thinking views internet
At its core, I don't view Facebook as a social network. I think it could become the driver's license of the Internet. And beyond that, it can become the pipes and the plumbing upon what most of the Internet is built. I think it's very well positioned.
views doctors interesting
There are a lot of things that can be learned from the darker corners of athletics. You have doctors who view bodybuilders as cavalier amateurs of science. And then you have the bodybuilders who view the doctors as too conservative to do anything interesting. So I've tried to become the middleman for putting some of those pieces together.
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.
appreciation views two
I'm often asked how I define "success." It's an overused term, but I fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation. One isn't enough: Achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable. Appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.
hard-work hard
I work hard, but in spurts.
cutting dedication essence
At least three time per day at scheduled times, he had to ask himself the following question: Am I being productive or just active? Charney captured the essence of this with less-abstract wording: Am I inventing things to do to avoid the important? He eliminated all of the activities he used as crutches and began to focus on demonstrating results instead of showing dedication. Dedication is often just meaningless work in disguise. Be ruthless and cut the fat.
work weekend important
Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself "I'll just get it done this weekend."
coffee airplane champion
World barista champions use the AeroPress to make coffee on the folding tray tables of airplanes.
driven activity
Work is an activity that is financially-driven or one that you'd like to do less of.
witty fun sake
What I don't like is snark for snark's sake. If you are going to make fun of me, at least be witty while doing it.
jobs stress thinking
People really do think they have to choose between high stress and high reward jobs, and low stress and low reward jobs.
class skills world
One of the bigger misconceptions of learning is that many skills take a lifetime to get world-class at, or 10,000 hours to become world-class at.
technology world digital
In a digital world, there are numerous technologies that we are attached to that create infinite interruption.
fans dose idleness
I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.
