Cynicism feels like intelligence… Pessimism feels like maturity.

Both are just mental laziness dressed up as wisdom.

It takes no skill to call out what’s broken.

The real work is imagining what’s better—and building it.

The more you think about yourself, the more miserable you get.

Everyone dreams big until they see the price tag.

@Audiobooks_collection

People think you have to be "so sophisticated" to do big things, and the truth is - you don't.

You just have to be relentless about taking action again & again and learning on the way forward.

Life is actually quite funny.

One day you’re wishing for something, and the next, you have it.

But you forget you were once wishing for it, so then you just take it for granted and start wishing for something else, for something better.

The weight of the tasks undone and issues ignored is always heavier than the burden of handling them head-on. Avoidance is the most toxic trait you can develop, and it will quietly poison all your life.

People who warn you about "hustle culture," should warn you more about poverty.

Sometimes the only way out, is through.

@Audiobooks_collection

If you come from a poor background - just freaking go for the fences.

Play big, be audacious, take chances.

What's going to happen to you? End up poor?

The worst case is that you end up where you started - and the most likely scenario is that you don't.

Go for it.

When something is gone, something better is coming.

A mask doesn’t fool the mirror. You can’t separate who you are from what you do.

My father, never a rich man, gave me some advice: “If you want to really help the poor, son, don’t be one of them.” It took me awhile to understand the full depth of what that meant.

YOUR LACK OF URGENCY IS DESTROYING YOUR POTENTIAL.

@Audiobooks_collection

You can try your hardest and work yourself to the bone for them, but unless the effort is mutual, nothing will change.You can't change someone's behavior by loving them harder.

The things we choose to ignore

If you don’t choose your priorities, the world will choose for you.

@Audiobooks_collection

Avoiding hard conversations doesn’t save you from pain. It just postpones it and multiplies it later. Problems don’t fix themselves. They grow. Facing them early might be uncomfortable, but it’s the only way to keep them from taking over more than they should.
