agree with this

i would often tell friends that i evaluate someone by how they bounce back from setbacks

your goal in life should be to reduce the amount of time it takes you to get out of a bad state

to be less reactive and not let it control you

"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react."

If you've made it this far and you've found yourself in this, I have only one question for you, Paul:

When are you going to start living life?

good read, recommended to take 5 minutes https://benroy.substack.com/p/notes-on-internet-addiction
Being so online has implications for our personal lives. Common side effects include increased anxiety, depression, envy, and insecurity. That, along with shrinking attention spans and disrupted sleep.

Being so online has implications for wider culture as well. People are becoming more average over time because we’re all consuming the same content curated for us by TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X and so on. This is often talked about as “algorithmic flattening,” and what that means is when we all consume the same inputs, we create similar outputs whether that’s in the form of art, startups, research, or even thoughts. We're all losing our floofy spiky uniqueness and being eroded into a standard shape, which crushes originality and creativity at a societal scale.

was recently posed this question

What are the principles of marketing to you?

my answer:
marketing is pretty much sales to me, and having some sales background, i would say
a) clarity in message/pitch, because customers do not have time to try decipher your sophisticated messaging (KISS)
b) consistent branding throughout -> trust and credibility
c) audience always comes first, do not create anything that you wouldn't want to watch/see
d) sell dreams and emotions

wanted to gather some thoughts on this question, whether you’re an experienced marketer or not

what are the principles of marketing to you?

lmk!

kinda reminds me of Egocentric Bias

The egocentric bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to rely too heavily on their own point of view when they examine events in their life or when they try to see things from other people’s perspective.

Example:
Individuals tend to believe they contribute more than others in the group or their partner. A classic study with married couples found that when both partners estimated their share of housework, the total percentage often exceeded 100%.
