"The other day I was dealing with a problem and I said, this thing has 3 things I've learned to fear: an architect, a contractor and a hill." Some things are intrinsically difficult. And you can't just outsource your thinking. "We'd rather multiply by 3 than by π" It's... easier that way. Whenever possible, Warren stays away from complexity. Why going for π if you can go for 3. “I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars. I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.” No extra reward comes from complexity. You might get some admiration from non-knowers, but that's about it. All things equal, the simplest explanation is the best one. Easiest to remember and recall. Easiest to practice. There's much more power in simple ideas than in complicated ones. They can scale and are repeatable. Mastery comes from doing the same simple thing over and over again. But don't force simplicity. It must be 'as simple as possible, but not simpler'. To test for this: 1. Use Feynman's question: Can you teach it to a 5-year old? 2. Use Darwin's guiding principle: Is it true?show more

Tried to make it as simple as possible. Follow it and give it a try. There are more things you can do but i kept it easy for everyone for now. Check the first comment for the link. I have the tool and some documentation for further reading. Good luck.

This video is the one Kim Runner shared with me in July 2024 about how to tell whether you or others are NPCs. I can vividly imagine the stickiness and feel of holding an apple in my hand, the sensation of it denting when I squeeze it hard, its smell, and even its texture. Honestly, I was greatly shocked to learn that some people cannot do this. Below is the transcript of the audio.⬇️ Have you guys seen this experiment where you can not only test if the people around you are NPCs, but if you yourself are? Check this out. And if you don't know what an NPC is, basically, in the video game world, it's someone that's not being controlled by a person, just a random computer-generated thing. And in the real world, same thing, maybe just someone that's not being controlled by a soul. So I heard this experiment on a podcast, and I thought it was kind of crazy until I tried it out myself. And it has to do with apples. And you can probably use any object, but for our purposes, we're going to stick with apples. So there are going to be multiple layers to what I'm going to ask you to imagine. And depending on how far you can imagine it might just depend on if you're an NPC or not. So with this blank screen, I want you to picture a red apple here. Can you picture a red apple? If you can, great. So far, you're not an NPC. Next, I'd like you to think of that red apple, and in your mind—you can close your eyes if you need to—think of that apple as green. Can you change it to a green apple? Can you see a green apple without looking at it? Now stick with me. We're getting to the good parts here. If you can picture a red apple and then a green apple, great, but here's where a lot of people get stuck. And I'm taking away the image here. I want you to picture that green apple in your mind, and can you go in, and can you pick up that apple? Can you manipulate it? Can you move it around? Can you in your mind be holding it, and then all of a sudden it turns from green to purple? Do you have the ability to do that? Because for me, I could, no problem. I could hold that, I could throw it, I could take a bite of it, anything I wanted to do with that apple, I could do in my mind. But the shocking part was, as I was listening to this on the podcast, one person, they were stuck. They couldn't do anything but change colors. They couldn't grab it, they couldn't manipulate it. It was stuck there. One person couldn't even change colors of the apple. But I didn't believe this until I tried it on my wife. And my wife, she could change the color—she could go green and red—but she didn't have the ability to manipulate that apple. She couldn't grab that apple, she couldn't throw that apple. I'm juggling this apple, I'm doing all sorts of things with it, but hers is just a stuck image. And I thought that was nuts. I thought just because I had the ability to manipulate things in my mind and control things, that everybody did, but clearly that's not the case. And this leads me down the path of maybe this is why some people can't grasp the topics or the understanding of not living where we've been told we live our entire lives, because they can't visualize it, they can't think outside the green and red apple. Now, I'm not actually saying my wife is an NPC, but I do think our brains operate differently. I do think some are more right, some are more left, some are right down the middle, and some just don't really choose to think. But try it out, guys, because I found it fascinating, and I would love to hear how you did during this little experiment. Put it in the comments, test it on the people around you, and let me know, cause I want to know if I'm in the majority or if I'm in the minority. But something tells me I might be in the minority. But guys, as always, this was all for entertainment purposes. I don't really think my wife is an NPC... (Female voice) Tyler, can you come here?

🎙️ : “carlos sainz had some lovely things to say about you [..] he said that you're the most open driver on the grid, but that in the modern world, sometimes people can use that against you. how important is it to you to be this open book that you are?” lando: “that's tricky. i don't know if it's about importance. it's not like i'm trying to be like this because i think it's important. i'm just being myself and i'd rather be myself than try to be something i'm not. i'd rather do what i enjoy in my life and feel like i've just done what i feel like i should have done in my life than try to pretend i'm someone else or try to pretend like i'm the racing driver that everyone thinks you need to be or should be. a lot of people like to set these stereotypes and some things are probably right and along better lines. for me, i just want to enjoy my time here. i work hard. i do everything i can to win races and try to be the best. but that's it. other than that, i'm here to enjoy my life, share it with others and try to stand on the top step and that's as simple as i try and keep it”

Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize-winning physicist: "You can know the name of every pattern in the market and understand nothing about why a single one works. I won a Nobel on that one distinction. it is the whole difference between an edge and a story you tell yourself." this free film is a Nobel laureate teaching you how to actually think, recorded by the BBC and free ever since. at the board it's simple. Feynman's obsession was the gap between naming a thing and understanding it. You can memorize the word for why a stock moved, "momentum", "mean reversion", and still know nothing about whether it will happen again. Real understanding means you can say why, from the mechanism up, and name what would break it. Everything else is a label pasted over ignorance. That's the whole "edge", minus the marketing. Feynman's rule was that the first principle is you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool. Same point as my casino piece above: the market is a machine for handing you convincing stories, and the only defense is refusing to believe one you cannot explain. the film is free and anyone can watch it tonight. what nobody can give you is the discipline to admit "I named it but I don't understand it" before you put money on it. That honesty is the edge, and it is the rarest thing there is.

I love this idea from Jason Fried "Your only competition is your costs." Keep costs low, keep the team small, make stuff you want to use. You don't need the whole world: “A business is very simple. You got to make more than you spend. If you're making more than you spend, then your competition is your cost. That's what you're really in business against, how much it costs you to stay in business. It's not all the other alternatives that are on the market. You can't control what they're going to put out there, what they're going to price it at, all the things they're going to do. They're going to do what they're going to do. What I can control is how much it costs me to run my business, how much I sell my product for, and as long as I make more than I spend, I get to stay in business. And isn't that what this is all about, staying in business? That's what it's all about because I like this. I want to keep doing this. I can't keep doing it if I don't stay in business. I can't keep doing it if I make less than it costs me to make the things that I make. So I'm always thinking about the only competition I really have on an annual basis is to make sure that we make more as a company than it costs us to run the company. That's my real competition.”

Hopes without actions simply become fantasies. As I was running today, I thought about these 3 things I do to set up my day for success. I've picked up these ideas from others over the years and the days I do them are typically way better than the days that I don't. 1.I focus on gratitude. Starting my day off with having an appreciation for what I currently have sets my day off in a positive direction. Of course we should have aspirations, but I love the saying that "5 years ago you were probably wishing you were where you are today. Gratitude brings needed perspective for the beginning of the day. 2.I visualize what my day is going to look like. I think about the positives and challenges I'll face throughout the day and finding success in what I'm aiming to do. If you visualize it before it happens it is more likely to come to fruition. 3.I plan out my actions and goals for the day. This can be things like step counts, workouts, job commitments, what I’m going to eat, and time with family. This is where the visualization comes to life. As I said earlier, hopes without actions simply become fantasies. I try to do this daily, and then the big goals that we have over the weeks, months and years, become a reality sooner than what we expect. #OneDayAtATimeRepeated is the goal!

You have a big momentum stock, it builds a channel this way. You have a big momentum stock, it maybe does something like this with higher lows. You have a big momentum stock, it maybe goes up a lot and then maybe does something like this. These triangles and channels. High-tight flags. It's the same patterns over and over again. It doesn't matter if you learn them from Minervini, Dan Zanger, it's the same things, or Stockbee, right? It's the same things over and over. It's just so easy. You just need to train your brain to see these patterns on the strongest stocks. That's the key. The strongest stocks, not some random piece of shit. People keep posting these random stocks that have these bull flags, but you need the strongest stocks. You don't have an edge trading some random shit stock that happens to have a good chart pattern. I get these every day, people are posting and asking me about them. It has to be a momentum leader. Just the same patterns over... just look at the stocks I'm in, right? NVDA, I bought it last week, okay? Very simple. A big momentum stock, look at the pattern. What is it? Do you see this? Do you see this pattern? I bought it here. NIO, I bought it a couple of days ago. What's the pattern, right? Do you see it? I bought it on this day here, like somewhere here, right? LVGO, what's the pattern? Okay, I bought it here, so it was a little bit of a chase. FSLY, I bought it here. What's the pattern? You see this? DDOG, where did I buy it? I bought it here. This wasn't a clean one, but it was showing relative strength. But again, same patterns. You see higher lows and Z, I bought it here. I also bought it here initially. The same patterns over and over again. There's absolutely no rocket science involved. Anyone who's trying to sell you rocket science, just unfollow them and run the other way. They're all frauds. They don't make any money. Same thing, these simple patterns: triangles, channels, high-tight flags. We bought TSLA here, right? Same thing. I bought TSLA here, right? Same thing. I also bought TSLA down here. Same thing. This is just the same patterns over and over again. All you have to do to succeed in the stock market is don't be a fucking retard. Really. I mean, really. That's all you have to do. You don't need any intelligence to make tens of millions. All you need to know is risk management, portfolio management, and these patterns. And then you need to have sit-out power when the market is bad. That's all you need. You literally need five things. And yes, CRWD... where did I buy it? On this day here. You see the pattern. LAC, I bought it here. You see the pattern. I bought it here, or was it here? I don't remember. One of... the same thing over and over again. Exactly, the big... yeah, exactly. All the... Zanger, Jesse Livermore, Darvas, Ruppel, O'Neil... exactly, it's the same thing. They're all momentum traders. They trade these momentum stocks, relative strength stocks, the stocks that funds are dying to get in, okay? You want the stocks that the funds want to buy, okay? The funds leave footprints, the big institutions, they leave footprints. Your job is to sniff out the stocks the funds are buying. You don't want some piece-of-shit random stock. You're never going to make money over time. You want buyers coming in after you.

Christmas can be a wonderful time of year but it can also be incredibly tough for people. For so many reasons it can actually be the toughest. There is happiness everywhere and an abundance of excess to be had everywhere you look. I know it’s a time when i always struggled when I was drinking and battling other addictions and demons. It can seem like you are alone. That the whole world is against you. How can everybody be so happy yet here you are feeling so worthless, down or panic ridden. I just wanted to say that you are not alone and millions of others have the same issues. The most remarkable thing I ever got for Christmas was a phone call just before I went into ICU. It was a simple humble an unexpected call from someone checking in. It’s why I think it’s important to remember that it’s not designer handbags, PlayStations or iPads that make this time of year. It could be a simple detour to see someone. A 10 minute chat with an old friend that means the world to them. Swallowing your pride to say sorry to someone. It’s the little things. The checking in to let someone know they are not alone. As for me I’m sad and missing Derek and Jumbo is very ill beside me as I write this but I’m also optimistic. I’ve lots of dogs to look after, I’m forcing myself to be social and have not 1 but 2 Christmas meals with friends and I love the life I have. I’m lucky and humble about that now because it wasn’t always that way. Maybe one person who needs to see this will. It’s just a time of year. If you are having it tough you are not alone. If you are doing well yourself have a little check in with somebody you know probably needs it 🙏🥰

"Every team wants to win a championship, but not every team wants to do the things required for a championship. And here's the thing: it's easy to be an average team. It doesn't require a lot. It's less adversity to be average in the world. The consequences of being average aren't easy. We end up wearing them. There's strain and struggle that comes with that too. The standard is just lower to be an average team. To be a championship team, to be champion, to be a championship team member here . . . I'm not gonna lie to you . . . I'm going to tell you the truth. It is harder. It is. The question is: Is it worth it? Some people say, "Oh it's not harder work." Yes it is. It's harder work. You can pursue comfort or you can pursue excellence. If we pursue comfort, we gotta give up some excellence. But if we pursue excellence, then we're just going to face more adversity. Everyone who's ever accomplished something excellence has had to overcome it. We are here today for a reason. Two reasons actually. Reason #1 is let's make sure that we identify and realize the opportunities that are in front of us. Reason #2 is let's make sure that we are preparing for the adversity that those opportunities require. And just understand: every single time you lever up your opportunities and you identify, "Oh there's something more I can do, more I can achieve. I can get better. I can earn more. I can do this." It's going to be matched with the adversity that comes with it. I want to make sure we are prepared for both of those, so that we're not chasing big opportunities and then getting mad when things start getting harder along the way. Is that fair? Does that make sense?"

"Every team wants to win a championship, but not every team wants to do the things required for a championship. And here's the thing: it's easy to be an average team. It doesn't require a lot. It's less adversity to be average in the world. The consequences of being average aren't easy. We end up wearing them. There's strain and struggle that comes with that too.

Jordan Peterson: "If you can't fix your room, you can't fix your life" "Why should you even bother improving yourself? The answer is something like: so you don't suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. And maybe so others don't have to either. It's not some casual self-help doctrine. If you don't organize yourself properly, you'll pay for it. In a big way. And so will the people around you." Peterson continues: "You can say, 'Well, I don't care about that.' But that's actually not true, you do care about it. Because if you're in pain, you will care about it. It's very rare that you can find someone in excruciating pain who would say, 'Well, it would be no better if I was out of this.' Pain brings the idea that it would be better if it didn't exist along with it. It's incontrovertible." On how to start: "Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it. You can do this in a room. Sit in your bedroom and think: 'If I wanted to spend ten minutes making this room better, what would I have to do?' You have to ask yourself that, it's a genuine question. And things will pop out. There's a stack of papers bugging you. Some rubbish behind your computer monitor you haven't attended to for six months. Cables tangled up." He explains why this matters: "If you were coming to see me for psychotherapy, the easiest thing would be to get you to organize your room. You think, is that psychotherapy? It depends on how you conceive the limits of your being. Start where you can start. If something announces itself as in need of repair that you could repair, fix it. Fix a hundred things like that, your life will be a lot different." On fixing what you repeat every day: "People tend to think of their daily routines as trivial. You get up, brush your teeth, have breakfast. Those probably constitute 50% of your life. People think, they're mundane, I don't need to pay attention to them. No, that's exactly wrong. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. Hands down. Just do the arithmetic." On staying within your competence: "Sometimes you don't know how to fix something. Imagine you're walking down the street and there's a guy who's alcoholic and schizophrenic and has been homeless for ten years. That's a problem. It would be good if you could fix it, but you haven't got a clue. You walk around that and go find something you could fix. Just because something announces itself as in need of repair doesn't mean it's you, right then and there, who should repair it. You have to have some humility. You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away." Peterson shares the key insight: "As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim. That's actually how you see to begin with. You've all seen the video where you watch basketballs being tossed back and forth, and while you're doing that, a gorilla walks into the middle of the video and you don't see it. If you thought about that experiment for five years, that would be about the right amount of time to spend thinking about it." He explains what it reveals: "What it shows you is that you see what you aim at. If you can get one thing through your head, that would be a good one. You see what you aim at. One inference you might draw from that is: be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you. So if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is: are you aiming at the right thing?"

🎤 Have you seen New giving his review? 🫍 I saw it, I saw it. This one has to go to him, since he's a dessert expert. Both of us has our own expertise, mine is savory food review. When it comes to dessert, I can only judge basically a 1 or a 10. 1 for not good, 10 for good. I can’t tell the difference between something that’s a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. As for New, he can tell the difference whether it's a 5 or a 6. It’s kind of like me with curry and chili paste. I can take just a little taste and can immediately tell if it's a 5 or a 6 but when it comes to desserts, I can only say, “This is good” or “This is not good.” and that's it. 🎤 But that means you won't get a taste of the original since they're improving the drink. 🫍 Yeah, I saw it as well. I think that’s a good thing. Since we're a family, and when it comes to the areas we’re each experts in, we can share our ideas and contribute to make it better in the best way possible.

I was asked, how do I manage stress from economic shocks, geopolitical shocks, and all the things that are going on? While my typical approaches like "pain plus reflection equals progress" and meditation are highly effective, I’ll pass along another principle that I think is the best advice: The Serenity Prayer. I view this almost like a game. These macro things are happening, but there are also a lot of joyous things and choices that exist with us. It’s really up to me to navigate them. What can I control that's really important to me? What can't I control? I can't live forever, so I’m not going to get stressed out about that. But on the other hand, I can control certain things. Having that equanimity allows me to approach life in a way where I don't get hijacked. It is logical, real, and practical. Look around you. You’ve got wonderful things and things you aspire to. Don't get so attached. If you navigate your life well, you're going to be fine.

zhao lusi talks about plans that she has made for the future! "I actually have many plans for the year. in fact, I've 'reported' about this to my fans over chinese new year, that I have many plans! but as the saying goes, plans can't ever keep up with changes. there are many things that you can make plans for but some things, and life, may just not turn out or develop the way you want... we can have many plans, and we always hope that those plans will successfully go through but even if they don't successfully complete, we can think of it as a silver lining!"

Kevin O'Leary says Steve Jobs taught him the one skill every entrepreneur needs to master "I learned this from Steve Jobs. I told this story countless times. He was not a nice guy, but in the 90s, I made all of his software for the Mac in schools, 110,000 buildings. He was an absolute a**hole, but he taught me some very important things, and he was wildly successful." "He said that each day, including you, each day there will be three things you have to get done, just three, and that's called the signal." "And there's going to be a plethora of things that are going to stop you from doing that and that's called the noise. So the only thing you have to get good at in your life to be an entrepreneur is to distinguish what's signal and what's noise." "And then you do not let noise get in the way of getting the three things done. They get done first."

Tim Legler pushes back on Mike Brown’s complaints about the officiating in Game 3 “I'm not seeing a one-way whistle. There's certainly going to be calls that are going to be missed either way. Here's the thing: this is so difficult to officiate because of the amount of physicality that's taking place all over the floor. So sometimes, and I said it on the air in one of the calls, it just seemed like a little selective on a particular play that you see a lot. Very difficult job for these officials. I don't think we were sitting there saying, 'Man, the Knicks are getting the short end of this over and over and over again.' Certainly you can point to certain calls throughout the game, but you could do the same thing for San Antonio.”

Lebron on what it takes to play for as long as he has at a high level that the average fan may not understand: "It starts way before you get on the floor. They see us once the game is going the popcorn's been popped and the lights are brighter. It takes so much more like sacrifice and discipline and things over the course if you want to be really great at this and if you want to do it for a long period of time. It's so many hours that you got to commit to it. There's so many things that you maybe want to do that you can't if you want to be great but everybody's journey is different. I'm just speaking from my journey but I do think that the game gives back to the ones who put the time in and commit to the game. That's just the game God's rewarding and we don't cheat the process"

“when you charles leclerc go to bed, what do you think of?” 🆑: what i love most doing is racing. but i raced since i'm three and a half years old and i spent many of my nights thinking about racing and racing only but i'm also very creative. i think one of the things with me is that i love being creative but at the same time, i get obsessed with things very quickly and with new passions. one week it will be padel and the other week will be music and piano. every week i find a new thing that i'm super curious about, that i want to learn of and that i keep thinking about. and so sometimes it can be not really related to racing and it can be any new passions like padel or music. and sometimes it's racing. it's not necessarily always the same thing. but when a thought is too strong for you to fall asleep, as i said, i value sleeping. and so i want sleeps and then so i found ways in order to try and switch off the brain as much as possible. 🎥: eight sleep

Josh Allen says he isn’t surprised by his success “This is the only life that I’ve ever pictured for myself, being an NFL quarterback. So surprise maybe is not the right word.” “With all the stuff, I didn’t realize that it comes with a lot of different things,the fame, if you will. But I don’t really pay attention to that.” “I just love playing football and I love being around my teammates. I literally try to keep it as simple as that.” “I get to do what I’ve always loved doing for an actual job, and it’s the best job in the world. Meetings are intense, practice is intense, but the downtime that you have in the building is the most fun thing I can think of to actually get paid to do.” “I just love it. I just love it. So, not surprised, but I am grateful.”
