"The Mundanity of Excellence" [1989] is an essay that everyone should read today. It explains that excellence is about doing the same right thing repeatedly, even if it seems boring. Success comes from being consistent over time, but our short attention spans often make us forget this.

Experience. Don’t observe.
Inhale. Don’t read.
Transfigure. Don’t shift.
Advocate. Don’t ponder.
Prove. Don’t promise.
Encourage. Don’t cut.
Imagine. Don’t worry.
Do. Don’t analyze.
Hear. Don’t listen.
Show. Don’t tell.
Give. Don’t take.

“The things that are going to be valuable are the things you can’t teach or copy.”
