Matt Damon's agent told him he had a 5% chance, so Damon flew to Memphis that same day just to be the third guy filling out an audition

- he was up against Edward Norton, already Oscar-nominated, already the hottest actor in town

he got the part anyway, and that one contract is the only reason Miramax finally green-lit Good Will Hunting

bookmark - the longshot audition that made an Oscar-winning career possible

@Officially_Kriz I'd say he does. Those who are this delusional, and act on it, are the ones who tend to hit their luck somewhere along the way.

This will permanently change the way you think about talent, effort, and success.

NYU Prof. Ruby Thelot on why everyone suddenly cares about taste:

"I wrote a book called A Few Essays on Taste, where I make the case that taste is not just aesthetic preference. Taste is a way for people to consume virtuously. The question of taste emerged in the 17th century, at a time where people needed guidance as to how to consume properly."

"In 1688, the Bill of Rights happens in England after the Glorious Revolution, and the nobility's powers are restrained. As they lose political power, they also lose cultural power. At the same time you have the growth of the British colonies, immense amounts of wealth being generated, and suddenly you have this nouvelle bourgeoisie, this new elite. And there's a belief that this emergence of excessive luxury will lead to the decay of society."

"It is in the vacuum, in the reduction of the cultural power of the previous nobility, that the question of taste emerges. What's interesting to me is that we're in a similar position now. We're entering a similar industrial revolution. We're in the midst of immense amounts of wealth being created, and we're asking ourselves, how do we consume virtuously? That is why the question of taste is emerging. It mirrors 17 and 18th century England."

This line from Atomic Habits isn't ready to leave my head:

"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment."

I had three deadlines planned across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I didn’t touch any of them on Friday or Saturday, yet I’ve now completed two and I’m currently working on the last one.

The interesting part is that I can’t summon my creativity or force myself into a flow state. But when it arrives, it insists upon itself.

I have a very non-linear productivity curve.

Major cheat code for life: Always assume things will work out, then do the work to make it true. It’s a mindset of active optimism. Earned faith. It creates a quiet confidence that allows you to tolerate the uncertainty of life better than anything else.
