"It's easier to build a worldclass chessplayer than a plumber. "
Lex Fridman (AI research scientist at MIT)
Finally Trump can build his wall. Which will help Americans to "save" themselfs from "EVIL" mexican immigrants who take jobs and so on.
Such a shocking story of man accusing other people of being paedophiles. And he ended up being paedophile himself.
I feel sorry for Leon Brittan(one of people who was accused) who died of cancer before truth was uncovered.

I think I finally found a person who can give a proper advice on how to become wealthy💰.
This mans name is Naval Ravikant.
Weird thing is that I've seen him about 2-3 years ago taking interview from Vitalik Buterin, but unfortunately I didn't pay attention to him.
Well it's better to learn later than never.
Why do I listen to his list of advice:
1. Naval's successful serial tech entrepreneur, a founder of angellist.com;
2. he's not selling his advice. To me This is very powerful stuff. He doesn't want money from poor people who are trying to build their wealth and I really respect that;
3. His advices are up to date. We're living in the age of Internet and digital technology, one can't become wealthy if he doesn't embrace the change...

The list of advices is pretty long, but I think it's worth it.
Below is link to playlist with advices.
Hopefully it helps!

Telegram turns 6 years today. Throughout these years, Telegram stood up for freedom and privacy. We defended what we believe in against tyrannies, kleptocracies and corporations.

Today, 6 years after launch, Telegram is the third largest global messaging app in terms of the number of countries where Telegram is in top 10 Social Networking apps.

Let us celebrate today. Tomorrow we’ll get back to building new features. There’s a lot of exciting work left to do.
Happy birthday to Telegram! Congrats to Telegram team and to us the users! 🎉🎉🎊🎊

Life Formulas from Naval Ravikant.

These are notes to myself. Your frame of reference, and therefore your calculations, may vary. These are not definitions – these are algorithms for success. Contributions welcome.

Happiness = Health + Wealth + Good Relationships

Health = Exercise + Diet + Sleep

Exercise = High Intensity Resistance Training + Sports + Rest

Diet = Natural Foods + Intermittent Fasting + Plants

Sleep = No alarms + 8-9 hours + Circadian Rhythms

Wealth = Income + Wealth * (Return on Investment)

Income = Accountability + Leverage + Specific Knowledge

Accountability = Personal Branding + Personal Platform + Taking Risk?

Leverage = Capital + People + Intellectual Property

Specific Knowledge = Knowing how to do something that society cannot yet easily train other people to do

RoI = Buy-and-Hold + Valuation + Margin of Safety
“play stupid games win stupid prizes.” A lot of people spend a lot of their time playing social games like on Twitter where you’re trying to improve your social standing and you basically win stupid social prizes which are worthless.

In addition also working on a chatbot that can teach users how to build telegram chatbots. I will make an announcement here when it's done.
Imagine you do ten pushups every day.

Every day, with no excuses. In a year, you’ll be 3,650 pushups stronger.

Imagine you read for ten minutes every day. In a year, you’ll read six books.

Here’s the best part.

If you incrementally increase your input, the compound effect kicks into play.

IF YOU ADD ONE MORE MINUTE TO YOUR READING TIME EVERY DAY, IT ADDS UP TO 80 BOOKS A YEAR.
That’s 10x difference with the linear model. Just for one more minute a day.

And don’t bullshit me that you can’t carve a minute today. You can. “I don’t have time” is just another way of saying that it’s not a priority.

The best part of the compound effect is that it makes habit-building easy.

Everyone can start reading for one minute a day. Everyone can do one pushup.

But after you build a habit, it’s hard to stop.
Huge unrests are happening in Hong Kong in a wake of trade war between United States and China. Once upon a time Hong Kong has been a window to capitalism for China, but things have changed. China seems to lose its patience with relatively free state. So far China s goal was to get millions of people out of powerty using half planning and half trade economy. Communist party been pretty successful at getting about 300 mill people out of poverty and filling up a quarter of Forbes list.
China is increasingly a high-tech police state, their social contact seems to be like this - want to be prosperous, then give up your freedom. In my mind it doesn't work, but Chinese communist party made it work and it's quite remarkable. It will be interesting how this is going to progress and what's goin to happen to Hong Kong.
What do u think ? Can China sustain this model wealth for freedom?
