Tiny Thoughts
*
The truth is whispered while the opinions are shouted.
**
The world's greatest works weren't commissioned; they were created by people who couldn't bear their absence.
***
Going all in on something for a month gets better results than dabbling in it for a decade.
The dabbler spreads their energy over many things. The focused person concentrates their effort on one.
The most dangerous competitor is the one with a single goal.

C.S. Lewis on the value of starting where you are:
“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

Derek Sivers on what money can't buy:
“Mastery is the best goal because the rich can’t buy it, the impatient can’t rush it, the privileged can’t inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status.”

Paul Graham on how writing helps you discover new ideas:
“A good writer doesn’t just think, and then write down what he thought, as a sort of transcript. A good writer will almost always discover new things in the process of writing.”
