Mostly Borrowed Ideas
How is Elon Musk running multiple companies at the frontier of tech yet still managing to get into complicated non-platonic relationships with colleague(s), Hollywood actors, and centi-billionaire's wife? Are we sure Musk is just one person?

Stranger than fiction indeed.

RT @AdamMGrant: Writing isn't what you do after you have an idea. It's how you develop an inkling into an insight.

Turning thoughts into words sharpens reasoning. What's fuzzy in your head is clear on the page.

"I'm not a writer" shouldn't stop you from writing. Writing is a tool for thinking. https://t.co/nqRT3gKX9l

.@SuperMugatu makes an excellent point that I've tried to build systems around to avoid doing it myself:

"There's something about stocks that just short-circuits mental processes."

A reason to default to kindness: negative stuff far outweighs good stuff in our minds. Think twice before being casually mean on Twitter (or in reviews, or anywhere online), most people are far more bothered by a bad comment than cheered by a good one. https://t.co/xXgtvwTIEy
The classic article arguing bad outweighs good: "Many good events can overcome the psychological effects of a single bad one. When equal measures of good and bad are present, however, the psychological effects of bad ones outweigh those of the good ones." https://t.co/LAB5zADaf3 https://t.co/GoHYmJYfLj - Ethan Mollick

Startups usually take a while (often a year or two) to figure out exactly what their business is. The biggest preventable cause of failure is spending too much money, by hiring too many people, during this period.

Living in the English countryside has raised my standards for scenery but lowered them for food. So Silicon Valley seems extraordinarily ugly but the food in practically any restaurant seems amazing.

Those who say that you can do anything if you put your mind to it have not tried many things have they?
