Everybody started with zero. You're not the first.

And somehow, the skill starts to show in your life. People just start to naturally trust you because you're the kind of person that can absorb their story without feeling the need to tell someone else.
I'm increasingly convinced that discretion is one of the most underrated traits in life. Not every story is yours to tell. And not every story needs to be told. Be the kind of person people can trust with something private. In a drama-obsessed culture, discretion has real power.

Having parents that don't judge you when you make mistakes is a huge blessing. One of the best in the world.

You can rebuild anything today. You just have to be willing to start.

If you don't know what you want, you'll chase just about anything.

Kill your ego and start something today. You're nobody. So no one cares. Post that scrappy project. Post that long writing you don't think is any good. You'll thank yourself a year from now.

After publishing 400+ essays, I've finally understood one thing: it's a numbers game, you can't tell which will touch people more. But best believe it's not the one you think.

DON'T. GET. INTO. HUGE. DEBT.
8 things I know at 40 that I wish I knew at 30: 1. Don’t get into huge debt 2. Always be family first 3. Invest in assets not luxury cr*p 4. Quit climbing the corporate ladder to nowhere 5. Stop commuting to an adult daycare center to be told what to do 6. Have multiple income streams 7. Walk 10,000 steps a day in nature 8. Don’t get into huge debt

You can't build authority by talking about a problem. You build it by solving a problem, then talking about it.

Much of discipline boils down to refusing anything that's not what you want.

No one converts because of a feature list. They convert because your profile made them think "this person actually knows what they're doing." That's authority.

I'm glad you added they had to learn from experience. Some problems are too much of a headache to bother solving, or getting involved with in the first place.
One very important thing that even the smartest people seem to have to learn from experience is taste in problems. There are juicy problems that tend to lead to interesting discoveries, and nasty problems that tend not to.

There's no option after all. Whether it works out or not is a win. And that's better than where you are at now.
You don’t need to know it’s going to work to start, you just need to know it’s going to work better than doing nothing.

One of the saddest things is realizing you aren't putting in enough work for the size of your goals.

Nothing about successful is unique. Sure they might be obsess about solving a problem. But the one defining quality is simply starting and refusing to stop.
My entire life changed when I realized that the people I admired were just the ones who had the courage to start. The ones who didn't overthink it. Who put their ego aside. Who walked toward uncertainty. Who kept showing up. The answer is found in the action.

I only have rule: don't complain around me. No matter what happens. Don't complain.
