“If you can think, and speak, and write, you are absolutely deadly.” Learn to write because writing is thinking formalized.⁣ ⁣ First, you need a problem. A problem that grips you so that you feel a desire to investigate. The next thing you need to do is have something to say about the issue. And reading is brilliant for that. You should read as much as you can about how to address the problem you have.⁣ ⁣ Now you have new information at your disposal, and it’s your job to elegantly formulate that - while being precise in your word choice. You then organize your sentences correctly. And your paragraphs. Hopefully, now the whole thing is coherent enough to make sense.⁣ ⁣ While this is happening, you are sharpening your tools and integrating your personality at the highest and most abstract level of organization. You’re learning to think. And you improve your ability to think by learning to write. Pick some severe problems and learn to write very, very carefully.⁣ ⁣ If you are a competent writer, speaker - communicator - you have all of the authority and competence that there is.⁣ ⁣ Source: Maps of Meaning 6 (2017): Story and Metastory (Part 2).⁣ ⁣ #JordanPeterson #Competence #Thinking #Speaking #Writing #University

You want to gain a sense of discipline, without discipline you won’t accomplish much of anything in life. #robertgreene #psychology #wisdom #discipline ne

🚀 Why are Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Nikhil Kamath, and even Aravind from Perplexity obsessed with First Principles Thinking? Because it’s the #1 mindset shift that turns “impossible” into “inevitable.” Take Elon Musk → Everyone said EVs were too expensive. He broke it down: EVs → batteries → raw materials. Raw materials were cheap → the real problem was manufacturing. He solved that → Tesla was born. 👉 First Principles = Breaking problems into basic truths & rebuilding solutions from there. And here’s the good news: it’s not just for billionaires. You can use it in your job, career, or even college: 💡 Example: Struggling with “No Experience = No Job”? Break it down: Companies need skills, not years at a desk. Build those skills with free projects, volunteering, internships → showcase them → suddenly, you’ve removed the biggest barrier. 📈 That’s how you 100x your chances to crack opportunities. ✨ My takeaways: Don’t accept “it’s impossible” → ask “why?” Behind every big problem is a simple truth. Mastering First Principles = unfair career advantage. 🔥 Comment “Elon” below & I’ll send you 10 actionable First Principle strategies for you. 👥 Share this with a friend who’s job-hunting. ⚡ Follow for more bite-sized frameworks that change how you think. #FirstPrinciples #ElonMusk #CareerTips #MindsetShift #SamAltman #NikhilKamath

Daryl Anka on the 5 Principles Formula 🎉 #darylanka #bashar #selfmastery

The most terrifying thing I’ve learned about human development is that belief has more impact on learning speed than any other factor. The more someone believes in what they're learning, the faster they learn. This is why cults rise so quickly. And you learn fast when you know you’re learning from an expert. But no one is one hundred percent right, so when a group of people never question what they're doing, they eventually make a mistake with complete faith that they're right, and everything blows up. This is why cults fall so quickly. And if you trust the wrong expert, you can make even bigger mistakes than if you were on your own. The solution is to combine belief and critical thought. Question everything, then take action with total commitment. Then do it again. A critical mind is intelligent and slow. A faithful one is stupid and fast. But a mind that thinks critically while planning and keeps the faith while taking action develops wisdom and endurance. #mentalmodels #selfimprovement #selfdevelopment #mentalframeworks #motivation #inspiration #atx #atxpodcast

Perfectionism waits for the right moment. Consistency just shows up. Perfectionism sounds productive but it is often just fear dressed up as high standards. It keeps you stuck, tweaking, overthinking, and delaying because nothing ever feels quite ready enough. Consistency does not care about perfect. It cares about progress. The person who shows up at 70 percent every day will always outpace the person waiting to give 100 percent under ideal conditions that never arrive. Done repeatedly beats done perfectly every time. #Consistency #Perfectionism #Mindset #PersonalGrowth #Discipline​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The repetition of small things creates habits, those habits determine your future. The 1% each day creates your progress until you reach a certain point where you gain momentum and grow exponentially. Do not underestimate progressing a little every day in the right direction; that will be the beginning of your success. Any progress in the right direction is cause for celebration. Just focus on disciplining yourself, loving the process, enjoying it; that will give you the consistency to keep creating your desired reality ✍🏻 Speaker: @richroll #pursueyourpassion #habits #smallhabits #momentum #wisdom #successquotes #buildyourbusiness #consistency #1percent #workhard #action #buildup #makeyourdreamscometrue
