Moving on, here are a few short thoughts this week.
Money
1.
"The best way to ensure you’re for no one is to say you’re for everyone. Counterintuitively, the more people you exclude, the better." - From The Obvious Choice
2
"Marketing isn’t sleazy car salesman tactics. Marketing isn’t tricking people into buying. Marketing isn’t unethical. Marketing isn’t intrusive self-promotion.
Marketing is two things: Creating lasting connections with people through a focus on being relentlessly helpful." - Tim Grahl
Health
1.
"You have to choose something. You can’t have a pain-free life. It can’t all be roses and unicorns all the time. Pleasure is the easy question. And pretty much all of us have a similar answer. The more interesting question is the pain. What is the pain that you want to sustain? That’s the hard question that matters." - Mark Manson
Relationships
1.
Counterintuitively, the greatest compliment you can receive is no compliment. When excellence becomes consistent, it gets taken for granted. If others have stopped praising your work, it's not because you have fallen—it's because you have raised the floor.
2
"Time spent with children spikes for a few years in your thirties before falling off a cliff. It’s a devastatingly short window. Blink and you’ll miss it. Slow down. Play Monopoly. Read books on repeat. The time you spend with your children is never wasted." - From Unhinged Habits (preorder here)

For over a year I've been responding with a burrito emoji instead of a heart when messaging people. Not one person has made note of it. But it makes me happy. So I'll keep doing it. Thanks for reading. Hope you're awesome.

Two Books I've Been Looking Forward to Got Released This Week
The first is The Collective Edge by Dr. Colin M. Fisher. It's about teamwork, and pulls from companies to sports teams to Star Trek villains.
Next is Hi, It's Me Again by Asher Perlman. It's a collection of comics. Asher's a guy I've gotten to know this past year. He's amazing and hilarious. His day job is writing for the monologue for The Colbert Show and he moonlights as a New Yorker Cartoonist.
