differences making-a-difference criticism
We are too focused on avoiding criticism and not enough on making a difference.
names lines deadline
Deadlines have a lousy name. Call them live-lines instead. That´t what they are.
careers errors effort
Remarkable visions and genuine insight are always met with resistance. And when you start to make progress, your efforts are met with even more resistance. Products, services, career paths... whatever it is, the forces for mediocrity will align to stop you, forgiving no errors and never backing down until it's over
average firsts revolution
Every revolution destroys the average middle first and most savagely.
regret long choices
Sooner or later, the ones who told you that this isn't the way it's done, the ones who found time to sneer, they will find someone else to hassle. Sooner or later, they stop pointing out how much hubris you've got, how you're not entitled to make a new thing, how you will certainly come to regret your choices. Sooner or later, your work speaks for itself. Outlasting the critics feels like it will take a very long time, but you're more patient than they are.
people peers way
The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are.
matter ifs built
If you don't get it built, the work doesn't matter.
competence scarce
Competence is no longer scarce.
opposites overcoming helping
Seek out habits that help you overcome fear or inertia. Destroy those that do the opposite.
ties psychopath
I'm not a psychopath-I'm wearing a tie!
expression action problem
The problem with words is that they easily lose their meaning. Say something often enough and it becomes a tic, not an expression of how you actually feel. Not only that, but words rarely change things. Actions do.
keys trying something-new
One key to learning and success is the willingness to try something new, and feel momentarily incompetent.
running reality perfect
If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. Your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. Your tenth one might not be either. Confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. Shrug. Admit defeat. Hit delete. One more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. Of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.
marketing want messages
Marketers want to get their messages in front of you. They must get their messages in front of you, just to survive. The only problem is-do you really want more marketing messages?
