Why does the brain consume 50% of our energy even though it weighs 2% of the bodymass?

Because it's in control and influences where valuable resources end up in our body.

PS: this is also the same reason how CEOs pay themselves significantly more than their employees.

[Paras Chopra @paraschopra]

Great entrepreneurs have an instinct for efficient risk-taking. They:

• First figure out the most expensive assumption for growth
• Find the cheapest way to test that assumption
• Obsessively create optionality of positive outcomes
• Double down on realized positive outcomes

The only bird that dares to peck at an eagle is the crow. However the eagle does not fight but opens its wings and flies higher - eventually the crow can’t breathe and falls down. Key learning - not all battles, arguments or critics need to be fought with or responded to.

Passion alone is not necessarily a virtue. You can be very passionate about something & abandon it as soon as an obstacle comes along. What you need is a combination of passion, determination & perseverance. This leads to grit. Your grit will define your success.
