The window seat on a plane is an incredible modern blessing. Imagine our ancestors getting to take in such a view. They would have been stunned, speechless. And yet, some close the shade and do what? My God.
I can't understand those who shut the shade, and shut out the world.
Be impossible to ignore. Show up early. Stay late. Do what you say you're going to do. Take things off others plates. Prioritize your tasks. Work weekends. Have a great attitude. Advocate for yourself. Don't gossip, whine, or complain. Then, let time be your ally.
The best way to get hooked on gambling, or drama or any behavior is to disguise a loss as win. The best way to do that? Make losing exciting too, so you don’t notice you’re slowly drifting down… which simply makes you want to go back and try again & again & again, ad Infinitum..
For reason still unclear to me, no one seems to last terribly long at the center of the “longevity” field. Quite different than other areas of biology, health education etc. While all subfields are prone to trends, longevity folks always seem to peak fast & dissipate fast. Why?
A major cheat code in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.
Totally agree with @stevemagness on this. Chasing flow from the outset = you will fail.
Those brave enough to wrestle their way to competence, then mastery, then talent and perhaps even reaching virtuosity (most won’t), will succeed.
Still (continues to be) one of our most listed to episodes, and (humbly) also now the basis for in-class learning about dopamine in many schools, med & psych education.
