— Your best job will be one that you were unqualified for because it stretches you. In fact only apply to jobs you are unqualified for.

@Inkspirify


— When you get invited to do something in the future, ask yourself: Would I do this tomorrow? Not too many promises will pass that immediacy filter.

@Inkspirify


— How has being “realistic” or “responsible” kept you from the life you want?

— How has doing what you “should” resulted in subpar experiences or regret for not having done something else?

— Look at what you’re currently doing and ask yourself, “What would happen if I did the opposite of the people around me? What will I sacrifice if I continue on this track for 5, 10, or 20 years?”

@Inkspirify


— I learned that very often the most intolerant and narrow-minded people including me are the ones who congratulate themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness.

@Inkspirify


— Be bad, but at least don't be a liar, a deceiver! (Tolstoy)

@Inkspirify


— Want to boost your happiness? Invest in experiences, not just things—after all, memories can’t be taxed!

@Inkspirify


— “Plan as you go” to respond to the changing needs of your customers but launch your business as soon as possible, with a bias toward action.

@Inkspirify


— Independence, to me, doesn’t mean you’ll stop working. It means you only do the work you like with people you like at the times you want for as long as you want.

@Inkspirify


— How do you become a great hacker? I don't know if it's possible to make yourself into one. But it's certainly possible to do things that make you stupid, and if you can make yourself stupid, you can probably make yourself smart too.

@Inkspirify


— Keep two task lists. The first list is of every important thing you really should do while at your best. My distraction-free creative time is in the morning when I do most of my writing, editing or consulting, because it’s when I am reliably at my best. The second list is of all the important tasks which I can do equally well regardless of my mood. Whenever I get stuck in the morning or feel off, I simply take care of some of the important business which quickly puts me back into an uplifting and productive mood. Another trick my father taught me was to work in libraries because we humans are such social animals, it is really hard to be in the library and not try and work. Especially inside the research section but nowadays you can get a similar affect from coffee houses where all the hipsters congregate with their moleskin notebooks and mobile office in a backpack.

— Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. (Muhammad Ali)

@Inkspirify


— Who has the right answer, but I ignore because they’re inarticulate?

— And what do I believe isn't true but is actually just good marketing?

@Inkspirify


Decisions:

— If you can’t decide, the answer is no.

— If two equally difficult paths, choose the one more painful in the short term (pain avoidance is creating an illusion of equality).

— Choose the path that leaves you more equanimous in the long term.

@Inkspirify


— The best way, perhaps the only way, to change others is to become an example.

@Inkspirify


— Do you want to be more patient? Be more patient. Stop getting angry when things don’t go your way, listen when someone else is speaking, even if you don’t care for what they have to say. Decide who you want to be and start living as that person, right NOW.

@Inkspirify


— Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it. (MALCOLM X)

@Inkspirify


— When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.

@Inkspirify


— The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

@Inkspirify


— When you are distressed by an external thing, it’s not the thing itself that troubles you, but only your judgment of it. And you can wipe this out at a moment’s notice.

@Inkspirify


— Never allow myself to have an opinion on anything unless you know the other side’s argument better than they do.
