For those that made it to the end of the book will know that what Hoppe prescribes is a world run & secured by insurance companies.
Which ironically resembles our current world.

Underrated life hacks:
- pray first thing every morning, last thing every night
- always keep an open notebook and pen within sight
- halve the amount time you allot yourself to read books & do your work
- extend your vision out by 5-10 years, then reverse engineer to present
- every time you catch yourself worrying, immediately surrender it to God
- never stop learning, ever, no matter what
- recognize no one is stopping you more than yourself
Everyone who ever comments on the general topic always gets it wrong.
My takeaway is that the absolute power of the American consumer is the most underrated force globally.
And while online ppl complain about the money spent, the ppl in the ballparks love every minute of it.
Sandlot it ain't.

Agreed.
For a large % of our youth, sports is THE outlet to learn how to deal with failure, learn to respect authority & be a part of something bigger than themselves.

Houston HC Kelvin Sampson - Why Coaches Fail
- "I think the coaches that fail at every level, are the coaches that are passive aggressive. Passing aggressive coaches are usually afraid to hold kids accountable, they rationalize."
- "If you're going to build a culture, the first thing you have to come to grips with, you're going to have confrontation."
- Consistency
- Competence
- Confidence
- Confrontation
Not surprising that their MBB Head Coach wears a suit and tie while the rest of the coaching world is a step away from coaching on the sideline in tank tops & flip flops.

Rick Pitino was asked what stops people from being great. His answer was one word.
"Ego stops greatness. I call it edging greatness out."
"In a spiritual sense, ego is edging God out. But ego is edging greatness out."
And he made a key distinction:
"I'm not talking about confidence. You have to be a confident person."
"But ego really gets you to where you think you've arrived. You think you know it all. You stop learning. You stop listening."
That's the trap. Confidence keeps you hungry. Ego convinces you that you've already made it.
You lose your hunger and humility.
"Learning and listening are important for great leaders. Great leaders have to listen and they have to continue to learn and surround themselves with people that are better than them."
EGO = Edging Greatness Out
The moment you think you've arrived is the moment you stop growing.
Stay confident. Stay humble. Never stop learning.

This sentence by Dostoyevsky hits so hard.
“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”
