Walkable City by Jeff Speck. I think I know the value of walking and grabbing your coffee while you are commuting your home to the office more than anybody. This book is sharing so much stats about why walkable cities not just only save people also cities. I lived around 4 years US’s #2 Walkable City San Francisco till last year. San Francisco is I believe the closest “European Standard” in the USA. Still… Anyway, If you are stuck in suburbia and add some walk in your daily routine check out this book.

Billion Dollar Whale by Tom Wright & Bradley Hope. After reading this book, you can easily understand so much “money” in the world. So many places either cleaning or distributing it. Jho Low is definitely a character. We will definitely see this book as a movie very soon. Book sounds to me so much The Wolf of Wall Street while reading then you will discover Jho and his fund actually invested and produced that movie (LOL). This is a book about how government funds in the Middle East and Asia structure, royal and elite families and global party scenes, billion-dollar heist, and many more. “For sure, he enjoyed partying, and he liked having pretty women around, but more than anything this was an investment, one that made him appear successful and indispensable.”(My highlight)

IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD by Russ. Russ is not a typical rapper. He is a hustler plus self-motivator plus a very successful businessman. He released 10+ Albums before he climbed the ladder of success. He was pretty much invisible. Before this book, never heard his name or listened to his music. His book apparently turned Instant Best Seller. He is very to the point and sharing his life stories with short and sweet motivational quotes. Definitely an interesting read. Already started to follow him IG. My favorite song of Russ “ What they want”. Check out My confidence, or cockiness (whatever you want to call it), isn’t fueled by a sense of superiority and it isn’t based on my success. Yes, I believe I’m great, but I believed that when I was a kid making shitty music in my basement—that’s how I got to where I am today. I’m successful because I am confident, not the other way around. (My highlight)

New era of creation

You might already know what I’m going to say. Creators no more rely on fancy studios, producers, MTV, Tour managers, publishing houses etc.

All they need to create. We are hungry for great content especially these days. Everyone at home or stuck in their cities. What do they need to do? Watch, listen, read or participate in new content.

Check this out this video clip: It is made by one man. Yeah, literally one-man show. *

Detour

I watched a movie called “Detour” (1945). It was amazing. Honestly, can’t describe how lucky we are. The time we are living includes crazy ups and downs. However, having access literally anything we want to watch, read, or learn is mind-blowing. Sitting at my couch watching a movie produced 75 years ago is like a time-traveling to me. Maybe I’m exaggerating.

Driving with no music

Today, I drove around 1.5 hours long drive without any music, podcast etc. It was amazing. Definitely recommend it! I felt like a meditation. Gave me a chance to observe nature around me also I was not passing through the road, I was also inhaling all the energy.

You need to wake up

If you want to sleep well and also make money while you are sleeping, you need to make sure whatever you do works smoothly. If it is not, you have to wake up the middle of your sleep. It is what it is.

Okapis

I never heard Okapi word till 30 minutes ago. I turned on the TV and accidentally watched a short video of Okapis.

Okapi | mammal | Britannica

First I thought that is a mixed animal (Giraffe & Zebra combination). It was not. It is actually a known rainforest giraffe. I’m glad I learned something new today. Have you heard them before?

Read something you interested in

I started a book yesterday (I’ll share this book my top 3 books on this book in a couple of days) and can’t stop reading the last 12 hours. Life is too short to read boring books. Read-only the books you like it.

What if you started something it was great then turned to be repeating all over?

– Just drop that one and move on the new one

Where do u want to live?

A lot of people are asking me this question lately. Probably they think I’m not from Bay Area that’s why they are asking. They don’t mean I should leave USA:) Many young couples are moving to Austin, Denver or Detroit for many reasons. Most of them they go back where they from or finding an excuse to leave beatiful California.

I honestly don’t know the answer. I’m happy for now where I live. As you guys know I am big fan of based on one place and travel mostly summers

Walk and talk

I started to see my friends slowly last couple weeks for a walk. I like walking with someone especially if you have things to share and learn. It’s very helpful a) you don’t check phone because u are busy for walking and listening/talking b) If you are walking on the nature sometimes walking yourself can be boring after a while. So having someone with you, definitely makes you walk further.

Once enough

I watched a great documentary about a guy who never athletic or did any sport. He suddenly lost his mom and dedicated his time to running the ultramarathon. Definitely recommend it. In this documentary something made me think so much: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough”

I need to think about this …
