The Inner Scorecard: How Warren Buffett Mastered Life
We're driven by admiration and love. But even if we get it, we're not actually happy unless we deserve it. Our Inner Scorecard lets us know the difference.
What Buffett and a lot of other people who have been successful in life — true success, not measured by money — have in common is that they’re able to remember what we all set out to do: live a fulfilling life! Not get rich. Not get famous. Not even get admiration, necessarily. But to live a satisfying existence and help others around them do the same.

Theory of Constraints Principles Simplified [With Pictures]
What are the Theory of Constraints principles and how they can be applied to real life? See how I apply TOC in my writing process.

The Self-Motivation Toolkit: How to Stay Curious and Committed

Design Digest #06
The Portuguese government decided to revert back to its old logo, just 4 months after introducing a new one (you can find the abandoned guidelines here, courtesy of the Internet Archive). The introduction of the now discarded logo became highly politicized and unfortunately, in my opinion, didn't survive the change in government or the mixed reactions on social media.
Are We Watching The Internet Die?
Sometime this month, Reddit will go public at a valuation of $6.5bn. Select Redditors were offered the chance to buy stock at the initial listing price, which it hasn’t announced yet but is expected to be in the range of $31-34 per share. Regardless of the actual price,
We're at the end of a vast, multi-faceted con of internet users, where ultra-rich technologists tricked their customers into building their companies for free. And while the trade once seemed fair, it's become apparent that these executives see users not as willing participants in some sort of fair exchange, but as veins of data to be exploitatively mined as many times as possible, given nothing in return other than access to a platform that may or may not work properly.

Take Ownership of Your Future Self
Your personality, skills, likes, and dislikes change over time — but that change isn’t out of your control. What can you do to become the version of yourself that you most want to be? Start by acknowledging the differences between your past, current, and future selves. Next, imagine your desired future self: Set goals that are as clear and specific as possible to maximize your chances of achieving them. Finally, develop (and re-develop) an identity narrative consistent with the person you want to become — and share that story with others! Your identity drives your behavior, which over time creates your personality. So start acting like the best version of yourself, and you will become that person.
Dan Gilbert: The psychology of your future self
"Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished." Dan Gilbert shares recent research on a phenomenon he calls the "end of history illusion," where we somehow imagine that the person we are right now is the person we'll be for the rest of time. Hint: that's not the case.
