بعض الشركات ماتقدر تقول عنهم الا الضرب بالميت حرام (:

Uhhh… your memory is failing, my friend. And this was sent after the dinner, not before. Have the receipts. I don’t begrudge you in any way, but let’s be truthful.

1/ people like vinod, don’t take their money. asking a founder to fire their team for a term sheet isn’t shrewd. it’s low, and it tells you exactly who you’re dealing with. 2/ whatever he asks you to do to your team, he’ll do to you when things go south. you’ve already seen the operating model. 3/ capital is closer to a commodity than founders think. his money spends the same, but it comes bundled with him. once you see how he operates, that bundle is a liability. 4/ the mistake is treating a name brand investor as a prize. diligence runs both ways. your real leverage is the ability to say no. 5/ choose who you work with. the cap table is the one decision you can’t undo cleanly.

i've been directionally right about most of my long-term decisions. i think it comes from something simple: when i know something is right, i push - regardless of where it takes me. my goal in life has always been to keep moving forward, and the extra mile is just forward motion. what i've learned is that being directionally right demands boldness at certain inflections. you have to be aggressive on the things you truly believe in - not reckless, but unwilling to let doubt or comfort stop you from acting on conviction. that's the key thing. not intelligence, not connections, not timing. conviction. the math supports it. when you're young, the cost of being wrong is low and the reward for being right is high. going the extra mile to prove what you believe is a positive expected value bet. most people don't take it - not because they can't see the right direction, but because they're not willing to pay the cost of walking it.

فكرة إن الواحد يعيش لليوم فقط ويتعامل مع بكرة كأنه غير موجود فكرة أضرت ناس كثير: لا ادخار - لا بناء - ولا مسؤولية تجاه اللي بعده الرسول ﷺ قال: إذا قامت الساعة وفي يد أحدكم فسيلة فليغرسها هذا أوضح مثال إن العمل يستمر حتى في أقصى لحظة المطلوب توازن: تشتغل كأن عندك عمر طويل، تبني، تدخر، وتخطط - وتعبد الله كأنك راحل غدًا المشكلة مو في التذكير بالموت - المشكلة في تحويله عذر للكسل...
