“If you're not failing, you're not pushing your limits, and if you're not pushing your limits, you're not maximizing your potential.”

The problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion and have others listen to it.
The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but, crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense.
― Prof. Brian Cox

Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink said it right:
“Other than death, all defeats are psychological. Never give up.”

The fear of failure doesn't prevent failure. It guarantees it.

"We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome... We are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible.”

I’m in love with this sentence:
“Every pattern in your life repeats until you learn the lesson. The moment you choose differently, the loop ends and growth begins.”

Not sure who needs to hear this, but being everywhere isn't leadership.
It actually makes you the bottleneck.

To quote Fight Club again, “We buy things we don’t need, to impress people we don’t like."

"For me, if I don’t like a book, I’m not going to review it. I would never write a negative book review, because these people are my brothers and sisters."

Two thoughts from Josh Kaufman
"You can't make positive discoveries that make your life better if you never try anything new."

C.S. Lewis on friendship
ALT If, of three friends (A, B, and C), A should die, then B loses not only A but “A’s part in C”, while C loses not only A but “A’s part in B”. In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets. Now that Charles is dead, I shall never again see Ronald’s reaction to a specifically Caroline joke. Far from having more of Ronald, having him “to myself” now that Charles is away, I have less of Ronald. Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, “Here comes one who will augment our loves.” For in this love “to divide is not to take away”.

Robert Greene had it right:
“The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.”

After fridges became a common household appliance, the biggest benefactor was not the manufacturer companies.
It was actually Coca-Cola, who took advantage of the new technology to shift from local soda fountains to bottled and canned products
Suspect the same will be true for AI. Some of the biggest benefactors will be companies that look very obvious in hindsight, but no one is paying enough attention today

Tim Cook's take on why competitors can't copy Apple is sharper than most people realize.
They start by copying the product. Then they realize the product isn't the hard part.
Cook said it directly: people who try to copy Apple first try to copy what they can see. The hardware. The design. The packaging. And they can get close on all of it.
But the thing that made the product, the organizational culture, the decision-making, the obsessive prioritization, that's invisible from the outside. You can't find it in a teardown.
This is why Apple's moat has held for decades while better-funded competitors kept losing. Samsung had more SKUs. Google had more engineers. Amazon had more distribution. None of it translated into the same output because none of it replicated the same input.
The lesson for founders is uncomfortable: if your competitive advantage is visible in your product, it's already copyable. The real moat is the culture that makes the product, and that takes decades to build, not quarters.
Reverse-engineering the iPhone is an engineering problem. Reverse-engineering how Apple decides what to build is a different problem entirely.

Wonderful etymological #map of #Germany. Shows the original meaning of all major towns and regions. Lovely piece of work. Sadly only of interest for German speakers. Tag your German friends if you can't read the map :) Source: buff.ly/2C96GHK
