you were in anywhere like that, you can do that. But like, you can't do that here. It's kind of an embarrassment too. It doesn't, doesn't make Islam better, you know? — Don't be bothering their ass.”

Smart kid exposes the real purpose of government schools in just two minutes. 🔥 "The whole school system is basically just a scam designed to turn everybody into a bunch of employees who can't think for themselves." "They want to make you smart enough to where you can work your 9-to-5 job and do what your boss says, but not smart enough to where you can think on your own and understand the messed up system you're in." "School's not teaching you how to think. It's telling you what to think."

This is for all the people in the arena ( your life, your career, your family ) who are doing it for them .. not for the validation of the crowd One of the great issues in our society right now is that people live their lives for outside validation, for the clicks, for the likes, for the followers, for the comments. This isn't just in social media. This is happening in the analog and real world too. Too many people are keeping up with the Joneses and worried about what people think about them. They worry about what people think about how much money they have, what school they go to, or even worse, what school their kids go to, and on and on and on … I will continue to make content with the hope it breaks someone out of the hamster wheel and that’s that ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In this video, a UK Indian restaurant owner and his partner are standing up against people who are pressurizing them to change their menu. They clearly state that they do not sell Halal food and they will not be forced to switch to it just because of pressure. The owners show damage to their shop and mention that this is the third attack in the last two weeks, where people have pelted their shop with eggs. The owner is very angry and says that no matter how much they are bullied or harassed, he will continue to sell non-Halal food. They claim that these attackers are trying to provoke them, but they won't be intimidated and will keep running their business their own way.

Mary Barra, Chairman and CEO of General Motors, on the single most underrated trait that separates high performers from everyone else: It's not intelligence, experience, or even talent. She is direct about it: "In my experience, in school and career, at work and at play, there are lots of talented people out there. But talent alone isn't enough. You need something more." That "something more" is what most people overlook entirely. "One thing that distinguishes those who really make a difference in life, those who really contribute, is passion and hard work. Remember, hard work beats talent, if talent doesn't work hard." But Mary Barra takes it further than just working hard. Because working hard quietly, passively, and waiting for your turn doesn't move the needle either. Most people operate on the edges. They show up, do the work they're assigned, and wait to be noticed. Barra says that mindset is exactly what holds people back: "Don't be content to work around the edges of your profession. Don't wait to be invited to important meetings or asked to work on crucial assignments. Instead, do what it takes to ensure that you're in the middle of your business." The underrated trait is proactive hard work, not just hard work alone. "Speak up, volunteer, show your enthusiasm, knock on doors." And the compounding effect of that behaviour is significant at every level of an organisation: "As an employee, your enthusiasm will make your job more interesting and get you noticed. As a manager, your passion will inspire others to join your team and work as hard as you to accomplish great things." The people who consistently rise are the ones who stopped waiting for permission and started showing up like the work already mattered to them, because it always did.

For every 99 people that say: "you can't do that" "It's too expensive" "What about insurance?" "that will never work" There's 1 that doesn't say anything. They just do it. 3 takeaways here: 1. You can't have pride if you want to start a business. Own your circumstances and sell your story. 2. Constraints = creativity. How many would even think to do this? 3. This guy will win.

Thinking about Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Specifically the rouge HVAC tech Harry Tuttle, played by Robert De Niro. Tuttle, tired of government bureaucracy keeping him from his work, became an outlaw. He tells us he's "in it for the action". He loves fixing HVAC systems, and he's not going to let rules and regulations stand in his way. He continues in his work even though he's being hunted by the Secret Police. Why not hang it up? Why does he keep going? He doesn't stop because he can't stop. He's compelled to do it, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to. So he sneaks around in the dead of night, armed, watching out for ambushes, fixing heating systems--because he has to. Harry Tuttle cares about fixing heating systems more than he cares about his own life... A topic I keep returning to is the extreme amount of hard work and dedication required to make a movie. It's become a recurring theme of mine, mainly because it just doesn't seem to land with readers. That's probably due to my poor writing skills. But then again, maybe there's no way to explain it. Maybe to truly understand, it's something you have to experience for yourself. Like Harry Tuttle, the people who make movies will do whatever it takes to make their film. They do this because they care about making movies more than anything. They care more about making movies than their spouses, their children, or friends, or morality, or decency, or money, or anything and everything else you can think of. Not that they don't care about those things. But the work comes first. And again, they'll do whatever it takes to make it happen. They'll even risk their own lives (and the lives of others) to get that perfect shot. I've seen that many times over. I've even done it myself. Why do they do this? It's because they have to do it. They're compelled. When the urge to create hits--when it REALLY hits--you have to get it out. You have to make it REAL. And failure isn't an option. It's not about the money or the fame or the accolades. It's about creating the thing they've been inspired to create. And again, they do whatever it takes. They're not going to let anyone or anything stop them. This isn't something you can learn in school, or by watching Youtube videos. And it isn't something that's gifted to you by the "gatekeepers" (except by God maybe...) It's something you're born with. And it makes you abnormal--defective. Life is going to hard. Nothing will ever be good enough. It will be hard to get close to people. And any relationship you manage to build will be wrecked. But if you don't have it--if you don't have The Thing--if you don't have that compulsion, then don't even fucking try. There are easier ways to earn a living. Maybe you should go to Law School kid... So when I see online chatter about "Gatekeepers" or (most laughably) "The Joos" preventing them from making the things they want to make, I just shake my head. Because they have no clue what it is to actually create. If you're really a creator, if you're truly inspired, if you have what it takes (if you have That Thing) then you'll figure out a way. And you won't let anything get between you and your creation. Because you're not brittle like that. OR, maybe you ARE brittle. But that compulsion--That Thing--is going to glue you together. It's going to make you strong. It's going to make you unstoppable. But most of these people are just whiners. Posting--just typing shit--is a low effort activity. It requires almost no sacrifice. If they really cared about creating the content they want to see then they'd go out and do it. And I would invite everyone to try. But again, it's not easy. And you're probably not cut out for this type of work. So you'll probably give up. But that's fine. You can always just open the app and whine. And I'll be here too--probably still trying to get the point across. After all, I'm just in it for the action🤷‍♂️

ELON: TO BE A LEADER, WORK YOUR WAY UP AND DO USEFUL THINGS “I think, generally, the path to leadership should not be through, basically, an MBA business school situation. It should be kind of work your way up, do useful things. And there's a bit too much of somebody goes to a high-profile MBA school and then kind of parachutes in as the leader, but they don't actually know how things work. They could be good at, say, PowerPoint presentations or something like that, and they can present well. But they don't actually know how things work, because they parachute in instead of working their way up.” Source: Interview with Sandy Munro, February 2021

Mark Zuckerberg on why the people you surround yourself with matter more than you think "The most important decision you're probably going to make if you're in college is who you surround yourself with, because you become like the people you surround yourself with" "When you're in college trying to figure out what your circle is going to be, or evaluating different job opportunities... who are the people, even if they're peers, who in an alternate universe you would want to work for?" "Because you think you're going to learn a lot from them, because they're values-aligned on the things you care about, and they're going to push you. They know different things and have different experiences that are more of what you want to become like over time" "I think in general people are too obsessed and maybe not focused enough on the connections and the people who they're building relationships with"

Clint Eastwood on why other people's opinions don't matter: Clint is asked whether he worries more now, or less, about what other people think of him as a person. He says: "I don't really worry too much about that. People have to think what they think. You can't go out and sell some image to them. That would be false to begin with." He continues: "So you just go ahead and do your work and people will form an opinion about you, good, bad or otherwise. It's up to them. It's not anything you can control anyway. So why bother with it? Why worry about it?" Then he lays out the only standard worth measuring yourself against: "If you live your life and you try to do as well as you can for your community, and be helpful, and do the best work you can, be the best mate or parent you can, then that's the best you."

Agreeable people can't get paid more. Try being disagreeable. Jordan Peterson: “You don’t ask for more money. You make the case that you need to be paid more.” “Agreeable people are good in teams. They’re very likely to give other people credit.” That’s their strength. They collaborate well. They avoid unnecessary friction. They make teams smoother. But that same trait becomes expensive in negotiation. Because agreeable people are often bad at putting forward their own interests. And careers do not only reward value. They reward people who can argue for their value. Peterson’s point is simple: If you want to be paid more, being useful is not enough. You have to make a strong case for why your compensation should change. That means walking in with: Here’s what I do. Here’s the value I create. Here’s why it matters. And here are my options if that value is not recognized. Not as a threat. As leverage. That is where many people fail. They think asking for a raise is about being appreciated. It’s not. It’s about showing your utility clearly enough that saying no becomes harder. Peterson also points out that many people, especially women, may underestimate their value going into these conversations. If you already focus more on your flaws than your strengths, and you’re naturally agreeable, you negotiate from weakness before the conversation even starts. So you soften your ask. You downplay your impact. You wait too long. You accept less. Meanwhile, someone less capable but more assertive gets rewarded faster. That’s the brutal reality. The solution is not becoming aggressive. It’s becoming firm. Not rude. Not combative. Just clear, prepared, and willing to create a little discomfort. Because if you are always protecting the relationship at the cost of your own value, you will stay underpaid for a long time. Lessons I'm taking away from this clip: 1. Being valuable is not enough if you cannot communicate your value clearly. This is the biggest takeaway for me. A lot of smart, hardworking people assume their work will speak for itself, but in business that is often not how it works. People are busy. Managers are juggling priorities. Companies respond to clarity, not silent effort. So the real skill is not just doing good work. It is learning how to explain your contribution in a way that makes your value undeniable. If you can’t articulate the business case for paying you more, you’re leaving too much room for other people to define your worth for you. 2. Negotiation gets easier when you stop treating it like a favor and start treating it like positioning. I think this is where many people get stuck. They walk into these conversations hoping to be appreciated instead of prepared to make a case. That mindset alone weakens your posture. A raise conversation should not sound like “I was hoping…” It should sound like “Here is the impact I’ve created, here is the value tied to it, and here is why this needs to be reflected.” That shift matters. The market rewards people who understand leverage, alternatives, and timing. Not just effort. 3. A lot of under-earning is really under-claiming. Many people, especially those who are conflict-avoidant, do not get paid less because they are less capable. They get paid less because they minimize themselves in rooms that require conviction. They soften their wins, downplay their utility, and wait too long for someone else to notice. But career growth often belongs to the people who can hold two things at once: humility in how they work, and firmness in how they position their value. That balance is what changes income over time.

Agreeable people can't get paid more. Try being disagreeable. Jordan Peterson: “You don’t ask for more money. You make the case that you need to be paid more.” “Agreeable people are good in teams. They’re very likely to give other people credit.” That’s their strength. They collaborate well. They avoid unnecessary friction. They make teams smoother. But that same trait becomes expensive in negotiation. Because agreeable people are often bad at putting forward their own interests. And careers do not only reward value. They reward people who can argue for their value. Peterson’s point is simple: If you want to be paid more, being useful is not enough. You have to make a strong case for why your compensation should change. That means walking in with: Here’s what I do. Here’s the value I create. Here’s why it matters.
