Distrust the impulse to have an opinion about everything.

We rarely appreciate all that our enemies do for us. They test us and make us stronger. They exploit our flaws, motivating us to correct them. They show us what we do not wish to become. So many memorable lessons. What fine teachers our enemies are.

Most people are good when they are among the good. Observe them in the company of scoundrels and you will find out if they are moral or merely conformist.

I think this is a great tribute to the genius of Hemingway.

YouTube is full of teachers who will happily repeat themselves until you get it. A rewindable instructor has infinite patience. One of the great resources of our time.

Rage makes us stupid and fools us into thinking that our stupidity will somehow “show them.”

A good idea is a bad idea + a day of rethinking it. Good writing is bad writing + a day of revision. Quality is a process.

Valuable information is increasingly free. The focus to learn and apply it is increasingly rare.

The ignorant can be instructed. It is the incurious who are in trouble.

and the internet allows people to SEE what others are saying about them (or not saying) at anytime. An approximate measurement of social standing is always visible. Some people are oblivious or unbothered, but I think they’re in the minority, especially among the young.

I could be wrong, but many high-profile crack ups seem to result from stress of feeling judged by the public 24/7. Particularly in image-conscious domains, actors, pop stars, etc. I think people worry a lot about the opinions of others. Friends/family are hard enough. The world?

Many people are anxious and inhibited because they walk around with a comment section in their heads. Famous people are often driven insane by the sense that they can’t possibly manage the opinions of so many. Social media gives “normal people” this feeling as well.

Pause and ask yourself: “Does this really need a response?” Little annoyances come and go. The irritation fades quickly if it is not indulged.

Don't expect insecure people to forgive you for your successes.

We instinctively try to rise to the level of the room we’re in. We grow quickly when we put ourselves in a room where the expectations have a high floor and a high ceiling.

If you can enjoy a laugh at your own expense you are sure to find humor in each day.

Creative work often requires the creation of a problem to fix. This is why writers emphasize the liberation of messy first drafts. Our problem-solving skills are activated by the obvious flaws and solutions leap suddenly to mind. The results may look like pure inspiration.

Meet bad fortune without self-pity and good fortune without foolish excess.
