The Evergreens

Finding your way in life is like unlocking the combination of a safe. You have to go forwards and backwards. Life is not a direct march from A to B. The twists and turns are progress, not regression. What feels like a setback in the moment is later revealed to have been part of the path all along. Each move was necessary to get to your end goal.

“The fast way is the slow way because the slow way is the only way” – Steven Bartlett

1. Be pleasant


2. Ask questions


3. Engage daily

It's hard for a warm and pleasant person who is asking a lot of questions and engaging in their industry daily to not come across interesting opportunities."

Keep in touch, and always send a thank you note

you have to do the low stakes stuff to prepare for the high stakes stuff. They are the building blocks of confidence, and that's an enormous thing.

you almost certainly can't consistently do the kind of work that demands serious mental focus for more than about three or four hours a day.

Beware: learning more is a smart person’s favorite form of procrastination.
