From composer, musician, and philanthropist Peter Buffett comes a warm, wise, and inspirational book that asks, Which will you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest satisfaction? You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes. In Life Is What You Make It, Buffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way. Today's society, Buffett posits, has begun to replace a work ethic, relishing what you do, with a wealth ethic, honoring the payoff instead of the process. We confuse privilege with material accumulation, character with external validation. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. In clear and concise terms, Buffett reveals a great truth: Life is random, neither fair nor unfair. From there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life--our circumstances may vary but our essences do not. We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts, crises, and blunders. How we push through and persevere in these challenging moments is where we begin to create the life of our dreams--from discovering our vocations to living out our bliss to giving back to others. Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, Life Is What You Make It is about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest.From the Hardcover edition.

Perfect fit
I use them for my moto g stylo 2023 and my Samsung s8 ultra tab. These fit well even with a case on them.

Nice to Have 90° Angle USB-C Adapters
The Herfair 180 Degree USB C Adapter is compact, simple to use, and fits snugly inside the USB C ports I've plugged it into. I got it to use with my Steam Deck, since the charging port comes out of the top of the device, and holding it with the cord sticking out of the top creates unneeded pressure. Something like the Nintendo Switch has the port coming out of the bottom, but then you can't comfortably rest the device in your lap. The benefit of using this adapter is that I'm now getting the best of both worlds. It extends just enough to let the cord freely travel down the back of the Deck, but it's compact enough that I can set the Deck down on a flat surface and the adapter doesn't touch the desk or tabletop. Even better, it fits right alongside the exhaust fan attachment that I use to keep the Deck cool.
All in all, this adapter did exactly what I was hoping it would and fits so well that I can pretty much forget it's there unless I'm putting the Deck in its carrying case. I'm really glad to have this!

Does exactly what you need it for.
I like these adapters.
Some pros:
* There's a blue light to show that power is coming to the adapter (great to ensure you've plugged it in correctly)
* The gap at the bottom of the plug ensures that it works with a phone in a case. (I tested it on an iPhone 15 pro max)
* The connectors are solid good click when connected.
* The housing is solid aluminum (no flex or seams, etc)
* There is a little label on each that shows how much power or data can go through it.
Use case:
* Allowing you to use your phone on your bed while the phone is sitting on your chest (and still plugged in)
* For the USB-C to female USB-A female adapter, the page shows that you can use this to connect a flash drive or a regular USB-A cable with the other end going to your peripheral (like a keyboard or game controller)
Overall, this is a great item to own in your gadget bag.

They work.
They work fine for my sort of "specialized?" use. By relieving the strain on the laptops USB ports. Hopefully, prolonging their lifespan.
Do wish they would make the edges and corners a bit rounded.
