💪Grit
I like the book grit and it has some lessons on consistency and perseverance.
I just want to quote Aron Will’s tweet about this.
Stop starting something and quitting the week later because you see no results.
You honestly just need to work until something happens.
Joe Rogan has over 2,000 podcast episodes.
Mr Beast has over 700 Youtube videos.
Imagine they quit after a week.
Grit my friend.

The Last Question By Issac Asimov
Isaac Asimov was the most prolific science fiction author of all time. In fifty years he averaged a new magazine article, short story, or book every two weeks, and most of that on a manual typewriter.
Asimov thought that The Last Question, first copyrighted in 1956, was his best short story ever.
Even if you do not have the background in science to be familiar with all of the concepts presented here, the ending packs more impact than any other book that I've ever read.
Don't read the end of the story first!
