5x5 Rule

In his book “Reinvent Yourself”, James Altucher said:
You are not just the average of the five people around you. You’re the average of the five habits you do, the things you eat, the ideas you have, the content you consume, etc.
It of course doesn’t work for everything, but in essence, if you want to be a writer, and call yourself a writer, well, you just need to write.
Wanna be a painter? Paint!
A developer? Coder? Programmer? Yeah, that too.
I think it ties really well with what I wrote a few days ago, 1000 knives.

So true. We are what we repeat day in day out

Yeah, I thought the same when the quote from his book surfaced in my Readwise. I have no clue what he’s up to these days. @therealbrandonwilson.
@jasonleow it is so simple, right?

Good ol’ Altucher. I haven’t checked in on him in a while.
