This song not only has a spine-chilling riff but has lyrics that echo the anthem of the sidewalk.

Downplaying the hardships of the producers to lead to their success ("money for nothing, chicks for free") while simultaneously being envious & wishing they were there ("I want my MTV"). People are talking about the riff, but the lyrics do stand out for a mindset you don't want to have.

A classic. I love this song.

Forget about New Year Resolutions, giving people false senses of hope for their unclear goals.

What are your goals for 2024 and how will you reach them?

I've already got my goals defined; I need to post them.

How will I achieve them? One step at a time. We can't be overwhelmed by the mountain, but we can take daily action towards it—iterate, iterate, iterate.

I know it's a boring response, but it's all it is.

Hellooooo fastlaners, I am the ghost of future to come.
I'm posting from the future of 2024, we still don't have flying cars, but we do have persistent inflation and the democraps advocating for estate and boosted income taxes.
Will you accept eating dirt in the rat race, or try to do something different this year and unscript yourself?

Yuja Wang released an album of Rachmaninoff a few months ago, and it’s incredible.

I think if I had to choose a handful of tracks I could only listen to for the rest of my life, it would be his 2nd piano concerto and variation 18.

Incredible.

It's the 1st of January 2024.

I'm 29, haven't had a job for a year, lost 90% of my blogging income for violating CENTS, live at my parents', have no clue where I'd like to go live as I've already lived everywhere, have no work experience, no prospects for finding a job, no girlfriend, and my friends hardly want to hang out which I can't blame them for.

I just have this forum to tell this to, which I'm really grateful for.

This year will be decisive. Wish me luck.

Alternatively you could say "Being 29 gives me the perfect mix of being young and experience which is a great time to explore new avenues. Not having multiple commitments taking up my time gives me an opportunity to reflect, and set new meaningful goals and, if necessary, upskill. I now know a few things that don't work for me. Not being in a relationship is a whole lot better than being in a crappy one and gives me the freedom to truly understand what I am looking for in a relationship."

I thought this was so valuable, that I had to post it here:

An absolute masterclass on organizational & personal productivity, and decision making.

This guy also has one of the best books I've ever read called "Impossible, Unless..?" which takes into account the achievement of impossible goals, antifragility, theory of constraints, decision making etc. And it's not even on amazon.

Certainly one of those under-recognized books @MJ DeMarco talks about.

I read this as @Antifragile being interviewed. Talk about branding, I thought this was the man himself!

Focus on school, once you get better at school and you can keep consistent, good grades then add to it with your fastlane ventures. Don't exhaust your brain by trying to juggle multiple things at once.

He also recently published his new book that I got as a Christmas present. Not a bad read.

Someone whose content in the service based business sector I was REALLY enjoying, has just started putting out a bunch of collab content with Grant Cardone

There's still a lot of good things I'll be able to take from his previous content, of which there is a lot, but that's ruined it for me going forward now. He's really sucking his nuts too.

Tigran by any chance. Just a random guess.

Don't let the abuse get to your head and heart.

It's a good thing you know there's a problem...and the problem is bad. How many kids just let the shit remain
on their report cards until they flunk out of school?

Check this book out to give you a clearer understanding on doing math and science better:

A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) 1, Oakley, Barbara - Amazon.com

A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) - Kindle edition by Oakley, Barbara. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading A Mind For Numbers: How to...

www.amazon.com

I was a science stream student myself, and even for my college degrees, I picked some math-y majors: finance and business analytics. While the bulk of my routines just involved hitting up practice questions...looking back at the book, I had been using many of what it preached without realising it.

You can have a future.

But only if you take the courage to solve your problems-- even if its just one at a time.

This is what we believe in this Forum.

I never understood why anyone put a slob used car salesman like that on TV just to yell and wave his arms about stonks.

It’s f’ing weird the type of things people will do for YouTube views.
And it’s also sad that it’s effective.

This is the new strategy in marketing where it's OK to use thumbnails that are complete lies, fabrications, or fake.

But marketers don't care because "It'S eFfeCtIve aNd MarKetinG GurU SaiD it OK To MaKE ShiT uP."

How do you get the speedway pass role?

I believe 100+ posts.

It works, but it's very shortsighted. It's similar to prioritizing shareholders over customers: it makes more money in the short term at a huge loss in the long term. I've definitely watched videos with fabricated thumbnails so it got a view. But then I blocked the channel entirely.
