Great read, Tim. The point about deserving to be where you are resonated. It reminded me of a recent post on Medium where I said Gen Z has a wrong take on work/life balance after a 21-year-old trainee told me I needed to respect his work/life balance. We're paying him for learning so I thought asking him to do an extra task was OK. I still think so. But... That polarized the readers of the post. Half told me I was right and the other half said I was an a**hole. I loved that. Hitting a nerve with the second half felt good.
Interesting article today, showing that most people have something useful to teach us and not to dismiss people out of hand because there is something (or even a lot of things) you don't like about them. Just wanted to point out the quote you attribute to Tim Ferris "How am I complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want?"comes from Jerry Colonna https://www.reboot.io/team/jerry-colonna/ who Tim has interviewed a few times. It is a very useful phrase to keep in your head and check in with regularly! Highly recommend Jerry Colonna's book Reboot - he is known as the CEO whisperer.
We'd be in a better place if we approached different perspectives from a place of curiosity rather than reaction.
I've been trying to study people that are successful that I don't necessarily follow or am fond of. I've been learning a lot about them and myself as well. Really insightful process!
You have good points here. The name-calling was pretty bold and unnecessary. You can be a harsh critic of anyone, but what if one day you bumped into them? Would you call him a SOB to his face? Something to think about.
Well, hello to Tai Lopez. Not as useless as he looks by a long shot! Many thanks, Tim, for introducing us, your loyal readers, to this person. Maybe he could write a book... it would be a multimillion-seller, then he could really BUY that Lambo. He'd do better to take out a lease on it so he could get a NEW one every 2-3 years. And get a better house that he wouldn't have to bleed money every month to rent.
The subject so actual, when you are in the current you can bend from its pressure, but you must also possess a certain degree of toughness and elasticity, when it comes to the application to life of existing laws and morals, it is true that knowledge, resilience, perseverance have an impact, the value of which is too vast to be measured.

Excellent. Really enjoyed this. You can learn from anyone. It doesn’t mean you have to like them or get along.

Good stuff! Love it. Open your heart to everything and take the lessons as profit.
