what we do in this life, echoes through eternity

Don’t just read this book.
Don’t just take notes.
Don’t just study them.
Don’t just plan.
Don’t just talk.
Don’t just think.
Don’t just dream.
No. None of that matters.
The only thing that matters is what you actually do.
So, DO

It's far easier in chess to achieve a winning game than to go on and win it. One bad move nullifies 40 good ones, and precision is of the essence even when the game is well in hand.

Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the course of your life can be enormous. It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes strikingly apparent.

Amazon QLDB is a new class of database that eliminates the need to engage in the complex development effort of building your own ledger-like applications. With Amazon's QLDB, your data’s change history is immutable – it cannot be altered or deleted – and using cryptography, you can easily verify that there have been no unintended modifications to your application’s data. QLDB uses an immutable transactional log, known as a journal, that tracks each application data change and maintains a complete and verifiable history of changes over time. QLDB is easy to use because it provides developers with a familiar SQL-like API, a flexible document data model, and full support for transactions. QLDB is also serverless, so it automatically scales to support the demands of your application. There are no servers to manage and no read or write limits to configure. With QLDB, you only pay for what you use.

The act of tokenizing assets can:
- Increase speed of transactions (15 seconds is the average on the ethereum network)
- Reduce the number of intermediaries (peer to peer or through DEX)
- Enhance security (users/custodians hold their own assets via private keys)
- Add usability (24/7 transactions, anytime, anywhere)
- Improve Transparency (all transactions are recorded on a public ledger)
