Today, I turn 19 years old.

My best quality?

→ I learn the best from the best.

🧵 These 19 people have taught me 19 different things.

Time for a thread👇👇👇


Quick note:

I realize that all the superstars mentioned in this thread are not one-dimensional. No one is.

This is a compilation of how I am implementing these qualities and insights from their lives, to my life.

And I hope I help you do so too!

1/ Be courageous like @brandonthezhang

Brandon himself is quite young but he never let age keep him back.

One opportunity, to the next → Starting with @visualizevalue to building his personal brand and launching his podcast 🚀

Age is indeed just a number for him.

2/ Be generous like @jamierusso

Jamie is definitely one of the kindest souls I have encountered on Twitter.

He is a prime example of how being nice and always willing to help out (regardless of size of account), helps in the long run.

Congratulations on your book 💙

3/ Steal like @AlexLlullTW

Twitter is a game.

And I haven't seen anyone talk about it more openly than Alex.

Tips, tricks, and also the formats — he shares it all. I love it when he's open about "stealing" formats from other people. That's how everyone in the community grows.

If you use it right, your Twitter account is worth more than your degree.

But 98.8% suck at it.

Here are 9 unique ways to turn Twitter into a crazy valuable asset:

Highly Curate Your Following

99% of users follow real-time news on Twitter.

That's okay. But you won't make Twitter an asset then.

To make it an asset, build a high-signal information diet.

You'll see it as a whole new opportunity.

Let me show you...

Use Twitter Lists

I find way too much news, drama and irrelevant ideas on the Twitter timeline.

I use Twitter lists to cut the noise and amplify the signal.

Bonus: Lists aren't affected by the algorithm.

Here's a video to get started on Lists:


Use Advanced Search

Scrape the internet to find what you want:

"(from:aaditsh) min_faves:1000 marketing"

Tweets with "marketing" from @aaditsh with more than 1000 likes.

Another favorite:

"(from:aaditsh) until:2021-09-01 since:2021-05-01"

Between May and September.

Mute Trolls

Trust me. They're not worth your time.

Click on a profile that annoys you.

Click "more" → "mute profile".

You won't "block" them but their content will become hidden on your timeline.

It's so peaceful.

Most people suck at being interesting via DMs.

The thing is - it takes a lot of time and effort to do it right.

Here are 9 frameworks to stand out from the crowd:

Pre-game:

Start on the timeline:

1. Turn on notifications for your favorite tweeters.

2. Reply with something insightful in under 10 minutes.

You will enter their radar.

Then, follow up on a specific tweet or idea via DM.


Don't make "connections", make friends:

Remember: Twitter is different.

You don't have an audience-consumer relationship like LinkedIn or TikTok.

On Twitter, it's a friend-friend relationship.

Write a catchy first line:

By the design of Twitter DMs, you don't have much real estate.

In "message requests", you only see the name of the person + the first few words.

Crazy part: I get 30 of these DMs per day.

Make sure the first line is eye-catching.

Crucial.

Be specific as f*ck:

General compliments and feedback are useless.

To stand out, ask this question to yourself:

What do you *actually* like about them or their work?

High specificity means you're genuine.

Being genuine will get you more friends.

Lie: School sets you up for the real world.

If you want to win at life, you need to learn to figure it out.

How to figure anything out:

Accept that you don't know it all:

First, normalize not knowing everything. It's okay.

The ones that know a lot continue to ask questions.

Speak less. Ask more.

Curiosity wins:

Be ready to be a student again. Know that it never stops — lifelong learning.

The universe appreciates genuine curiosity.

Friends, the internet & communities will give you what you want if show genuine interest.

Be positive-sum — want others to win:

The more you give, the more you get.

If people around you are winning, you will win (at some point).

Surround yourself with winners and help them win big.

Use Youtube:

The greatest search engine of all time

You can literally learn anything for free if you:

• Are curious enough
• Show up every day

Here are some of the best places to

Some people really benefit from hearing advice that everyone knows, for the same reason we keep schools open despite every subject in them having been taught before.

In that spirit, here's some quick Things Many People Find Too Obvious To Have Told You Already.

Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution. You think you are an exception; you are not. You should not insist on an NDA to talk about it; nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

Technologists tend to severely underestimate the difficulty and expense of creating software, especially at companies which do not have fully staffed industry leading engineering teams ("because software is so easy there, amirite guys?")

Charge more. Charge more still. Go on.

The press is a lossy and biased compression of events in the actual world, and is singularly consumed with its own rituals, status games, and incentives. The news necessarily fails to capture almost everything which happened yesterday. What it says is important usually isn't.

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.

It's another day to expose Peter Alabi @pastorpeealabi of @HoFChurchNG & @ChristTribe. More victims have reached out to us. Unknown to many, Peter Alabi is actually an unrepentant serial sexual abuser. We know that he's been lying that he has repented and that the stories...

... we have put out so far are only with reference to what happened years back. But we can also confirm that he continued to prey on more victims even after he left Ife in 2016. We also know that Peter Alabi made serious attempts to sleep with some ladies during the lockdown...

A victim, who was one of those Peter Alabi tried to sleep with during the Covid-19 lockdown has shared with us some of the chats between her and Peter Alabi, which were initiated by Peter Alabi. According to the victim, when Peter Alabi's intentions became obvious, she decided...

... to play along and act like she was in concert with him. This eventually made Peter Alabi to reveal his covert intentions to sleep with her. The chat began on Instagram in March 2020 and continued on WhatsApp till June 2020. We will be sharing screenshots of the Instagram...

... chats below. Later today, we will share the WhatsApp chats which are more revealing and expository. Please see the screenshots of the Instagram chats between Peter Alabi (peterayoalabi) and the victim below👇🏾 @oauchristians @HoFChurchNG @peterayoalabi @funlola_alabi

Spent a quaint half hour in a cafe listening to a guy yell at his dad after his dad said that the women Trump molested wanted it: "Dad, that's like saying the Jews who died in the Holocaust were asking for it!" ENJOY YOUR TERRIBLE FAMILIES THIS WEEK!

"Mom, has a man ever touched you without your consent?"
"Of course."
"Did you report it?"
"No."
"Dad, your WIFE has been through this!"

Dad was unmoved and told the guy to stop arguing with him.

At this point we learned the boy child has allergies.

I forgot to remark upon the presence of the very cute grandson, who was very small and gave not one shit about the yelling. I believe a sister or aunt was present and feeling very stressed. I wanted to hand her a Xanax or seven.

It was really hard to not jump in and say, "Sounds like you guys are going to have a fun meal tomorrow!" so they could unite in hatred against me, the outsider, and stop squabbling. Instead I exchanged glances with a nearby fellow lady patron, who also emotionally ate a cookie.

Anyway, I want to thank the random family for yelling about rape and the Holocaust in an Israeli cafe in the US of A today because it reminded me that while this country isn't the greatest, it is inevitably my stupid favorite and I am never, ever bored.

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
