"Opportunities" are distractions.
Obstacles are where the real opportunities live. It's buried treasure. You have to work to uncover it.

@cwodtke I’ve encountered people conflating OKRs with SMART goals—specifically in a project management context.

Recognizing a change is unlikely is a necessary part of making unlikely change, but anyone using present unlikelihood as a reason to not start expecting anyway it is acting to prevent that change from ever becoming likely.

The world is changeable. We can change anything we want.

It's weird how the people who starred in Bram Stoker's Dracula have all barely aged since 1992. Probably nothing to worry about

To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.

"If you're not working hard, ideas don’t matter. The best idea is worthless without execution.

If you're already working hard, ideas are crucial. Most effort is wasted on mediocre ideas."
