@tferriss Being the best at anything requires a great deal of conformity.
To do something truly original, radical, or paradigm changing, you must go your own way.
“If you’re a competitive chess player, you might get very good at chess but neglect to develop other things because you’re focused on beating your competitors, rather than on doing something that’s important or valuable. So I’ve become, I think, much more self-aware over the years about the problematic nature of a lot of the competition. There have been rivalries that we get caught up in. And I would not pretend to have extricated myself from this altogether. So I think, every day, it’s something to reflect on and think about ‘How do I become less competitive in order that I can become more successful?’”

Our most radical changes in perspective often happen at the tail end of our worst moments.
As much as we hate to admit it, our greatest growth usually comes after our greatest pain.
I’m 34.
When I was young, I wasted years and opportunities not knowing what great leadership looked like.
Learn from my mistakes.
