Martial arts teaches that it is often best to run away. This doesn’t make you a coward. It makes you smart and leaves your opponent with nothing to shoot, punch, or yell at. This is equally valid online. #life #strategy #success

The most difficult part of life is getting your ideas out of your own head but still accessible at-need. Your mind needs space to build and you do that by ejecting what isn’t needed. No, you don’t need a second brain. You need to learn to dump before you organize and trash. #life #information

You don’t need to be a celebrity or hero to make a positive impact on someone. #life #success
