Different is better when it is more effective or more fun.

Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.

There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.

I'm not a fan of idleness, except in small doses.

There is an infinite selection of things that I could test in life, so I generally will look for a critical mass of word that comes back to me. At this point I have hundreds of friends who are the best at what they do, arguably number one in the country or in the world. I will oftentimes just kind of throw a volley out to people, ask them what they're obsessing on or what they find interesting that's on the fringe. If the same answer comes back a few times, I'm like, "Okay."

The downstream effects are unknown. Do your best and hope for the best. If you're improving the world-however you define that-consider your job well done.

Resolve to do one thing every day that you fear.
