Average Feels Safe But It's Not. It's

We Need To Care Enough To Connect, To Put Ourselves At Emotional Risk And Play One Note Worth Hearing.

The Easiest Way To Thrive As An Outlier Is To Avoid Being One. At Least Among Your Most Treasured Peers. Surround Yourself With People In At Least As Much Of A Hurry, At Least As Inquisitive, At Least As Focused As You Are.

The Way I Understand Gifts Is That The Giver Must Make A Sacrifice, Create An Uneven Exchange, Bring Himself Closer To The Recipient, Create Change And Do It All With The Right Spirit.

Competence Is The Enemy Of Change!

Sooner Or Later, The Ones Who Told You That This Isn't The Way It's Done, The Ones Who Found Time To Sneer, They Will Find Someone Else To Hassle. Sooner Or Later, They Stop Pointing Out How Much Hubris You've Got, How You're Not Entitled To Make A New Thing, How You Will Certainly Come To Regret Your Choices. Sooner Or Later, Your Work Speaks For Itself. Outlasting The Critics Feels Like It Will Take A Very Long Time, But You're More Patient Than They Are.
