There’s the perverse pleasure of “SHOWING THEM”. It comprises of two elements: -revealing the truth to someone -then GLOATING over it however If you truly want to “SHOW” them, literally — you must take them up. you can only show them what you see from the TOP of the mountain once you TOOK them …

Either Give Up Or Do Better
Either give up or do better. Never get used to failure. Never fail without good reason. Either give up already — or IMPROVE. It’s not “persistence” if you’re NOT improving. Either IMPROVE — or GIVE UP already. Even smallest improvement is a victory. But NOT improving is NOT acceptable. We have too many …
Daily Improvement Invariably Leads to Inner Change
I believe in TANGIBLY IMPROVING EVERY DAY. This is how I define success. This is how I define progress. I believe other measures are less reliable. The vital objection to this attitude is that GROWTH is not necessarily “DAILY”, and is not necessarily TANGIBLE, Growth is not linear. You can have a BIG DAY …
Commitment, Energy, Momentum, Resistance: how one moves
-Commitment is like a map, or like a plan, or like a guide. It’s the axis on which the momentum will be applied. -Momentum is like momentum — it’s the movement at certain velocity in certain direction — and the greater momentum the easier it is to sustain it and the harder it is to …

You’re Forgetting Too Much
I do believe that FORGETFULNESS is the obvious natural ABSORBING BARRIER It’s just that for absolute majority of people the primary hindrances, even before memory, is simply: -not doing enough (doing in general, and doing new things, iterating) -blindness: some inborn (biases), most learned (einstellung effect, ego, sunk cost, it’s a looooong fucking list) But …
Quality vs Utility
There’s quality, and there’s impact, utility. The two are rarely synonymous. Quality is more of an ideal, idea, concept, Doesn’t mean it’s abstract, it could be real, tangible, But it is not necessarily scalable, Therefore utility is limited Therefore it’s impact is limited It’s immediate impact is limited. It’s long term impact could …
Competition Is A Lie
Competition is a lie. Saying “I had competition” is identical to saying “it’s not my fault”. Which is identical to not taking responsibility. “Zero-sum-games” are a lie too. Games in which you gain at the expense of others are no games worth playing. Might as well not exist. Games in which there’s a hierarchy, …

Sometimes you eradicate the problem and sometimes you accept it. But a certain attitude must be arrived at Problem evokes motivation which results in pursuit of the solution. This motivation can come …
