"To a strong man achievement is the only applause of value—the making of his point. Many years ago I heard this story of Bismarck. If it is not true, it ought to be. And if it is not true specifically, it is true abstractly. He had just returned from one of his notable diplomatic victories at the beginning of his career; great crowds had assembled for a speech. Bismarck heard it all, but smoked and drank his beer and gave no sign. His secretary rushed in with excitement, and said:
"You must go out and acknowledge the applause of the people, and make a speech."
"And why," said Bismarck; "why do they want me to speak; why are they applauding me?"
"Because of your great success in these negotiations," said the secretary.
"Humph!" said Bismarck, "suppose I had failed?" and turned back to his smoking and his beer.
Bismarck, you see, was too great for applause."

Yet another study has found that premarital sex leads to higher rates of divorce
This study shows that premarital sex increases risk of divorce regardless of religiosity, traditional values, and upbringing, with risk of divorce increasing with the number of premarital sexual partners.
The study also shows this effect to be equally true for both men and women.

🛠 🇺🇸 More Gen Z workers are going into trades as disenchantment with the college track continues, and rising pay and new technologies shine up plumbing and electrical jobs
🔶️ The rise of generative AI is changing the career calculus for some young people. The majority of respondents Jobber surveyed said they thought blue-collar jobs offered better job security than white-collar ones, given the growth of AI.
🔶️ Enrollment in vocational training programs is surging as overall enrollment in community colleges and four-year institutions has fallen. The number of students enrolled in vocational-focused community colleges rose 16% last year to its highest level since the National Student Clearinghouse began tracking such data in 2018. The ranks of students studying construction trades rose 23% during that time, while those in programs covering HVAC and vehicle maintenance and repair increased 7%.
🔶️ “It feels good at the end of the day, I’m physically doing something and there’s a sense of completion,” he says.
🔶️ A shortage of skilled tradespeople, brought on as older electricians, plumbers and welders retire, is driving up the cost of labor, as many sticker-shocked homeowners embarking on repairs and renovations in recent years have found.
🔶️ The median pay for new construction hires rose 5.1% to $48,089 last year. By contrast, new hires in professional services earned an annual $39,520, up 2.7% from 2022, according to data from payroll-services provider ADP.
That’s the fourth year that median annual pay for new construction hires has eclipsed earnings for new hires in both the professional services and information sectors—such as accountants or IT maintenance workers—ADP says.

The way to stop procrastination is to stop doing something and start doing NOTHING
Yes you read that correctly
When people procrastinate they usually substitute their desired activity for another non productive activity like scrolling, listening to music, playing vidya etc
(Note: it doesn’t even have to be a negative activity to be procrastination. Sometimes you’ll workout, or read, or go for a walk, when what you really know you need to do is work. Procrastination is about priority vs non priority)
Because of this they never get to feel the full weight of their inaction in the moment because they’re burying it by substituting positive action for time passing action
Whenever you feel there’s something you need to do and you just can’t quite bring yourself to do it STOP EVERYTHING YOU’RE DOING
Sit down and stare at the f*cking wall or stare off into space. no talking, no moving, no activity. Just you and your inner voice.
In a short amount of time you start to feel how much time and life is being wasted, you get sick of hearing your mind tell you what you should be doing.
Eventually you get forced into action
