This is for the people who look at the world from a different perspective. The ones who are restless. The ones who strive for change. The ones who see things differently. The ones who don’t accept the status quo. The ones who challenge current thinking patterns. The ones who break down existing barriers. The ones who make the impossible possible. The ones who build new things. The ones most people call crazy, but we call them passionate. This is for the people just like you and me...
There will never be a shortage of opportunities. Because there'll always be an abundance of people that are too comfortable to seize them. Make it count...
Life's too short to be doing the same things over and over again. It's too short to keep doing new things over and over again. It's too short to not be taking any risks. It's too short to keep taking risks...
Don't start looking for that new thing only once you're running out of time, energy or resources. And instead, start looking when you still got plenty of them...
You don't start once you've got good ideas. You just start and the ideas will follow. Good ones and bad ones. Mostly bad ones. But over time, some good ones will follow...
The challenge is that the things that got you started, are likely also going to be the things that will push you to just give up and start something new...
The first step is to understand what people said or did. And the second step (sometimes even more important than the first step) is to understand why they said what they said and did what they did...
The best and probably only way to convince anyone: Results. Everything else doesn't really matter. Plans don't matter. Ideas don't matter. What you say doesn't matter. What you do doesn't matter. And sometimes even results don't matter...
We're still taught that the key is to know stuff. And not how to understand stuff. But once you really understand stuff, it doesn't really matter how much or how little you know...
Once you get all the answers, it's about asking the right questions. The only problem: being able to ask all the right questions requires us to be able to connect the dots. Something we haven't really been focused on over the past few decades of hyper-specialization...
We usually expect good stuff to happen long before it actually does. Just like we expect bad stuff to happen much later than it actually does. Keep that in mind...
Change usually seems unnecessary. More often than not it's inconvenient. And uncomfortable. But at one point it's usually inevitable. Until one day it's too late...
Either you're among the best, have some of the best systems in place (for creation and distribution), have an unfair advantage or you have a combination of those. Everything else won't get you there...
That one thing you're waiting for that's supposed to change everything rarely changes anything. Because the only thing that will ever change anything (and everything) is when you change...
Don't compare your worst days to everybody else's best days. The tricky part: we mostly get to see, read about or listen to everybody else's best days...
The harder the stuff you do on a regular basis, the easier everything else gets. And the easier the stuff you do on a regular basis, the harder everything else gets...
