⏳ Real long-term thinking is so underrated. I’d love to find a way to teach this skill to both our kids. Bill Gates framed it quite perfectly a while ago: “most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.“. Kyle delivered a banger here. I felt invited to reflect on my own life while reading the piece: Decades.
Long-term thinking suddenly makes short-term thinking appear incredibly silly.
🏫 I went through so many emotions while reading Latham's experience with homeschooling. We don’t think enough about how our kids learn, spend their days, and schooling in general. When we raise the topic around us, most people start to act religiously and can’t think clearly anymore. We need to experiment more in this field. Making the Momentous Decision to Homeschool.
So for 21 weeks this year I homeschooled my boy. Every day I felt scared and overwhelmed and excited and liberated. And the results have been beyond anything I believed possible.
👩❤️👨 Esther is really one of a kind. I discovered her through David -thanks!- and then read ‘mating in captivity’ -highly recommend- and listened to many interviews of her; which is always a delight. She always shares so many pieces of wisdom. I was naturally stoked to see her receive Rick’s treatment. She mainly talks about intimate relationships but I find it applies to all kind of relationships at the end. Remember both these things:
relationships are stories + the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.
