“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
— Dale Carnegie
This quote from Steve Jobs lives rent free in my head...
"People who are genuinely great at something don't compete. They don't care about being compared to others because they're so deep in their own lane that comparison would be a waste of time. They just do their thing."
One of the most compelling parts about working at an ElonCo was the agility to pivot to whatever the most important problem was.
One day I said: I wasn’t hired to go after spam, but a tsunami is coming and I’m going to drop everything to focus on that.
The org is so flat and agile that your title is basically meaningless. Anyone can sound the alarm about a problem and solve it themselves—or rally the team to join them.
This is how startups work but it’s very hard to make it work in a larger company.
The point is,
The govt should do the least amount of works, not more at any cost.
Bcz, why would you want the most inefficient machinery to do more, it'll be a huge loss for all.
And this not a effective capital allocation in an economy.
There r 4 ways on how money is spent
1. Using ur money to spend on yourself
2. Using ur money to spend on others
3. Using ur teams/companies (private sector) money to spend on yourself or others or both
4. Using someone's money to spend on some one else (Government sector)
