- In pursuit of success, you begin by playing the game, as you progress, you earn the freedom to be yourself. It's a gradual progression, never in reverse.
- You will make much faster progress in the beginning by playing into shallow social and cultural constructs.
- How you carry/present yourself has a much larger effect than you think
- Everybody is a person, no matter their position: they have freedom to make decisions, bend rules, create opportunity. You just aren't convincing enough.
- You can brute force results through volume
- Getting lucky is a skill. Work hard to become the best at what you do, and other peoples luck and opportunity will become your own.
Naval Ravikant, "How to get lucky"
- A single detail is a waste of time. Accumulation of many single details is the difference between average and great.

- Everyone would benefit from manifestation: mentally inflate self-worth and visualise future success as if already made, given it is matched with action.
- Ego in practise, not play.
- Being in the gym for over 45 mins is time wasting
- Train high intensity, high frequency, high quality, low reps
- Only track exercise via wearable if you actually look at the data to make changes accordingly. 99% of people don't, just lower the barrier of entry.
