i’m honest that I think a lot of motivational contents is hokey, but if it hits the right person at the right time it can make a big difference in their life.

I will continue to put out this inspirational, motivational, and educational content as long as I possibly can just to actually resonate with the one person that needs it.

Remember you can either play up the magnitude, or quality, or you can focus on frequency. If you’re trying to have an impact it’s both of those that actually matter.

Consistency will almost always outperform magnitude over the long run.

The natural state most is chaotic and messy.

Don’t expect anything to go in a straight path, and come easy at the beginning. All of what we actually do it’s a growth process, or we have to learn the steps as we go.

Few things come easy, and most of the things that we do are not inherited. They require a lot of trial and error, and social interaction. As a consequence, you have to remember that will take you a long time to do anything that you will be proud of.

Remember that there are limits to what you can possibly do. However, you have to reflect on where you are right now and focus on building on what you already have.

Fixating on somebody or some thing that has a lot more than you and as I had a different position than you doesn’t solve your problem. You need to work on where you are.

Think it’s important to remember that to get your point across you have to focus on making your writing more dense. The goal is to be a straightforward as possible. Saying the same thing and fewer morons is almost always better.

It’s important to focus on the positive aspects of the work that you’re doing. Also remember to try to make it a fun experience by thinking about how you can be more social.

One of the key lessons Apple learned is that adversity is actually the key. You have to keep remembering to build overtime. it has little to do with what you are given, and more to do with the slow grind.

I remind you that you have unbelievable opportunities, but how you get there is by executing on what you wanna do in the future repeatedly.

It never happens overnight, and each step feels small.

I talk about the pros and cons of labeling in science. It’s important to label because then you understand how the thing that you’re looking at has pros and cons.

However, the challenge is that labeling creates opportunities to stigmatize specific groups and identify those groups as problematic.

We need to be careful when we label but realize that labeling is an important part to develop new knowledge.

You have to practice being yourself, and making time for yourself. It’s a Learnt scale and it requires constant effort just like any other confidence in your life.
