The hard part about embracing the future is that we'd have to accept the fact that our past, our present and all of the things we've worked so hard for, might disappear forever...

Other people's books
Don't waste your life looking for and correcting other people's typos. And instead, start writing your own books...
| |
|
The first step...
Figuring out and learning how to not do something is still better than not doing anything at all. Because knowing how to not do something is the first step to knowing how to do something...
| |
|
Probably true...
You probably don't need more experience. Or more skills. Or a larger network. You probably just need to start believing in yourself...
| |
|
Easy to forget these days...
The best and probably only (and hardest) way to really learn anything in life is to just do it. And to learn along the way...
| |
|
As much as you possibly can...
The less you understand, the safer you'll play. And the more you'll avoid change. As simple as that. Hence, the key is to try to really understand as much stuff as you possibly can...
| |
|
How to become an optimist...
Always prepare for the worst and you'll be pleasantly surprised almost every single time...
| |
|
What everybody else has...
We all want what everybody else has. Which is rarely what we really need...
| |
|
If you feel stuck...
If you don't understand the real problem, you'll never be able to find a real solution...
| |
|
It always is...
Work that matters takes just as much time as work that doesn't. Your choice...
| |
|
More time more problems
More time, money and resources might not help you find a better solution. You might just end up spending more time, money and resources on finding a solution...
| |
|
And so rare...
A few things that can't be bought: Patience, perseverance, discipline, integrity and keeping your promises. That's why they're so valuable. And so rare...
| |
|
Always best...
Sometimes less is better. And sometimes more is better. But "better" is always best...
| |
|
Getting there...
"Slow" might get you there. Just like "fast" might get you there. But what will definitely always get you there is "steady"...
| |
|
Your choices
Freedom isn't about getting everything you want in life. Because you'll always want more. Freedom is about limiting your choices by deciding what's really important to you and then ignoring everything else...
| |
|
It's probably your choice
Unlimited scale comes at a price: It's probably not going to work out. Selling your time comes at a price: It will never scale. Choose wisely...
| |
|
It doesn't exist
"Perfect" feels safe. It makes us feel good. And protected. Because what can go wrong with perfect? Well, one thing can: Perfect doesn't exist...
| |
|
We tend to forget this
Everything that's popular today was once unknown. And everything that's big today was once small. We often tend to forget this...
| |
|
What has been said...
People hear what they want to hear. Which is rarely what has been said...
| |
|
True freedom...
Consider this: true freedom isn't when nobody needs you. And instead, it's when everybody needs you. When you're so indispensable that your boss, your clients, your colleagues, your audience, etc. can't live without you...
| |
|
Does it matter?
It doesn't really matter what you know. Or what you do. Or who you know. What matters is who knows about you and what you do...
| |
|
Infinity is a trap.
The internet promises infinity. Unfortunately, infinity is is never a good starting point. Or a good niche. Or a good target group...
| |
|
Unexpectedly...
The stuff you do when things aren't going according to plan make all the difference. P.S. Things never go according to plan...
