Notes

Like it or not, life is a game. Whoever denies that truth gets left on the sideline

Let everyone call you crazy, just keep going. Don’t stop

Reality is not linear. No future, no past, all is now

Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let surprise you with results

If I failed, I failed quickly so I’d have enough years to implement all the hardships

Dont go to sleep one night. What you must want will come to you then

Somebody may beat me but they’re going to have to bleed to do it

You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you

We must all be professors of the jungle

The harder you work, the better your luck
