Tips for happiness, family, networking etc.

There’s a lot of alpha in being willing to do “menial” work (take notes, send out agendas, order pizza, manually inspect raw data, whatever). Beware over-delegation and being too far from the details.

What is wonderful about The Great Differentiation, though, what gives me hope, is that people seem to be copying the desire to differentiate.

Instead of faking the form, they are emulating the essence: create something unique and true to you, something that only you have earned. Something different.

This is good advice for all of us.

Differentiate.

“The question isn't who's going to let me; it's who's going to stop me.”

"[T]his is my work. I have to take full responsibility for doing it right as well as doing it wrong. Doing it wrong isn’t bad, but doing it wrong and thinking you’ve done it right is."

What looks like consistency and commitment can sometimes be fear in disguise. Are you sticking with it because it still serves you or because it's what you already know?

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." - Confucius

Never bet against the person who just keeps showing up.
