1/ "Speed is king" - Alex Hormozi

Life is short.

Make the most out of it.

You can only do so much in a lifetime.

Get good at decision-making and choosing options.

2/ Growth > current situation

"It doesn't matter who you are. What matters is who you are becoming." - paraphrasing Sam Ovens

Nothing is permanent.

Enjoy the growth.

Grow faster if you can.

3/ Skill is king

Be "So Good They Can't Ignore You" - Cal Newport

Skill, knowledge, and wisdom > passion & productivity

4/ Deliberate practice volume is king

practice > talent

5/ Learning has a lot more benefits than you can think of.

Teaching is the best way to learn.

Be a teacher. (and enjoy reading books)

6/ Your parents are not the wisest and most successful people in the world.

There are so many wiser and more successful people in the world.

You can learn from the best thanks to internet.

7/ Feeling good and being happy is like salt.

It improves the taste of everything in life.

Though when you are too positive and ignore the negative, the taste becomes too salty.

Enjoy life, enjoy the Now.

• 3) skill is king
