If you want to win long-term, you can't care about rejection, judgment, or failure. At all.

LOVE is the language of GOD. If you can’t love his creation you can’t truly love Him. Your love for people, animals and nature is your real worship.

Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you'll regret. Slow down to speed up.

Too many people ask permission/seek validation to do or be things but you can truly just do whatever you want as long as it’s not harming people. If people think you’re wrong, first get over the need for validation.

the guy who makes shit happen, invites people, talks to strangers like old friends, takes risks, grins through chaos because he knows it works out either way. he's not smarter than you. he just acts instead of overthinking. that's it. that's the whole secret everyone's looking for.

15 things to do with your mother while she is still alive. One day, you’ll wish you had.
1. Ask her about her life before you were born. She had dreams, fears, and a whole world that existed before she became mom.
2. Record her voice while she’s doing something ordinary like Cooking, Scolding, Laughing. One day, that voice will feel priceless.
3. Ask her what the hardest phase of her life was. She’ll probably talk about sacrifice without calling it sacrifice.
4. Learn one recipe she makes without measuring anything. Food is how many mothers express love. Appreciate the food she makes, you don’t know deep inside she will feel very happy.
5. Take photos of her doing everyday things.
Not posed or dressed up. Only Candid. These will mean more than any perfect picture.
6. Tell her thank you for things she never got credit for. She remembers everything, even if she never mentions it.
7. Tell her you’re proud of her.
Most mothers hear complaints far more than appreciation.
8. Ask her what she worries about the most.
Chances are, it’s still you.
9. Sit with her without checking your phone.
Just be present. That’s rare now.
10.Ask her what she wanted to be when she was young and listen without interrupting.
11. Hug her for no reason. Don’t rush it.
12.Call her even when you have nothing to say. One day, you’ll miss the sound of her answering.
13.Take a photo of just the two of you together. Frame it.
14.Ask her about her parents. Her stories keep generations alive.
15.Tell her something you’re struggling with.
No matter how old you are, it still matters to her that she can protect you.
If your mother is still alive, please do at least one thing from this list today. You’ll never regret it & take care of her health.
RT this for someone who still has time.
15 things to do with your father while he is still alive. I lost mine 8 years ago.
1. Ask him what he was like at your age because once he was the same age you are right now & Watch his face light up as he tells you stories from when he was younger
2. Record his laugh when he tells one of his signature jokes. Someday you will replay the video over and over just to hear it again
3. Ask him about the proudest moment of his life. (Odds are he will say when you were born)
4. Ask him his favourite songs
Listen to them together, laugh, sing and be happy. These will become your most cherished memories in years to come
5. Take a picture of him doing something he loves. Watching tv, gardening, playing the guitar, anything. When you look back these will be the pictures that will make you smile the most
6. Tell him you love him even if it's something you don't normally do.
7. Tell him you are proud to be his son/daughter This will mean more to him than you realise (even if he doesn't show it)
8. Listen to music from his youth and watch him turn from dad into a young man again
9. Take a short video of him talking about something random sacred Someday even the ordinary things he said become
10. Bring up something you are thankful for from years ago
11. Ask him what it was like for him growing up
12. Call him for no reason
Don't take being able to do this for granted.
Someday you would give anything to hear his voice again.
13. Take a picture of just the 2 of you together
14. Ask him to show you an old photo of him because seeing him young will remind you that he wasn't always Dad
15. Tell him something you are struggling with, no matter what age you are Because even when your grown it means the world to him to feel like he can still help
Let him give you advice, even if you don't need it because one day you will give anything to hear his voice guiding you again

"The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents." —Carl Jung
Here’s a piece of contrarian parenting advice:
Be a little selfish.
After having kids, a lot of people surrender their life as an individual. They stop pursuing their passions, don’t travel, give up their me-time, and get out of shape.
The intent is positive, but what message are you sending?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about parenting, it’s this:
Kids ignore most of what we say, but they see *everything* we do. They tend to adopt our behaviors, both good and bad.
👉 Your kids don’t need a martyr, they need a model.
I don’t know about you, but I want my kids to see me *living*—partly because *I* want to live and partly because I want *them* to do the same.
On airplanes, they warn us: “Put on your oxygen mask before helping others.” It seems selfish, but it’s better for everyone. The same applies to parenting.
Give your kids the gift of front-row seats… to a life well lived.

Agree with Marc here. Not everyone should be an entrepreneur. It’s romanticized as the ‘best job’ and highest status leaving Stanford, Harvard, etc. It’s really tough. It feels easier than ever to get started with YC and other accelerators giving founders money just by going to the right schools. However, the shine quickly fades when you’re no longer the hot company with 40 investors pinging you to invest as a follower. And many of those follower investors are nowhere to be found when you don’t have PMF. You’re 1 of 100 investments in their portfolio. Most are going to fail. So they don’t want to spend time on you bc you’re not going to generate returns for them. Only those truly obsessed over the problem they want to solve are best fitted to become founders.
Marc Andreessen on why we shouldn’t encourage people to be entrepreneurs
“The idea of being an entrepreneur has been a romanticized concept. There used to be TV shows talking about how fun it was. And people ask questions, ‘How do we encourage more people to be entrepreneurs?’ And my answer was always: no, we shouldn’t do that. People shouldn’t be encouraged to do something that painful. They should do it because they really want to do it. In fact, they should do it because they can’t not do it.”
Marc continues:
“It’s tremendously painful. Most of the experience of being in business as a startup is being told no. You need all these things: employees, financing, customers. Then you go around all day long asking people for those things and they tell you no. Half the time they don’t even respond. And then just when you think you get it working, a new competitor emerges and just starts punching you square in the face. The minute you think your product is working, there’s a problem in it, and you have to do a recall. It’s just this constant rolling horror story.”

The hard part of being a founder isn’t raising money, that’s the easy part.
It’s waking up for years wondering if it’ll ever work.
It’s hearing “no” constantly.
It’s choosing to believe when logic says you shouldn’t.
It’s pivoting for the 7th time in 3 years.
It’s watching your best teammates quit.
It’s pretending to be confident when you’re terrified inside.
It’s reinventing the company because the last product stalled at a few million in revenue.
It’s firing someone you personally recruited and still care about.
It’s being two payrolls away from death and still showing up every morning telling everyone you’ll win. It’s getting crushed by a competitor who just started. It’s sleepless nights because your brain won’t stop and the anxiety won’t leave.
It’s being in a constant state of not knowing what to do as the company evolves.
And it’s keeping at it anyway.
Everything is hard, and it compounds.
Stay in the game, win the game

Jobs are stressful. So is unemployment. Not finding a partner is stressful. So is having one. Working in an office is stressful. So is working with your hands. Having 50 clients is stressful. So is having none. Life is full of trade-offs. Don’t romanticise options you don’t know.
