What is the single most important thing you have learned in the last year?

Ethical wealth creation is possible.

I used to be able to work endless hours to accomplish everything on my to do. At this stage in my life with little kids, I simply can't (and don't want to) work around the clock. I need to be smarter about prioritizing my work, saying no to doing somethings, and simply be where my feet are (focus on work when I'm working, but make my focus my kids when I'm with them).

I think one of the most important things I learned, is that if something isn't business critical, it doesn't have to be done right now and it's not worth losing sleep over it. Even just using the term "business critical" and the question "Does the whole business crumble if this isn't finished today?" helps me a lot to deal with superiors, who try to push something that's maybe important, but not the number 1 priority.

"Potentissimus est qui se hаbеt in potestate." Last year I fully accepted stoicism. I realized that I was only in control of my own choices. I choose how to react to this or that circumstances, this or that situations. Everything else is beyond my sphere of influence and responsibility. And only by developing and expanding my area of responsibility I will be able to make more choices, and the spectrum of what I can influence will grow with me. This change of mindset has helped me find spiritual peace and motivation to achieve the ambitious goals I set for myself. I began to see the world more clearly and to focus on what I could change myself and not get bogged down by the chaos that surrounds us in our daily lives. I recommend reading "How to Be a Stoic" book by Massimo Pigliucci and "The Daily Stoic" book by Ryan Holiday. You can also read "The Daily Stoic Journal: 366 Days of Writing and Reflection on the Art of Living" book by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. In the last book, you can keep your own stoic journal, answering one philosophical question each day.

The email sign off with the highest response rate is "cheers." I always thought people who said cheers were super cool, but I felt like I needed to stay professional and use "best." Not anymore - my default is now "Cheers" :)

I learned that it is ok not to know. That sometimes if we truly had a choice we would have made it.

The importance of showing up for yourself every single day. Even if it's a day of rest. Then to use that energetic re-boost to get right back into it without delay. The incremental steps build, and you have to acknowledge the little wins as much as the big wins. Showing up daily is a Win that leads to more winning.

Deadlines will be delayed, plan better.

I learn app development coding and develop my own app Flyfi (travel app), it is an amazing app and I am very happy to announce that I got more than 17k subscribers in a short period of time. I think I got that much attention because of a new concept.

Thanks for your post. I’ve been thinking about writing a very comparable post over the last couple of weeks, I’ll probably keep it short and sweet and link to this instead if thats cool. Thanks. https://ricksimpsonoil.org/

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. https://nyweedshop.co/moon-rocks...

Don't put off till tomorrow something you can do today. Life passes horrifically quickly, so get a move on and achieve what you want as soon as you can!

Life in very unpredictable.

All certainty is an illusion. All control is a delusion. Life is unpredictable. Don't burn bridges, but don't be too nice either, or you'll be the bridge that's on fire. Show up every day. Consistency beats talent in the long run.

I can handle more than I ever thought possible. It’s been a crazy year.
