my biggest lessons this year: (1) our time here on earth is extremely short so enjoy your life; (2) value the things you care about and say no to things that don't matter; (3) accept things the way they are, not what they're supposed to be

following the "safe" path carries the biggest risk of all: not unlocking your true potential

trends will come and go. genuinely passionate people will stay.

if everyone can be a winner in a game, it won't be exciting

every financial advice: if you bought ___ years ago, you would be ___x richer

reading books is like listening to music. if it doesn't click in the first few seconds, move on to the next one

fake it until you no longer care if you make it

if you ride on every trend you see, you'll miss out on yours

life is short so make it meaningful life is long so make it enjoyable

passion projects can tell you how much you love doing something

imposter syndrome is what happens when we let other people decide that we're not qualified

the only way to change people's opinions is by being a good example, not by telling them to change

your no gives power to your yes

it takes more courage to do less than more

a negative mindset turns optimism to wishful thinking

jobs that you can learn in a "crash course" are the ones that will get automated first

remember that your eyes used to be stardust floating in space

effort should be seen as a result not a requirement

filipinos when starting something new: "try lang"

when working with others, we need structure. when working by ourselves, we need freedom.

money can't buy happiness but it can give you the ability to do anything you want at any time, for as long as you want - and that pretty much sounds like happiness to me
