”Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else.”
There’s a lot you can learn from the internet, but you’re not learning if you’re only consuming.
Create something. Learn by doing.
”When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
When you want something enough, it will always be on your mind.
Suddenly you'll see way more opportunities than you did before.
Figure out what you want and watch doors open.
”All the knowledge I posses everyone else can acquire, but my heart is exclusively my own.”
Learning a skill is the first step, but positioning is what makes the difference between competition and monopoly.
Find the niche that suits you most.
”What you need to do is move from reason that observes to reason that acts.”
Watching others realise their dreams will make you informed at best and envious at worst.
Start your journey from consumer to creator (w/ @The1stReporter) and don't look back.
”Jealousy destroys the very thing it loves/And such betrayal is condemned by Heaven above.”
If you focus on other people's success, your own will always elude you.
Good things come to those who act. What are you waiting for?
”But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart.”
You might think you can see everything that goes on in someone else's life, but you don't.
There's always more than meets the eye.
Learn to empathise and see other's point of view.
”They will marvel at us and look on us as gods, because we are ready to endure the freedom which they have found so dreadful and to rule over them.”
Everyone says they want freedom but few actually work towards it.
Find opportunities and take risks.
”For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.”
Realising that no one cares about you as much as you think should liberate you from their opinions.
Be more afraid of fear than failure.
”Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
The world is more superficial than it was.
This means that the people with depth are all getting together.
Cultivate good values and get invited into elite circles.
”Sometimes, all you had to do was exist in order to be someone's saviour.”
By the time you reach the end of your twenties, you should be established.
Work towards becoming the kind of person who inspires you n

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
