Inspiration to leave Abbott

Idea: setting priorities is being strategic.

One way to think about strategy: Strategy is plotting actions over a time horizon. Doing something now that you can leverage later.

For example, staying quiet. Delaying instant gratification. Sharing more information later when all your ducks are in a row.

Planting a card in gin rummy to pick up later. You

Invest in yourself!

Don’t spend money on clothes and junk.

Spend money on knowledge, training. Books, courses, podcasts.

TAKE A LONG VIEW - so you don’t have regrets later

You can just do things

We do this not because it is easy…

Sub-idea:

Ferolyn funeral; Tony Hsieh Zappos story in book in airport - profoundly sad. What is success??

Mark 8:36

King James Bible
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

How do you know your priorities? Will they change over time?
