This weekend I watched this cool fireside chat between Jeff Bezos and his brother. Watch it in one sitting rather than in pieces.
Daily, before I leave my bedroom for the day I stare at this post-it note that says "legacy is built daily". It is a powerful reminder.
It goes well with "Bezos Day 1 policy", or the discipline that I see Sequoia Capital insert in their companies, with their anti-shortcuts approach, mixed with daily paranoia, Grove style.
It reminded me of the importance of family and world exploration.
It made me think that I need to venture out a bit more and not stare at my phone so much.
I doubt that Bezos would have quit his Wall Street job if he didn't have such stellar grandparents that taught him grit from a young age.
Nobody becomes this wealthy and powerful by accident.
Also, I love his approach to dating.
"I want a woman that can break me out of a third world prison."
Same.
I have been self-quarantining for the past 10 days as I have presented all COVID-19 symptoms. Some people close to me also tested positive.
At least in my network, I am traveling prolifically since COVID started. I have been to over 25 different cities, multiple states in the US and in Brazil.
Genuine appreciation doesn’t come from others. It comes from not allowing any external circumstances to be in your to be in your way.
