The Paradox of Focus:
Moving boldly in one direction not only increases your odds of getting there, but also increases your odds of picking up unexpected rewards along the way.
Make the most of one opportunity and more opportunities come your way. To get more, focus on less.

That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.

When you've learned to laugh at the things that should be laughed at, and not to laugh at those that shouldn't, you've got wisdom and understanding.

With him, life was routine; without him, life was unbearable.
If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.

There are 5 Types of Hard Work... and it helps to know that No. 4 & 5 work better in business than No. 1 & 2...
👉🏼 The First kind is “Labour” based. You put in more effort, more intensity, more hours, and more inputs to gain an output compared to others.
👉🏼 The Second kind is “Efficiency” based. With the same inputs as of the first... You stay more focused for longer, remove distractions, and find smarter ways to either get the same output with the same inputs, or reduce inputs to get the same output.
This is what the Industrial Revolution taught us, and most family businesses teach their next generation. It stems from the thought process of factories and delegation to cheap labour.
👉🏼 The Third kind is “Consistency” based. You do simple things for so long that it outlasts everyone else. It creates an unmatched compounding in your skills, your brand, your reputation and your heritage. You’ve increased the Duration.
This is my favourite and the most timeless, which should be used with all forms of hard work from 1 to 5. This is how brands are built, and compounding kicks into business results.
👉🏼 The Fourth kind is “Opportunity” based. You spot newer opportunities better than the competition and do it faster than others grab on to them.
This is when someone tries new things relentlessly, by learning new skills consistently, without letting failure beat them down.
👉🏼 The Fifth kind is “Leverage” based. You find a new technology or platform that creates huge leverage and propels you way ahead of others because you’re using a new tool that others haven’t adapted to.
Businesses are created by working hard on 4 and 5.
Unfortunately, most keep looking in 1 and 2.
Regardless of what you pick, don’t give up on the No. 3

Aldous Huxley on approaching life with lightness, even in the face of difficulty:
If you're young and ambitious, you have 2 career options:
1. Enter an old industry - Wait 20 years until experienced people retire.
2. Enter a new industry - Become an expert in 12 months.
The competitive advantage of being young is you're an internet native. Use it.

I began to realize that coming in such close contact with my own mortality had changed both nothing and everything. Before my cancer was diagnosed, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. After the diagnosis, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. But now I knew it acutely. The problem wasn’t really a scientific one. The fact of death is unsettling. Yet there is no other way to live.

I learned that it is important to be true to yourself. Many people do whatever society tells them to do. They’ve lost themselves. I grew up with Confucian values, and they are limiting. I focused only on work and making a living. But I’m old now. Remember not to lose who you are.
