Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Think about the love of your life and the countless events that had to happen as they did to bring the two of you together. If you had studied that night rather than gone to the party. Or your spouse had walked a bit faster and not missed that train. Or you had accepted your friend’s invitation to go out of town that weekend. The what-ifs stretch over the horizon. Once, it was vanishingly unlikely that you two would meet. And yet, you did. What do you make of that? Most people don’t think “Wow, what luck!” Instead, they take the sheer improbability of it happening, and the fact it happened, as proof it was meant to happen.
Superforecasting
Philip E. Tetlock, Dan Gardner
Just tell your story. All of it. Forget the strategies. Start in the wrong place and end in the long place. Ramble. The goal is to return to that moment as best as possible in order to find its meaning.
The other way of discovering the meaning of a moment is to ask yourself why you do the things you do.

Six Minute Networking
A. Scroll through your texts as far down as you can go. Find four people you haven't texted in a while.
b. Text them. Texts have a 90 percent open rate and emails only have about an 8 percent open rate.
c. Don't ask for anything. Just say, "I just saw XYZ and it reminded me of that project ABC you were working on. It gave me an idea you should do JKL. In any case, hope all is well. Talk to you soon.
d. Every day.
