💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

Out of 500M daily tweets, only 5 deserve your attention.

Here’s this week’s starting lineup:

#1 💎 

Agreed. I used to work with Emmett Shear (founder of Twitch) and when an employee would come to him talking about a problem - and all the multi-step, ‘first-this-then-that’ approaches - he would simply ask:

“Have you tried solving the problem?”

Not only was it a 10/10 sick corporate burn, it had a lot of truth in it. Humans have a habit of avoiding just ‘doing the thing’ and will talk themselves into all kinds of smart sounding reasons why they need to do X first, before doing Y. (it’s all just fancy procrastination)

#2 💎 

This is awesome - I’d love to try this. You know how supercomputers learned to be the best chess player in the world simply by simulating 10 zillion games until it figured out the perfect strategy?

What if humans could do that too? Can we become 10X better at our job by learning through simulation (instead of books)?

Quarterback’s will get great at reading the defense. Surgeons can practice surgeries 1000s of times without harming a patient. Soldiers simulating tactical missions without putting their lives at risk. ← I’m excited for these.

#3 💎 

I’m so back.

#4 💎 

Being a bodybuilder doesn’t make you flexible…

Being a good cook doesn’t make you a healthy eater…

And being smart doesn’t make you happy.

But… can you make yourself happier, the same way you can make yourself smarter (by studying)?

I think so.

For most people - happiness is an accident. It’s a lucky result of good weather, good luck, or a good hair day. Things outside of your control.

But one of the best things in life is to learn how to exercise your ‘mood muscle’. To become happy-by-default. That’s when the fun begins.

#5 💎 

Oh hell naw 😂
