The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.

All the most terrifying ifs involve people. All the good ones do as well.

Nearly everything awesome takes longer than you think.

Nonetheless, it is better to feel hopeful and optimistic about oneβs life on earth while engaged in the never-ending struggle to pay rent, than to feel despondent and depressed while engaged in the same non-optional struggle anyway.

There is nothing more common than talented people who never get the life they want, society doesn't reward "being talented," society rewards "using that talent to create something that people want."

"I grew up in a home where saying no wasnβt an option. A no would get you a stern lecture, a long grounding, or worst of all, a withdrawal of love. So as an adult, I became existentially terrified that every no would come with some sort of blowback, such as losing a friendship, an opportunity, or someoneβs good will. And now I give my timeβand my lifeβaway, sometimes to people who have been publicly shitty to me."

Give a man a book and he'll read for a week.
Teach a man to follow his curiosity and he'll read for a lifetime.
