June 22th, 1941 – Citizens of Moscow listen to a historic radio announcement, saying that German forces invaded at 4 AM that morning and that the war started. 30% of male population will perish in the next 4 years (including 90% of men born in 1923)

Full radio transcription:

”Attention, Attention! Moscow speaks! Citizens of USSR, today at 4 in the morning, without declaration of war, German armed forces attacked the borders of the Soviet Union. Thus begins the Great Patriotic War of Soviet people against the German Nazi aggressors. Our cause is righteous! The enemy shall be defeated! Victory will be ours!”

Much depends on on who your parents are, what is your neighborhood and which generation you belong to. But one thing is absolutely certain: the Russian civilization is there to shape you up into a very tough human being.

Krútost

During the last two decades, the notion of krutói (“tough”, “hard nut”, “smart”) became very central for our definition of success. But even though the meaning is new (krutói means originally “steep” or “hard-boiled”), the concept is centuries-long. In it, you can find something in common with the religious search for purity, or the American obsession with self-help and self-improvement. But the starting point is different.

Police can’t pull you over without probable cause.

Cops can’t just randomly stop you and look for drugs in your car. They need a reason, or “probable cause,” like speeding or a broken tail light.

Let’s say you are speeding, the police do pull you over, and they do find drugs in your car. But let’s say the officer wants to give you a break and forgoes a speeding ticket. Cops don’t need to ticket you for speeding to provide probable cause for the stop in court; their notes from the situation would provide enough evidence.

That big money is served in small increments. Whether that’s return on investments, profits, margins on products you’re selling, whatever. People who don’t understand this are always trying to double or quintuple their money in as few transactions as possible, while the largest and most successful companies and people in the world win by making “small money” over and over again.

Why Are Younger People More Creative Than Adults?

Children have a more active imagination than adults, and young adults are less constrained by their own prior patterns of thought.

As people become “good at life,” they develop habits of thought that serve them well. These habits are thought styles that “work” (get results, impress people, carry us through difficult situations). As we accumulate “thought techniques,” three things happen.

what is gaslighting

It’s important to distinguish between regular lying and gaslighting. A lie is just a falsehood and it can be told for many reasons.

Gaslighting are lies told with the specific intent to make the other person question their sanity/reality.

It is a form of manipulation to make the other person doubt themselves so much that they no longer trust their perception of events. If you no longer trust yourself, then you begin to think you are the problem and the other person is then off the hook.

How Much Can A Pizza Restaurant Make In A Year?

how much does a pizza restaurant make

I know a pizza joint that sells mostly slices, it’s about 1000 square feet total, and it makes almost a million per year with $2.5 m in revenue. I also know places that have lost 150k per year. One of them was mine.

It’s about revenue, staffing, and pricing.

Revenue is the starting point. If you don’t have good revenue then you have a money pit. I’ve had three places that failed because of lack of revenue. If you have the right thing (and right attitude) in the right place, where there are lot’s of hungry people, then you have sales. In general about $600k to $1m is a good place to be if your rent is between 2k and 8k.
