During the past 15 days, I have had many people around me contract COVID-19. Folks in multiple parts of the US, Europe, and Brazil.
Fortunately, all were vaccinated and no severe cases, although I have observed two cases of “long-covid”, which does seem a bit scary, especially given the brain fog that many talks about.
I was looking at the numbers this morning and was surprised that yesterday we had over 100,000 registered infections in the US.
A similar number that 12 months ago would have been extremely alarming.
Like many diseases, we have finally adapted and learned how to live with yet another challenge.
Human resilience is fantastic. I am thankful for the fact that I have not caught anything, despite traveling extensively.
Have a blessed weekend.
As Stoics, our motto is to "Live According to Nature". Seneca talks about this in a lovely manner on Letter from a Stoic.
In this episode I had a chat with my great friend Kevin Lee. The determination and Hustle Kevin Lee has is hard to find and inspires me.
Quickly I realized that time management is a crucial part of being a good VC. Being “default to yes” is a poor strategy. Focus is key.
