Paul Graham said, ““If you don’t try to be the best, you won’t even be good. In some ways it’s easier to try to be the best than to try merely to be good.”
This pure gold. A senior with teenager inquiry mind with memories that need to walk and find a treasured space to park. And what you shared I am read at it. Thanks
I have been taught that everything we read, see, come across is in our field and we have access to it. The key is to practice drawing upping that awareness, trusting oneself.
I often have experienced having a question in my awareness and the answer does come.
I read the bit leading up to "The relevance creates retention." in the cadence of "the missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn't". Which, upon reflection, makes perfect sense, because that video was a narration of a flight control system; cybernetics
Love the advice around setting up a digital commonplace book. The issue for me is that inspiration tends to strike during the most random moments. My phone’s notes app is filled with seemingly-random and unrelated thoughts (many of which were sweatily typed in during a run 😅). I’d be so curious to go back and analyze these ideas to find any common threads (or even to just revisit the ideas I never got around to pursuing). Thanks for the new ideas on archiving and actioning these thoughts!
Really resonated with the point of being extreme.

“Find out what you uniquely do best” - great life and career advice

Great advice. Need to start maintaining a commonplace book asap!
