This is the message Apple would send to all of it’s new employees to encourage them to be a little crazy and obsessive over the products they create:

Wisdom:

"The 4% Rule" roughly states you can withdraw 4% of your savings per year for retirement.

There's an easy formula to calculate this:

[How much you want each year] / 0.04 = [Savings]

So if you want to withdraw $100,000/yr, you would need $2.5m in savings:

$100,000 / 0.04 = $2,500,000

Cool huh!

Interesting:

People pay money for things that:
- Saves them time.
- Supports a cause.
- Improves their status.
- Teaches them new info.
- Gets them access to info.
- Satisfies a need or desire.
- Solves a specific problem.

Can your biz answer these questions??

Picture:

There’s something so brilliantly easy to understand about this ad. By showing a “long pencil” it demonstrates how this mechanical feed pencil can last much longer than a regular pencil.

I LOVED mechanical pencils in middle school, so this one hit me!

Essay:

I was listening to the Danny Miranda Podcast and the guest @justinkan listed out 6 "relationship filters" for finding a partner I've never heard in this particular order:

Filter 1: Is this person attractive?
Filter 2: Do I want to spend time with this person?
Filter 3: Does this person fit in with my friends, social group, family.
Filter 4: Do we have compatible life goals and lives.
Filter 5: Is this person gonna be a good partner to build a family.
Filter 6: If we grow in our lives, will we still be compatible in many years.

Thought this was cool! Taken from my Apple Notes doc so many not be verbatim.
