Business
- Doing is faster than watching: you will get much more skilled at "business" by running a lemonade stand than by reading business school case studies.
- The number of "doing" iterations drives the learning curve.
- We are evolved for frequent, visible small wins and to ignore the infrequent, hidden, catastrophic risks.
Entrepreneurs bleed every day, but when they win ,they win big.
- Solve via iteration. Then get paid via repetition.
learned
- Sing the song that only you can sing ,write the book that only you can write, build the product than only you can build......live the life that only you can live.
- The best relationships are peer relationships.
When given power over others, our ego justifies it by assuming we are smarter.
Better to have people work with us than for us.
Better motivated on the wrong thing than unmotivated on the right thing.
Debate rather than dictate.
- Re-read the greats until absorbed. Number of books read is a vanity metric.
A modern foundation adds persuasion( communication ) and computers to reading, writing, and arithmetic.
- Read what you love until you love to read.
Instead of memorizing, understand the basics so you can derive answers.
If you're good at math and science, you won't fear any book.
The means of learning are abundant, it's the desire to learn that's scarce.
- Specific knowledge can't be taught, but can be learned.
Knowledge that gets you paid.
Identify your strengths and apply them
