Socrates said it over 2,000 years ago. Most people still ignore it. “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

How do you think? What do you believe? Why do you act the way you do? What pattern keeps repeating, and where did it come from?
You can’t change what you refuse to see.

Steve Jobs interviewed 1000s of people at Apple.

He rejected 99% of them (almost instantly).
And only hired those who answered this ONE question perfectly.

We simply do not know what will be required by the job market in the coming decades. What matters most is the capacity to remain flexible, and to have a wide range of skills – intellectual, physical and social.

One heuristic for making startups AI-proof is to make things human intelligence can't compete with either. For example, marketplaces are proof against AI competitors for the same reason they're proof against human ones.

SpaceX was less than 10 people back then. We didn’t even have office furniture.

Failure is an option. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but most things in life are way more achievable than you think. If you decide what you want, and go after it with full effort and intensity, the world will bend to your will far more easily than you might think. You can just do things.

Nothing beats the aura of someone who is street smart, book smart & spiritual smart. You're a triple threat.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The 2-4 hours you spend scrolling each day (or 730-1460 hours each year) is more than enough time to write a book, build a business, or get in shape. In the moment, it seems like nothing. That's why it's so dangerous. Your time disappears without you being conscious of it.
