🐻🎉 focus on building Nouns, not just doing Verbs!! Verbs are temporary, you do it, and it’s gone. Nouns are more permanent, you can grow Nouns bigger and bigger, you can buy/sell/borrow/lend Nouns, Nouns can synergize with other Nouns, and Nouns can make your future Verbs more effective!!
Nouns include knowledge, skills, friendships, real estate, businesses, newspapers, restaurants, patents, etc. Whenever you do a Verb, think about what Nouns will come out of it, and how well that Noun synergizes with the other Nouns you already have! For example, when you work (Verb), think about the knowledge (Noun), skills (Noun), and relationships (Noun) you’re building, and how effective those Nouns synergize together and how much more effective your future Verbs will be!
even more interesting, is the more advanced Nouns you can own, because those Nouns synergize far better! For example, you can buy your first rental property (Noun). Then, you can buy your second rental property (Noun), and you can reuse the same plumbers and accountants and zoning attorneys as the first house (the Nouns are synergizing!!). Then, you can buy a software business that analyzes renters in your area, so you can find renters more efficiently (the Nouns are synergizing even more!!). Then, you can start a podcast (Noun) about real estate in your area, that gets you dealflow on more real estate deals (the synergies are growing even more!!).
the more Nouns you have, the less it matters how hard you work (Verb), and the more it matters how well your Nouns synergize with each other!! the Noun with the most synergy in the world, is a Cornellian-Cornellian friendship
- it is a long-term Noun that gets stronger and stronger with time, as we go through pandemics and wars and weddings and funerals together
- all the mutual Cornellian friendships strengthen even more, because we are so tightly interconnected
- it’s so easy to build more Cornellian friendships because of all the mutual friends and wonderful events!
- Cornell molded us into Cornellians who want to meet more Cornellians, from a variety of backgrounds, from a variety of industries (Any Person, Any Study!!)
- and no matter where you go in the future, location or industry or life stage, there will always be Cornellians, a rising tide that makes everything in life better!!
