meaningful people would-be
For most people, life would be boring without meaningful work.
lonely ninety-nine people
It's lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for "realistic" goals, paradoxically making them the most time-consuming and energy consuming. It is easier to raise $10,000,000 than it is $1,000,000. It is easier to pick up the one perfect 10 in the bar than the five 8s.
believe people tools
You don't have to travel, but I find extended travel to be a helpful tool for reexamining yourself and the constraints you've artificially placed on your life. It's easy to believe everything has to be done one way if you're always in one place around the same people.
people drug notes
I take notes like some people take drugs...
strong mean people
If you take a strong stance and have a clear opinion or statement on any subject online, you're going to polarize people. And without that polarity, there's no discussion. Discussion is what I want, which means that I'm fine with the consequences.
inspirational people miserable
Most people are good at a handful of things and utterly miserable at most.
people criticism needs
People who avoid all criticism fail. It's destructive criticism we need to avoid, not criticism in all forms.
jobs perfect people
I will take as a given that, for most people, somewhere between six and seven billion of them, the perfect job is the one that takes the least time.
powerful successful people
People are fond of using the its not what you know, its who you know adage as an excuse for inaction, as if all successful people are born with powerful friends. Nonsense.
inspirational moving people
Most people are fast to stop you before you get started but hesitate to get in the way if you're moving.
thinking people worry
Be bold and don't worry about what people think. They don't do it that often anyway.
thinking views people
I think time management as a label encourages people to view each 24-hour period as a slot in which they should pack as much as possible.
people trying next
I encourage active skepticism - when people are being skeptical because they're trying to identify the best course of action. They're trying to identify the next step for themselves or other people.
dark thinking people
I'm not averse to making a lot of money. But where does that end? I hang out with people with hundreds of millions of dollars. Is that the standard by which I should measure myself? Where does that take you if you're in my business? I think it takes you to pretty dark, corrupt places.
