Smart people know what they can and cannot control
If you're living in the past, you're nostalgic
If you're living in the future, you're anxious
If you're living in the present, you're at peace
Life is crazy. Today is a good day to stop and reflect
10 simple questions that CHANGED my life
(startup life, personal life)
Here they are:
Smart people know what they can and cannot control
If you're living in the past, you're nostalgic
If you're living in the future, you're anxious
If you're living in the present, you're at peace
Starting every day with a victory sets you up to win
I don't care what it is:
- Make your bed
- Make a wonderful coffee
- Hug your wife or children
No such thing as a small win. It's a win!
You'll win more, if you start winning early

1. Money
2. Freedom
3. Stability
4. Ability
The world rewards those who are focused
Perfectly prioritize
Remember:
1. Reacting is emotional
2. Responding is rational
My most terrible mistakes are when I act emotionally. True in both my startup and personal life
Act rational (especially on the internet)
90% of the time: how you say it matter more than what you say
The art of the disagreement is underrated
Disagreement breeds productive conversations
No disagreement, no growth
Don't focus on building success, focus on earning trust
Trust is the rarest commodity on earth
If you can earn trust, you can build anything
Every game has rules. Startup game, crypto game or school game
Success is 40% talent and 60% understanding how to beat the game.
Key: don’t hate the player, know the rules
People are busy
When you want something from someone, just say it
Beating around the bush is a sin
- "When you’re 20 you care what everyone thinks
- When you’re 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks
- When you’re 60 you realize no one was thinking about you in the first place." - Reddit
Seeking the truth is courageous
Validating your beliefs is easy
Good learning is slow
And it's your ticket to a new job, raising capital, product market fit or startup success
Good learning sticks around longer
Point: learn slow to learn well
I hope something your childhood self would be proud of
Explain this to me in one sentence

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
