As John Grey put it, “If there is anything unique about the human animal, it is that it has the ability to grow knowledge at an accelerating rate while being chronically incapable of learning from experience.”

@AdamJRochette @arvidkahl @trends_vc @jakobgreenfeld the best way to learn is to cultivate broad curiosity!

[Ross Ruffing @RossRuffing]

@kylegawley classic case of not understanding customer behavior and building (&investing) based on assumptions. I liked what they were building and agree there’s a need for it, more questions than answers, though, about what the problem is.

[Gustav von Sydow @vonsydow]

@agazdecki So… startup success boils down to more funding or an exit. What ever happened to making the world a better place? https://t.co/3wtAtCEPg2

The ultimate meta-goal of learning is for knowledge to compound over time.

We want to learn in such a way that new knowledge builds on top of existing foundations in an accelerating, non-linear manner.

For this to work, we need our knowledge to exist in an exposed environment.

@SievaKozinsky sales pushes you out of your comfort zone, teaches you patience, and forces you to face your own empathy and ethics. important things to do for an interesting life and fulfilling career

[Ross Ruffing @RossRuffing]

@dagorenouf @arvidkahl humanity is an infinite money game, money comes money goes, infinitely. more earned more spent, endlessly. the tragic losses hit below the bottom line. the highest gains far above our earthly ways. to earn infinitely is to think perpetually, serve definitively, yearn spiritually

[Ross Ruffing @RossRuffing]

@arvidkahl @dagorenouf can fail and retry though, and the cheat codes are infinite, depending more on your own creativity than luck and trolling the internet. ok, ok - trolling the internet for cheat codes on entrepreneurship can also be a solid strategy

@davidu @SievaKozinsky truth, but if they have intelligent questions about cap tables, equity, and growth strategies, don’t lowball, find a way to make it work

@storymentor @OneJKMolina mentors seek mentees that provide value in return. the harder you work, the more they learn and feel inspired and the more they tell their friends about you.

@SerialSales just another bloke in the line of doubters my friend. if commission sales or entrepreneur, get used to being denied benefits designed around the 40 hr 9-5, fixed growth rate career. they’re designed to compliment one another - stifling the nonconformist. bring it

[Ross Ruffing @RossRuffing]

@joserosado or exceptional planning to squeeze the most out of 24 hrs without turning into a zombie. moderation in all things, including singing with the muse at 4 in the morn

[Ross Ruffing @RossRuffing]

@storymentor @joserosado not even for fun? something special about watching the sunrise with grog in your eyes and the lucid creativity that comes with it. nothing beats a consistent sleep in terms of cognitive function. variety and unpredictable serendipity are powerful forces though
