you're not what you say you are, you're how you behave you're not what you say you'll do, you're what you do you are not your interests, curiosities, or affections you are your actions. human actions.

There are exactly two things that determine how our lives turn out: the quality of our decisions and luck. Learning to recognize the difference between the two is what thinking in bets is all about. —Annie Duke

finally got my subscribe function working 🫠 self-hosted Ghost blogs require third party SMTP tokens for you to use the newsletter functionality, and try to convenience you into signing up for the fairly expensive Mailgun service to do it turns out i was able to use my existing (paid) Proton account instead by asking nicely. they haven't enabled SMTP tokens for all users yet. anyway, consider subscribing ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

"The man who focuses on efforts and who stresses his downward authority is a subordinate no matter how exalted his title and rank. But the man who focuses on contribution and who takes responsibility for results, no matter how junior, is in the most literal sense of the phrase, 'top management.' He holds himself accountable for the performance of the whole." —Peter Drucker, from The Effective Executive this book still slaps #bookstr

pv fam 🤙🌅 reminder that you are under no obligation to be the same person you were yesterday new habits, new rules, and new projects are fair game no need to ask for anyone's permission, you can just start

"For those that are still skeptical [of #bitcoin] I would say  allocate100 hours of your life to study it. The average person works 2,000 hours a year for 40 years. You're going to work 80,000 hours in your life to make money—you should work 100 hours of your life to keep it. It's really a tragedy that you would work for 40 or 50,000 hours and then lose all your money because it's ripped off or debased away because you didn't know where to store it." —Michael Saylor
