This weekend I watched this cool fireside chat between Jeff Bezos and his brother. Watch it in one sitting rather than in pieces.
Daily, before I leave my bedroom for the day I stare at this post-it note that says "legacy is built daily". It is a powerful reminder.
It goes well with "Bezos Day 1 policy", or the discipline that I see Sequoia Capital insert in their companies, with their anti-shortcuts approach, mixed with daily paranoia, Grove style.
It reminded me of the importance of family and world exploration.
It made me think that I need to venture out a bit more and not stare at my phone so much.
I doubt that Bezos would have quit his Wall Street job if he didn't have such stellar grandparents that taught him grit from a young age.
Nobody becomes this wealthy and powerful by accident.
Also, I love his approach to dating.
"I want a woman that can break me out of a third world prison."
Same.
Many are talking about the risk of inflation, including the FED. Powell's latest speech touched on that point. He thinks inflation will be temporary.
2017 was the most challenging year of my life. I had depression. I thought about suicide a couple of times. Often things felt scary.
I recently read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. I highly recommend you take a look and spend time reflecting on how you can be better at some of them.
