names lines deadline
Deadlines have a lousy name. Call them live-lines instead. That´t what they are.
careers errors effort
Remarkable visions and genuine insight are always met with resistance. And when you start to make progress, your efforts are met with even more resistance. Products, services, career paths... whatever it is, the forces for mediocrity will align to stop you, forgiving no errors and never backing down until it's over
average firsts revolution
Every revolution destroys the average middle first and most savagely.
regret long choices
Sooner or later, the ones who told you that this isn't the way it's done, the ones who found time to sneer, they will find someone else to hassle. Sooner or later, they stop pointing out how much hubris you've got, how you're not entitled to make a new thing, how you will certainly come to regret your choices. Sooner or later, your work speaks for itself. Outlasting the critics feels like it will take a very long time, but you're more patient than they are.
people peers way
The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are.
matter ifs built
If you don't get it built, the work doesn't matter.
competence scarce
Competence is no longer scarce.
opposites overcoming helping
Seek out habits that help you overcome fear or inertia. Destroy those that do the opposite.
opportunity unique way
That's your opportunity - to approach your work in a way that generates unique learning and interactions that are worth sharing.
ties psychopath
I'm not a psychopath-I'm wearing a tie!
believe yesterday may
While you may have made money doing something a certain way yesterday, there's no reason to believe you'll succeed at it tomorrow.
expression action problem
The problem with words is that they easily lose their meaning. Say something often enough and it becomes a tic, not an expression of how you actually feel. Not only that, but words rarely change things. Actions do.
believe opposites perfect
The object isn't to be perfect. The goal isn't to hold back until you've created something beyond reproach. I believe the opposite is true. Our birthright is to fail and to fail often, but to fail in search of something bigger than we can imagine. To do anything else is to waste it all.
keys trying something-new
One key to learning and success is the willingness to try something new, and feel momentarily incompetent.
