Life Advice
Sylvester McNutt III urges us to stop overthinking:
“Overthinking is the biggest waste of human energy. Trust yourself, make a decision, and gain more experience. There is no such thing as perfect. You cannot think your way into perfection, just take action.”
Quote on direction over speed:
"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.
"If you think you’re running 10 minutes late, text to say you’ll be 15 minutes late. That way the other person gets one disappointment and one pleasant surprise. Most people do the opposite: they say they’re 5 minutes late when it’s 10 and end up annoying the other and looking like total fools."

“The goal is not to retire. It’s to find work you don’t want to retire from.”
Make sure to focus your time on the important & not urgent
"Today might be the best chance you have to take action.
The longer you wait, the more deeply embedded you get in your current lifestyle. Your habits solidify. Your beliefs harden. You get comfortable.
It will never be easy, but it may also never be easier than it is right now."
"Remain playful as your responsibilities increase. It's easy to become serious when people and results depend on you, but nearly everyone's performance improves when they proceed lightly through the world."
