Who says 43 is late ?
• I went to uni at 28
• I met my true love at 32
• I became an architect at 39
• I managed over $500M projects at 41
• I embarked on my academic career at 43
And before 50, I'll be a NYT bestselling author.
There’s no perfect age to improve yourself.
You’re never too late.

I’m in love with this quote:
“If you can overthink the worst, why can’t you overthink the best.”
“If you can overthink the worst, why can’t you overthink the best.”

Yesterday, I was blind.
My eyes were dilated. I couldn’t see all afternoon.
Everything that felt urgent meant nothing once my body shut down.
So I went home. I rested. Rest won.

Who’s really winning?
The $300K bitcoin bro stuck in traffic in their silly Telsa Cybertruck after a snowstorm, gripping the steering wheel and watching the minutes slip away.
or
This guy who takes the train, reads quietly, and arrives calm to the city without all that road rage?

Today is a snow day.
Fresh air, cold lungs, and slow movement during this monster winter storm.
Short run outside at 6 AM (to clear the mind).
I treat days like this as a mental reset.
Stillness is an asset most people ignore in our go-go-go culture.
Grateful to nature for the pause.

Are you stuck, uninspired, and questioning all your life choices right now?
Just remember no one is coming to save you, and apparently sprinting through the snow like a deranged philosopher is the fastest way to get new ideas.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

The antidote for burnout is going back to something simple: playing outside
Playing in the snow helps us rebuild presence, joy, and a sense of aliveness. Step outside, feel the cold air, move your body, laugh a little, and let yourself be unproductive on purpose.

I highly recommend being friends with ambitious people.
Their drive pushes you to also work hard for yourself.
They inspire you to do better, be better. Their good traits rub off on you.
You start to want better for yourself and you grow.

They asked:
“Why is it important to be kind?”
I said:
Because we walk past hundreds of people every day, and none of them wear signs that say, “I’m grieving,” “I’m exhausted,” or “I’m barely holding it together.”
But they’re everywhere.
Kindness might be the only softness they receive today.
