The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Skin in the Game may be nice but The Black Swan is the OG Nicholas Taleb. Read this book to learn how to think and avoid biases and reread at least once very couple of years.

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
But I’ll see you in the sky above, In the tall grass, in the ones I love, You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Poland
Poland sits in Central Europe, stretching from the Baltic Sea in the north to mountains in the south. It shares borders with Germany to the west, Lithuania and Russia to the northeast, and several other countries along the east and south. Its landscape is a mix—flat plains in the center and north, and hilly or mountainous areas in the south. The coastline along the Baltic Sea is known for sandy beaches and coastal ridges. Inland, there are thousands of lakes, especially in the northeast, and big rivers like the Vistula and Oder cut across the land. The weather is temperate. Summers are warm, winters moderately cold. Rain tends to fall more during the summer months, and winters are becoming drier over time. Poland has deep roots in European history. It became a kingdom in 1025, later forming a powerful union with Lithuania. The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was once one of Europe’s biggest states, with a unique political system. Poland's fortunes shifted in the late 18th century, when its neighbors carved it up, erasing it from maps for over a century. It re-emerged after World War I, only to be invaded at the start of World War II—a conflict that brought devastation and the horrors of the Holocaust. After the war, Poland fell under Soviet influence, but by 1989, it was the first Eastern Bloc country to shake off communism, thanks largely to the Solidarity movement. Today, Poland is a democratic country with a population of over 38 million. Warsaw, the capital, is the largest city. Others like Kraków, Gdańsk, and Wrocław are known for historic centers and vibrant culture. The economy is strong, with Poland being one of the larger economies in the European Union. Nature lovers come for places like the Tatra Mountains or the ancient Białowieża Forest, home to Europe’s largest land mammal—the European bison. There are 23 national parks, and over 17 sites are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage locations, from medieval town squares to the haunting Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial. Culturally, Poland has a rich tradition of music, literature, and art. Composer Frédéric Chopin and novelist Joseph Conrad both came from here. More recently, Poland’s fantasy literature, like Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher series, has found global fame. Polish cuisine is hearty, with dishes like pierogi (dumplings), bigos (a cabbage and meat stew), and żurek (sour rye soup). Vodka has its roots here, but beer and wine are also popular. Sports are big in Poland—football (soccer) is a national passion, though volleyball and speedway racing attract large crowds too. The country also boasts top tennis players like Iga Świątek and mountaineers who’ve climbed the world’s highest peaks. Despite its complicated past, Poland today balances its historical heritage with modern growth. Old town squares sit beside new buildings, and traditions are kept alive alongside a fast-developing economy and infrastructure.
Papillon
The Papillon is a small, friendly, elegant toy dog with a fine boned structure. He is light and dainty, yet still lively, and is distinguished from other breeds by his beautiful, butterfly-like ears. They are known to be happy and alert little dogs that are not shy or aggressive. The breed must be either part-color or white with patches of any color.
