obvious-things choices looks
And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. And my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. Cows are invisible. Cows are boring. Who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? Nobody.
anxiety challenges
I define anxiety as experiencing failure in advance.
voice vocabulary people
One reason I encourage people to blog is that the act of doing it stretches your available vocabulary and hones a new voice.
business believe people
People don't believe what you tell them. They rarely believe what you show them. They often believe what their friends tell them. They always believe what they tell themselves.
waiting fine plans
Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.
choices way talent
Choices lead to habits. Habits become talents. Talents are labeled gifts. You’re not born this way, you get this way.
dream way happens
Own your dreams. There is no better way to make them happen.
business air ideas
Ideas in secret die. They need light and air or they starve to death.
business work resumes
You are not your resume, you are your work.
zero mean ideas
That the horrible Zika virus or HIV, we can look at what it means to be patient zero, what it means to need not much contact to spread, and all of those things follow into the way ideas spread.
done tables problem
The problem with taking offense is that it's really hard to figure out what to do with it after you're done using it. Better to just leave it on the table and walk away. Umbrage untaken quietly disappears.
delight skeptic believer
Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong, it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers. They deserve it, after all, and they're the ones that are going to spread the word for you.
struggle differences making-a-difference
One option is to struggle to be heard whenever you're in the room... Another is to be the sort of person who is missed when you're not. The first involves making noise. The second involves making a difference.
girlfriend powerful school
You know, if I look at an auditorium full of high school students and the big man on campus and his girlfriend are busy talking while the lecture's going on, the rest of the room is going to do it because they're powerful sneezers. They have influence. They reach out to a whole bunch of people in a way that makes the idea of being disrespectful spread.
