Luck favours the bold and punishes the timid.

A dumb, bold man will always surpass an intelligent, timid man.

Without the balls to attempt to take what’s yours the probability of you getting it is zero.

The bridge between knowledge and skill is practice. The bridge between skill and mastery is time.

It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we really are.

The Surfer Mentality:

When a surfer gets up on a wave, they enjoy the present moment, even though they know with certainty that the wave will eventually end. They fully enjoy THIS wave, with the wisdom and awareness that there are always more waves coming.

I promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best in myself and others.

There is scientific evidence to prove that expectations can create reality.

The Pygmalion Effect is a behavioral phenomenon in which the level of expectations placed on a subject impact their level of performance:

- High expectations lead to high performance.
- Low expectations lead to low performance.

Those who have high expectations are more likely to internalize these expectations and improve their performance accordingly. Those who have low expectations are more likely to internalize these expectations and weaken their performance accordingly.

Establish excellence as your expectation and you will build that reality.

I promise to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.


Want to get ahead in life? Start genuinely rooting for others to succeed. Adopt a positive sum mentality—when one of us wins, we all win.

This will make you a magnet for the highest quality people.

And relatedly, be diligent in removing the people from your life who don't cheer for your victories.

I promise to give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.


Your entire life will change the moment you stop worrying about what others are doing and start focusing on what you’re doing.

The time you spend comparing yourself to others is much better spent investing in yourself. The only comparison worth making is to you from yesterday.

I promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble to press on me.

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances." - Viktor Frankl

None of these promises are easy, but our power exists in our ability to choose:

- Our own attitude
- Our own way
- Our own response


When we embrace that power, nothing can touch us.
