10 Life Lessons You Won't Learn Anywhere Else.
By nature man should learn, adapt and survive,
It's through pain that you learn the greatest secrets of life, things we ignore but really matter,
Which lessons?
Let's see,
People change,
Times change,
Feelings change,
When this happens, take a step back, don't bitch around, feel, heal and move on. Create your reality.
It is what it is, just does not work,
You have to make it work, so you must learn,
Faster to even outrun your capabilities.
Be careful with heights, it's slippery and way too far down.
Actually, the best relationships are made by people who don't need each other.
Chances of dilemma presented before them will determine your worth on standoff.
Those below you have no option but to love you anyway,
Loving you becomes a necessity because it's more beneficial than hating.
All in all, be alert because your team helps you prepare for a battle but fight alone.
You and I both know people make time for what they want. Life's not getting easier on you because you are not ready.
The higher the risk, the higher the gain.
Are they telling the truth or lying,
How will you leap what you didn't sow?
Don't be good because of any gain. Be good because it's right.
Until next time,
Do you think that was all true?
Let's say,
"Hell Yeah!"

How to get smarter very fast:
Interact with smart people here on Twitter who have different world-views than you do.
And let them change your mind on something.
Here are the 30 people you should follow (along with my favorite tweet from each)👇👇
Twitter can be terrible if you follow negative people.
It can also be more valuable than a college degree if you follow (and network with) the right people.
You get to look right into their brain and read a daily narrative of HOW they think.
Ok lets go:

Moats should be:
- Hard to learn and hard to do (but perhaps easier for you)
- Skills that are rare and valuable
- Legible
- Compounding over time
- Unique to your own talents & interests https://t.co/bB3k1YcH5b

"I really want to break into Product Management"
make products.
"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."
Make Products.
"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."
MAKE PRODUCTS.
Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
