inspiration

Never spend time on something I’d end up regretting if it didn’t lead to the outcome I hoped for.

Ideas can feel complete. It's only when you try to put them into words that you discover they're not. So if you never subject your ideas to that test, you'll not only never have fully formed ideas, but also never realize it.

—Paul Graham

Don’t ask yourself where your true gifts lie. Ask what other people seem weirdly bad at.

You are not most people, so don’t do things for most people. Don’t do things for most people; do things for yourself based on your own unique tastes and experiences, and the right people will show up. Raise your standards and aspire for greatness. Don’t just impress your friends; impress God himself.

take action without feeling the need to explain yourself

Write about what you build. Build what you write about . But the quality bar is high. Each needs to stand on its own. Because in this increasingly noisy world, only the best will break through.

With all due respect, we have it pretty good. Our problems are boring.

being the best > being the first

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
