Be “selectively ignorant.”
Ignore topics that drain your attention.
Unfollow people that drain your energy.
Abandon projects that drain your time.
Do not keep up with it all. The more selectively ignorant you become, the more broadly knowledgable you can be.
When reading books or listening to podcasts or taking advice, remember that everyone is biased to their personal history.
The world is complex and there is no single path to a success. Look for patterns that are repeated across many successful people, not single stories.
As best I can tell, to achieve exceptional results you need 4 things:
(1) Quantity: You take lots of shots.
(2) Quality: You take thoughtful shots.
(3) Consistency: You keep shooting for a long time.
(4) Luck: You get a few favorable bounces.
What else would you add?
Win the day.
There are many questions swirling right now...
How long will this last?
How will we manage?
How will we recover?
How worried should I be?
Leave it be. Nobody knows the answers.
Have the best day you can, today. Win the moment in front of you now.
Win the day.
“It’s not that we fear the unknown. You cannot fear something that you do not know. Nobody is afraid of the unknown. What you really fear is the loss of the known. That is what you fear” -Anthony De Mello
