One of the inspiring "quotes" that I actually remembered:

Q: How do you motivate yourself? A: You don't. You just do it.

What about you?

There ain’t no free lunch…

Iterate.

When done consistently, you'll get extremely far slowly.

Runners call this pacing. Writers call this drafting. Actors call this rehearsal.

There is no bad that doesn’t come for the good

Patience is the key to happiness.

Be active. Be curious. Work hard. Take care of your family. Control what you can, don't sweat what you can't. Be humble. Stack sats.

MMOB (mind my own business)

EAT WORK SLEEP BITCOIN REPEAT!

Good products don't need marketing/advertising/shilling/orange-pilling/narratives. The best business plan and go-to-market strategy is having the best product.

To sell something is to "un-buy" it. To sell, is to wish you had never bought. ~ Warren Buffet

If you find yourself on the side of the majority, its time to pause and reflect. ~ Mark Twain

Democracy is rule by the people. And the people are retarded ~ Osho

If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. ~ Thomas Jefferson

The Tree of Liberty must be watered, from time to time, with the blood of tyrants ~ Thomas Jefferson

I don’t have a problem with someone using their talents to become successful, I just don’t think the highest calling is success. Things like freedom and the expansion of knowledge are beyond success, beyond the personal. Personal success is not wrong, but it is limited in importance, and once you have enough of it it is a shame to keep striving for that, instead of for truth, beauty, or justice. ~ Richard Stallman

Help only those who want to be helped

Simple as this....

That's all there is to it.

Many are personal, but this principle is general enough:

The only thing that comes to mind is "Dont explain dont complain" but im not fully living up to it so hmm

"waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius

live and let live

Have daily routine.

stack, spend, repeat

Michael Saylor has 10 good phrases for life:

A lot of people would do a lot better in life if they'd start the day with watching video's of the Milgram and Asch experiments.

10 commandments works for me

100% Freedom.

Everything is a scam until proven otherwise by rigorous, thorough inspection and validation. If there is room for doubt, err on the side of caution.

always be prepared

"Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine"

You get what you expect.

Wear sunscreen

The 10 commandments.

Why? Because the accumulated wisdom of tens of thousands of years of humanity is included in them whether you believe in god or not.

Not sure why people ignore them today; everyone too smart I guess.

Don't ascribe to malice anything that can be explained by stupidity.

Time is the only limited resource.

Having children and passing along your values is likely the only achievable form of immortality.

Most people are followers. A few are leaders. Only a small handful of individuals look at the others and say "whoaa, the leaders are assholes, the followers are dumb, so I'm gonna just wing it on my own".

At the same time, whatever gifts you have or don't have, including the ability to think for yourself, are beyond your control, so be charitable.

Human ability has a normal distribution. This is true for any cross section you take. Never assume that a specific profession has a monopoly on a portion of the curve. In other words, the average doctor/engineer/lawyer/etc is still an idiot.

Honesty is a rare commodity.

Words are infinitely powerful, so watch your tongue.

More than could be quickly written here, but essentially do no harm unless harm is done to you, stress little and laugh often, say thankyou and be grateful for every day good or bad, be as useful as possible and help when and where I can.
