The bad news is that my work will almost always be acted upon by an unbalanced force. It’s called life. Counteract this force by building momentum. Start all pieces of work a bit earlier, ...

It lurks in the back of your mind.

When times get hard, it taunts you.

You spend endless energy negotiating with yourself.

I hope this thread makes you better.

Start small and learn fast. Your first move doesn't need to be perfect; it just needs to teach you something. Focus more on the next small step that moves you closer to the goal.

Motion creates momentum, and momentum reveals opportunities that standing still never could.

Eventually we’ll have machines that can dream. But there’ll always still be the hard, dumb, bottleneck that is human effort. You shape what you make and it shapes you right back. When you get stuck nothing is going to help you get unstuck except sheer stubbornness and self-driven motion. That’s the most rewarding part though: if you expend enough e... See more
