I have reframed my perception of laziness. They aren't lazy, they are lost. Context matters. Of course, not every lazy person is lost. A majority of the time this appears to be relatively true, anecdotally.

Of all the things I have imagined in life, I must unequivocally say, that what has happened in the past few months was something I never thought was remotely possible. My friend is fighting against her ex-husband for custody of her children.

Would you trade places with Warren Buffet just to have his billions of dollars? But he's really old. If you would not take that deal, then you must value time over billions of dollars, right? Then start treating your time like it is valued too.

Haven't shared this because it's embarrassing, but here I go:

If there is one single thing that I want to do most in life, it's to find a conference where every VC is at, and they have you come out like some shark tank like effect.

The 1 mistake anyone in #100devs can possibly make? To be anti-social and never make friends with people who are grinding their way to a new life. I believe this is called networking? Trust me when I say that you can reach 35 and have no real network by avoiding others. wait, I'm 35...

We focus on the negatives too much. Looking back at 2024, what wins did you have this year?
No matter what you're experiencing in life, remember, that the wins you get do compound eventually. Keep paying the hard work. In time, you will receive dividends, like stocks.
