The Don’s Code

@thedonscode

The rules are written in silence. Power obeys the code.

Game theory teaches one brutal truth: people don’t want what’s fair, they want what favors them. If you appeal to fairness, you’re negotiating from weakness. Align incentives, don’t appeal to conscience.


You are not judged by your intentions. You are judged by your results and by how composed you remain when they crumble. True character isn’t built by success, it’s revealed in crisis. Most men fail because they panic at the first sign of pain.


The first rule of power games is to never play emotionally. The second is to remember that everyone else does. Your advantage is seeing patterns through the noise. While they confuse reaction for strategy, you’re already five moves ahead.


Take your grandma to botanical gardens. Attend weddings and witness joy. Go for walks just for fun. Pour your effort into meaningful work. Study, research, read, and learn especially through doing. And don’t be shy. Life rewards those with open hearts and nimble minds.


A man’s soul decays when he abandons responsibility. He hides behind pleasure, blames circumstance, and rots in comfort. Purpose resurrects him. Pain cleanses him. Every trial you endure is an invitation to evolve or an excuse to decay. The choice is yours.


Just because no moves are being posted doesn’t mean no moves are being made..


Underrated life advice: Be difficult to offend The thinner your skin, the easier you are to control People will never stop talking, but it’s entirely within your control how much you choose to listen A calm mind and thick skin are the most dangerous combination you can build


The biggest low IQ trait is constantly interrupting others. It means they’re incapable of listening. They also probably think they know everything. And a wise man knows that he knows nothing.


They don’t want you to know this, but you can do everything you want in this world. You just need to do them in arcs. Eras. Seasons. Commit to the bit with religious devotion for a time, then move on to the next thing. You can do this your entire life.


Your parents played it safe. Ended up average. Now they want you to play it safe too. Mediocrity becomes a family tradition. Break it. Or repeat it.


Social media didn’t just ruin dating, it ruined society. It gave women delusional expectations and men impossible standards. Now everyone’s unhappy, but nobody wants to admit it.


Dear Son, The devil wouldn’t be attacking you so hard if there wasn’t something valuable inside of you. Remember, thieves don’t break into an empty house.


You can’t manipulate those who know themselves. Self-awareness is psychological armor. The less you need validation, the fewer levers exist to move you. The world bends to those whose emotions can’t be purchased.


An employee who believes their employer cares about them or is loyal to them, is like a man who pays a prostitute to sleep with him and who is convinced she is in love with him.


I once asked my grandpa, “Why does it always seem like only good people get hurt?” He smiled and said, “When you go to pick a flower, which one do you take?” I’ll never forget that.


If you hate being told what to do, you’ll probably love being an entrepreneur.


People still saw me as competition at my lowest. That’s when I knew.


A man’s worth is measured by what he builds, not what he brags about. Create wealth. Raise strong children. Protect your peace.


Feed a dog for three days, and it’ll remember you for three years. Feed a human for three years, and they’ll forget you in three days.


The real status symbol isn’t a Rolex. It’s walking into your own office, knowing a hundred families eat because of your vision.
