Here we go again with thoughts of my week.
Something I keep doing
Reading a deep/thorough book for 30 min in the morning. Currently it's: Montesquieu's Spirit of Law.
Montesquieu, the man behind the theory of Separation of Powers, had ever lasting ideas. This is implemented in many constitutions throughout the world.
Best of what I read
- Human Action, Von Mises (Rating so far: 8)
- Diderot, Audible biography (Rating so far: 6)
- Dao of capital, Mark Spitznagel (Rating so far: 9)
- Safe Haven, Mark Spitznagel (Rating so far: 9)
Something I keep using
- Audible. I use it in long walks.
- My backpack. Mandarina Duck. It's great and I've been using it for 5 years now. Would buy it again.
- Reminders app on iPhone as a planner. More on this later.
Best of what I watched
Sami Yusuf's Beyond the Stars concert.
Something that changed my mind
Putting focus on what I am good at and makes money VS what I love and doesn't necessary generate good money.
Something new to try
I really like espresso (single shot) recently. Pure, clear, and simple. I like the bitterness.
Something I’m remembering from the past
My dad and his prayers.
Why do I dislike <person, place, an article>
Jordan Patterson. Never liked him. And his recent views are even worse.
What's one thing I cant stop talking about?
I can't stop talking about something I want to learn about. This makes people eager to teach me more.
- Politics
- Law
- Nutrition, sport and health
- Tranquility (ala Seneca)
- Nassim Taleb (NNT)
- Antifragility (ala NNT)
- Barbel Strategy (ala NNT)
How can I make my days better?
One focus for the whole day. Or split a day into two and have 1 focus each. Doing it a lot recently and it's paying off.
Say thanks for 1 guy today.
Just sent a message to my friends who I had great conversation with recently. I can't thank them enough on how kind they are. Thanks, my friends.
- Mehdi Zonjy
- Abd Nizam
- Hussam Sandouk
- Zaher Wanli
- Hasan Sarhan
That's it for this week. Peace, Salam.
