Mark Bell Inspirational Quotes: Tribes of Mentor by Tim Ferriss

1. “Either you’re in, or you’re in the way.” Often, we chase after people who aren’t “in,” who, for whatever reason, don’t fit into our lives or our business. We waste time with these people when our focus should be on the people who are in. P 310

2. “Part of knowing who you are is knowing who you’re not.” P 310

3. I spent $1,200 on learning how to be a professional wrestler.
Since you’re talking in front of a peer group, as well as a live audience, it forces you to think on your feet and improv. Professional wrestling also taught me to cut down on nervous tension by going up to people, introducing myself, and shaking their hands. P 311

3. I like feeling sore. I like beating the sh*t out of myself with workouts. I don’t necessarily love the pain, but I love the results I get out of it over a long period of time.P 311

4. the way to get the strongest is to lift what is optimal and not what is maximal. In general, lifters and coaches tend to lift too heavy, too often. I think it’s human nature in some ways to try to take on more than we can handle. But to make progress, you need to lift and do things that are more realistic. Any time you overreach, you are putting yourself in a compromised position. P 312

5. ...invest time in (yourselves), to make sure (you) have some sort of physical activity in (your) life, and adhere to some form of nutrition that keeps (you)healthy. When that stuff falls apart, it can make other things more difficult. P 312
