“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer the negative elements in your life, don’t sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
— Dale Carnegie
I am begging you to read some fiction bro.
→ Not because it makes you look smart.
→ Because fiction teaches things that bullet points can’t.
→ A self-help book tells you to be resilient.
→ The Count of Monte Cristo makes you live through resilience for 1,000+ pages.
→ A self-help book tells you to understand people.
→ Dostoevsky puts you inside minds you’d never otherwise understand.
→ Information is easy to forget.
→ Experience isn’t.
Read fiction.
Your attention span, empathy, vocabulary, and understanding of human nature will improve.
Most problems are solved by walking. If you're stuck on one, do not stare at the screen any longer.Get up and move.Without music.Without a podcast. Immerse yourself in the outside world.The rhythm of your feet unlocks the rhythm of your thoughts. That's how evolution designed us.
