Reminder

f someone’s much better than you at something, they probably try much harder. You probably underestimate how much harder they try. I’m not saying that talent isn’t a meaningful differentiator, because it certainly is, but I think people generally underestimate how effort needs to be poured into talent in order to develop it. So much of getting good at anything is just pure labor

If you're so smart, why can't you keep yourself entertained for hours on end just by drawing on the powers of your imagination like you could as a kid?

double down on your intuition; the world ahead has no roads

you burnout on the direction, not the distance

There are no straight lines in nature. Why should your career be any different?

When you meet a swordsman, draw your sword: Do not recite poetry to one who is not a poet.
