💎 5 Tweet Tuesday 💎

If you're new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets i saw.

I scroll, so you don't have to!

Let's dive in:

#1 💎

Companies are built on Sundays.
Plan on Sunday.
Execute the plan Monday thru Thursday.
Clean up Friday.
Rest on Saturday.

Totally agree. I find that 2 hours of thinking/planning on Sunday can save me 10 hours during the week

#2 💎

@ESYudkowsky A nontrivial part of the value of YC is that we give people a high-status brand under which to do low-status things. Being able to tell your parents "I got funded by YC" gives you cover to do things that don't scale.

So true.

A few other examples of high-status brands that let you do low-status things:

Military training (crawl through mud, carry shit)
Universities (4 year excuse to chill/party)
Crossfit

#3 💎

Big piece of getting to the next level is just seeing what the next level is
That’s why the best way to get better is by surrounding yourself with those that are better

This reminds me of when Warren Buffett was a young man. He asked his hero Ben Graham if he could work for him, for free.

Graham looked at him and said “you’re overpriced”
