Every morning in the savannah, the gazelle wakes up and knows it must outrun the lion or be killed. The lion wakes up and knows it must outrun the gazelle or starve. Whether you're the gazelle or the lion, when you wake up in the morning, you'd better start running.
My life began when I realized nobody knows what they’re doing. There’s no “council of elders” running the world. You don’t need permission to do anything. You don’t need approval or qualifications. You can just do things. Embrace that and the world starts bending to your will.
When people expect you to beg, go silent. When people expect you to fold, double down. Most folks can’t handle unpredictability. It scrambles their scripts.
There are two kinds of people in this world.
The first looks at others who have accomplished things and thinks: Why them? Why not me?
The other looks at those same people and thinks: If they can do it, why can't I?
@justcfc@JacobSteinberg If he was winning games people would praise him for being a genius. It’s only because he was losing that this narrative is coming out.
