Narcissism is being fast to slam others' errors but slow to admit yours.
Humility is being fast to learn from your errors and slow to judge others.
Wisdom is being fast to learn from others' errors to slow the rate of yours.

I'm a founder at a startup. Here's my daily routine 🧵
7am: I take out my retainer. My dentist says I grind my teeth at night but he doesn't get that the grind never stops
8am: I text my mom "gm wagmi". She responds telling me I'm almost 30 and should figure my life out.
