Make more decisions. That's the only way to get better at it.

We live in a vague world. And it gets vaguer all the time. In this environment, the power of the specific, measurable and useful promise made and kept is difficult to overstate.

If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find someone cheaper than you to do it. And yet our schools are churning out kids who are stuck looking for jobs where the boss tells them exactly what to do.

The fatigue was there, but some people understood that putting it aside was the single most important factor in succeeding.

As soon as you are willing to say 'it's not for you', you're freed up to make art.

Everyone we interact with is changed forever. The only questions are: How will they be different (and how different will they be), and how will we be different (and how different will we be) as a result?

Competence is no longer scarce.
