The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.

Most of what we think we're doing when we're asking for help, when we're going to seminars, when we're watching youtube videos...we're just procrastinating. We're not really serious. When you're serious, you just do it." - Naval Ravikant

On the danger of 'good' ideas:
"You will fail, because you pursued a good idea. You're like 'Oh, this is a really good idea, I can do this too!' I went to do that, and found it gets exponentially more expensive to compete in that second area. Every day, someone gets up with infinite money and infinite power to do it better than you do it. Figure out what you need in your personal life to be happy. Figure out what you need to do in your professional life. Be the best in the world at that thing. When someone comes to you with all these opportunities, say no. Taking them gets you worse at main thing."

Always produce is also a heuristic for finding the work you love. If you subject yourself to that constraint, it will automatically push you away from things you think you're supposed to work on, toward things you actually like. 'Always produce' will discover your life's work the way water, with the aid of gravity, finds the hole in your roof." - Paul Graham
