As a writer you know you don't have to deal with a lot of the crap that most people deal with, the political things. Every couple of years when your book comes out then you have to go into these fights with the publisher and the publicist and that's it.

If you are interested in a form of science or interested in a particular kind of business or whatever - or if you want to be a writer, there's so much information out there, it's almost too much.

For the future, the motto is, "No days unalert."

You could have a lot of money at your fingertips, the finest education and intellectual knowledge, but if you are governed by fear none of that will matter. You will remain tied to dead ideas and stale strategies. You will not be able to adapt. You will lose what you have.

You are facing death and danger and competition, but at any moment, you can decide to have a fearless mindset.

The information walls are completely crumbling.

You must bear in mind that each law is circumstantial. It does depend on the circumstances.
