Discipline = Freedom

Be professional, be humble, and be respectful – that’s how you should play the game and build relationships.

Mental Note

You’re not nearly as good or as important as you think you are;
You have an attitude that needs to be readjusted;
Most of what you think you know or most of what you learned in books or in school is out of date or wrong.

My 1 cent:

Nobody gives a shit about you and your past performance! You are as good as you are right now. If you are not good right now, then you are not good! Being too nice and agreeable don’t lead to anything great.

Get Your Shit Together

Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman – a rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
— Friedrich Nietzsche

Today’s takeaways

Believe in yourself, yet be aware of how unimportant you really are.
It’s fact that hiring decisions are made every day because of personal connections.
Crying about how things should be instead of embracing how things are doesn’t do anyone any good.
Life is way too short to spend it working in a job you don’t love.
Invest in important stuff. Invest in your long-term future.
Anything insane has a price. As far as hard you’re going to push yourself (8:30 PM – 2:00 AM), don’t plan on seeing results right away.
If you enter a niche because you’re following the dollars, you won’t keep it up. It’s too much work, and you will get tired and frustrated and you will eventually fold.
Anything is better than zero, yet be responsible for defining your anything.
Nothing in life ever goes exactly the way you think it will, so roll with it.
Set the tone. No matter how big you get, every e-mail, every customer, every friend, every single person with whom you come into contact matters and deserves respect and attention. If someone takes the time to reach out to you, it’s your obligation to reciprocate.

Python

“””This basic Python function calculates the surface
area of cylinders both solid and hollow.”””
def cyclinder_surface_area(radius, height, has_top_and_bottom):
side_area = 2* 3.14 * height * radius
if has_top_and_bottom:
top_area = 3.14 * radius**2
surface_area = side_area + 2 * top_area
return surface_area
else:
return side_area

test1 = cyclinder_surface_area(2, 2, True)
test2 = cyclinder_surface_area(2, 2, False)
test1, test2

Thoughts inspired by Jordan B Peterson

Tell the truth.
Be grateful in spite of your suffering.
Work as hard as you possibly can on at least one thing and see what happens.

Mettle

Pay attention, attention to details.
