Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?
Georgia Tech’s strength coach said this to his team. This is the only piece of advice you’ll ever need about winning.
Every word he said is true to God, it doesn’t matter even if you put in the best effort.
Life is not fair.
Every so often, the other person wins with sheer luck and without putting in that effort.
But the thing about serial-winners is that why keep building these moments that give them chances to win.
The best example to start with are athletes, take LeBron James. The man has been on the top of the game for 21 years, and he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
He’s felt with injuries, hatred, criticism, and worst of all, he’s just won 4 championships of the 10 times he has been in the finals. That’s a 50% rate of qualifying to the finals and a 40% of winning it when he was in the finals.
He didn’t give up. And that’s perseverance.
Furthermore, what’s winning according to you? This definition changes from person to person. I’d like to know yours.

If you are in the field of business, definitely read this book!
Moreover, it’s Two Paise Club’s book of the month.

Meditations
It’s no secret that I love the Meditations written by Marcus Aurelius.
And my cousin-sister gifted this to me when she visited. The book looks so gorgeous, and I can’t thank her enough! 🥹
Life Update
My last single cousin-brother is getting engaged next week! 🥳
And just like any Indian family, the baton is passed on to me.
If I don’t find someone by the end of 2024, my parents will find me a match.
I guess the clock is on…
