Ambition makes you lonely at first, then magnetic later.

Surround yourself with humans who create their lives. People who grow, more than they complain. Create, more than they consume. Live actively, instead of accepting life as is. Find people chasing down their potential.

Between 25 and 35, a man faces his hardest battles — not with the world, but with himself. This is the age where you either break cycles and rise or stay trapped in your past forever. — Twitter

"Creativity’s gonna be a top-tier skill in the future—it’s the engine that’ll solve the insane problems of getting to Mars and beyond. Without it, you’re just a passenger; with it, you’re engineering the next civilization. Creativity will be the ultimate skill in the future—because it’s the one thing machines can’t replicate, the spark that turns ideas into infinite leverage. Those who wield it will build the new world, while the rest just consume it.” — Grok

"People drastically underestimate the sheer, compounding power of being likable in their careers. It’s not just some trivial social game—it’s a fundamental principle of human interaction, rooted in the deep structures of competence and trust. If you can master the art of being agreeable, of forging real connections, while still standing your ground with integrity, the opportunities don’t just trickle in—they cascade. You’re not merely earning a paycheck; you’re building a network of reciprocal value that can propel you far beyond the mediocre confines of the unlikable. The data backs this up: likability correlates with influence, and influence is the currency of success. Ignore this at your peril—it’s not weakness, it’s strength, properly wielded.”

Michael: There’s one other thing (Druckenmiller) talked about and it was about position sizing. Broadly speaking when you’re trying to maximize your returns, you need two things. One is you need some sort of an edge. Edge means you have a belief or a mathematical advantage that‘s not reflected in the current odds or in the market price. The second thing is how much you can bet on that when you have that advantage. And the intuition is quite straightforward. If you had perfect information, you knew your bet was going to make money. You would bet everything you could, right?

And then there are degrees of certainty about that. So there’s this relationship between edge and betting size, and that leads to your total ability to generate excess returns. He has this sort of zinger, where he says, people said, what you learn from Soros? And he said, the main thing that he learned from Soros was that position sizing was 70 to 80% of the game. The reason that struck me is because, first of all, purportedly George Soros made money on fewer than 30% of his trades. And that alone is worth letting settle in a bit. And he’s one of the great investors of our time. So what does that mean?

It means that he made a lot of investments that lost money. They probably did not lose much money. And when he did make money, he made a lot of money, both by betting a lot of money and by letting it run simultaneously. That I thought was a really interesting lesson.

I have an MBA in finance. Yet, 99% of my investing knowledge was acquired outside of school. You don’t need a degree to learn how to invest. You need

That’s it. — Brian Feroldi

Vince Lombrardi’s most famous line is “Winning isn’t the most important thing, it’s the only thing.” That is not the Lombardi line I love. When Lombardi left the Green Bay Packers, where he’d won all of his championships, and went to an also-ran-team, the Redskins, he was loved and feared by players. Larry said, “He came in and made the following short speech: “Every team in the National Football League has the talent necessary to win the championship. It’s simply a matter of what you’re willing to give up.” Then Lombardi looked at them and said, “I expect you to give up everything,” and he left the room. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. Sure, there is the talent, but there also has to be the will. Give me human will and the intense desire to win and it will trump talent every day of the week. — Julian Guthrie
