Kevin Kelly of and many is now 70 years old and has . Very high density of insightful wisdom per sentence, so I like to read a little bit each day and hopefully let it sink in. Here’s a small selection:
– Don’t ever work for someone you don’t want to become.
– The biggest lie we tell ourselves is “I don’t need to write this down because I will remember it.”
– Your growth as a conscious being is measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations you are willing to have.
– Habit is far more dependable than inspiration. Make progress by making habits. Don’t focus on getting into shape. Focus on becoming the kind of person who never misses a workout.
I missed last year’s version, so here are some from the :
– That thing that made you weird as a kid could make you great as an adult — if you don’t lose it.
– If someone is trying to convince you it’s not a pyramid scheme, it’s a pyramid scheme.
– Most overnight successes — in fact any significant successes — take at least 5 years. Budget your life accordingly.
– To be wealthy, accumulate all those things that money can’t buy.
– Children totally accept — and crave — family rules. “In our family we have a rule for X” is the only excuse a parent needs for setting a family policy. In fact, “I have a rule for X” is the only excuse you need for your own personal policies.
Too often, advice like this just goes over my head until I’ve already had to learn it the hard way first. Still, worth a try to gain some wisdom the easy way.
