Principles

  • There’s nothing here
  • Only the things in my hands are the things that are relevant
  • Taking things too seriously is a lack of understanding
  • Momentum brings so much value that effort at other times is negligible
  • If I close my eyes, everything in the world disappears but me
  • If you represent great strength or skill in some category, most of the people you meet will be less promising in that department
  • We have but a moment, brief as a lightning strike
  • Act on the world and give no weight to the external
  • Fearlessness is required for worthwhile pursuits
  • Lack of fear comes from understanding, not exerted internal power
  • You pay attention to yourself and your story
  • Get the thing out there and completed, because open loops are far worse than some detail being subpar
  • Be in other people’s top tier, or not at all
  • Being rejected or turned down leaves it on the other person, but opportunity not reached for is firmly in your fault
  • Today’s extreme thing is tomorrow’s average
