Happiness is just a positive perception from our brain. Some days, you will be unhappy. Our brain is a tool we use. It's not who we are.
James AltucherYour competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who donโt support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.
James AltucherEvery game, and almost every life situation, has short cuts: ways you can get better without learning the entire literature of the game from beginning to end.
