💎 5 Tweet Tuesday 💎
If you’re new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw in the past 7 days.
I scroll, so you don’t have to.
Let’s get to it:

Don’t succumb to peer pressure, because they’re not your peers.

Good reminder. Only get peer pressured by people you actually want to be like, in that specific area of life!
(example: it’s good to get peer pressured by your fit friends, if you want to be fit)

My favorite play is coming to SF & tix are available.
"The Lehman Trilogy" is an epic 3.5h play that covers 160 yrs of history of the Lehman Brothers, with all characters played by only 3 actors. I saw it in London in 2019 and will see it again in SF. 👇🏾

Just bought tix to the Lehman brothers play next week. I wish there was more business entertainment out there. Right now my favorite ‘business movies/shows’ ever are:
Popular ones everyone knows about:
The Big Short
Silicon Valley HBO
Social Network
Jerry Mcguire (ok, not really a business movie, but a great movie)
Less Popular, But Great:
General Magic (documentary)
Boiler Room
Blackberry
The Apprentice (RIP)
Office Space

You should be less afraid of short term risk and more afraid of mediocrity. If the co crashes and burns in a 1 year, you’re only out 1 year. The investor loses all their money. Your nemesis is meh long term results. Investors don’t get returns either but it costs you extra time.

When I was 24, I wrote a memo to the company called “Mediocrity is the real risk”.
Failure is painful, but most businesses fail to get product-market-fit so it’s over quickly. The more dangerous thing is mediocrity, because it drains you of your most valuable asset, your time.

If I could go back in time I'd tell myself to learn how to code.
If I could give advice to current student's I'd tell them to learn how to read fast, write well, and communicate effectively.

In both cases, the real thing is learning how to ‘think’. Writing, coding, talking – these are all just ways to think out loud. Practicing doing them, is a stealth way to practice thinking.
