Anything worth achieving in life has a dip

We are too focused on avoiding criticism and not enough on making a difference.
art winning advice
My best advice: win little battles. Get in the habit of winning, of shipping, of having customers that can't live without you. Once you've demonstrated you know how to do the art, then go after the windmills.
jobs

Deadlines have a lousy name. Call them live-lines instead. That´t what they are.

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.

If you don't get it built, the work doesn't matter.
