π 5 Tweet Tuesday π
If youβre new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw in the past seven days.
I scroll, so you donβt have to.
Letβs get to it:

Competence is how good you are when there is something to gain. Character is how good you are when there is nothing to gain.
People will reward you for competence. But people will only love you for your character.

Beautifully said. This Mark Manson guy should write books or something...
this is why it's a huge red flag if someone is rude to a waiter or intern.

So many YouTube channels are just modern versions of old TV shows:
Airrack β Impractical Jokers
Mark Rober β MythBusters
David Dobrik β Friends
Caleb Simpson β MTV Cribs
Yes Theory β Fear Factor
NELK β JackassTake an old TV show. Optimise it. Boom.

I like this framing. What feels "new" is just a remix of the old.
MrBeast hosts game shows. Nelk Boys are Jackass. Deestroying is the new And1 Mixtape Tour.
Who's recreating Pimp My Ride?

my friend recently sent me a slide deck about the story of his life (for a presentation he gave at tiger21)
I've known him for 10+ years, but didn't know half of the stories in the slides (he dropped out of school for a year to work at a gas station his parents bought??)
it was awesome. i wish all my friends did this.
we need TED for friendships

In physical domains (diet, workouts), consistency is king. In intellectual & social domains, wins are rare, sudden, and nonlinear - 99% of effort is βwasted.β Once we find our ideal spouse, career, friends, we realize how much time we squandered by not moving on sooner.

I like this insight. I'm good at the non-linear stuff. It takes a sprint, a burst of creativity, or an eye for a rare opportunity.
I'm much worse at things like dieting/working out which require a simple plan executed consistently.
