5 Tweet Tuesday - September 3, 2024

💎 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:
#1 💎
"When I was a boy, there was a popular saying: Don’t just sit there; do something. But for investing, I’d invert it: Don’t just do something; sit there.
Develop the mindset that you don’t make money on what you buy and sell; you make money on what you hold."

Imagine a 300 lb football player trying to do Simone Biles' balance beam routine…
That’s what it’s like when a founder tries to switch gears and become a great investor. The things that helped you in one game (high action bias) can badly hurt you in another.
I love the Charlie Munger quote about investing: “The big money isn’t in the buying and selling, it’s in the waiting.”

🍃 Eat clean -> 😊 depression stops
What is clean? Anything that comes from the farm or nature like fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, rice, potatoes etc.
What is not clean? Anything produced in a factory

Hey it’s the 5 tweet Tuesday value meal. 2-For-1.
The idea that our standard diet is poison (not just for our body but for our mind) is a big topic that’s going to become very popular soon.

jack dorsey (@jack) is forever goated to run twitter (and square) thru just his notes app.

I thought this was fake when I first saw it.
Jack Dorsey was running 2 billion-dollar companies using just his iPhone notes app?
Turns out, it’s true.
He had a separate note for all the important people in the company (i.e. his CFO, Sarah Friar, had her own note. Whenever Jack had a question, he’d drop it there)
He had a note for everything he was doing on a daily basis, and things he didn’t want to do (he called this his “don’t list”)
P.S. - he walked through his process in this Y Combinator speech he did back in 2013 . Watch here.

I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.

Great framing – decisions are like hats, haircuts, and tattoos.
