Vision, Taste and Judgement

In picturing or approaching the Divine as a “you,” I somehow feel I’m being inappropriate, or disrespectful, or offensive – something like talking loudly in the midst of the hushed beauty of a New Zealand forest.

Embracing Curiosity:

• Nurture curiosity as the key driver of great work.

• Use curiosity to choose fields, explore gaps, and drive progress.
  
  Paul Graham

Avoiding Affectation:

• Be earnest and intellectually honest in your work.

• Maintain informality and focus on substance over appearance.
  
  Paul Graham

Avoiding External Validation:

• Focus on impressing people you respect rather than seeking fame recognition.

• Let curiosity guide your work rather than external competition.
  
  Paul Graham

Balancing Ability and Interest:

• Combine ability and interest to find work where you can excel.

• Ignore modesty and fear to pursue ambitious goals.
