learning on the internet feels like buying a car and suddenly noticing others who have it everywhere you go.
you start learning about a particular topic and suddenly you see it in newsletters, tweets, blog posts, youtube videos.
fun stuff :)

Improve your writing by imitating the writing of someone you admire
Stephen King says in ‘On Writing’ —
Imitation preceded creation [!]; I would copy Combat Casey comics word for word in my Blue Horse tablet, sometimes adding my own descriptions where they seemed appropriate.
If you can disconnect from feedback emotionally, you'll always have a growth advantage.
Everything is just information.
If you can overcome the tendency to take it personally, you can capitalize on every opportunity to show up as a more effective person.

when i think about what my life would have been like had i gone to med school and accomplished my high school “dream,” i’m not sure i’d be living out *my* purpose. all of my life would look completely different.

anesthesiologist was top of the list so i decided that’s what i was going to be.
after years of studying cellular biology, i felt in my gut it wasn’t for me.
so i dropped out of college and dove straight into the business world. eventually making my way to the startup world!

life never goes as planned.
in high school we had a project of creating a resume for our dream job. since i was decent at math and science, i figured being a doctor would be cool. (plus, i’m the child of an immigrant. iykyk)
i googled, “what doctor makes the most money?”

The President has been briefed by the Secretary of Transportation this morning on the FAA system outage. There is no evidence of a cyberattack at this point, but the President directed DOT to conduct a full investigation into the causes. The FAA will provide regular updates.

looks like twitter is taking tiktok’s UX of separate “for you” and “following” feeds

there are two types of people:
1) those that say everything they need to say in a single text
2) or
those who send

We place a weirdly high premium on survivability, earning stripes, weeding out--as if the only way to make people great, or understand who has the potential for greatness, is to see how far they can be pushed before they burn out completely. What if we nurtured greatness instead?

the views count on tweets is so gaudy. it should be buried in “view tweet activity”
