the easiest way to increase data’s value is by linking it together. - Auren Hoffman

disavow anything you don't like about your past self. you are barely related to you from 10 years ago (it is like a cousin that looks a lot like you)

traditionally monopolies' products do not improve much. and competition forces products to be better.

today, the opposite is happening.
high-competition spaces (like universities) are getting worse. low-competition spaces (like Amazon, Apple, Google) are getting better.

the best way to improve is show someone an example of someone just like them that is slightly better.

don't show me an example of Steph Curry. i'll never be able to shoot a basketball like him. show me an example of someone that is slightly better then me.
