smart ideas from books (mostly)
The key for so many successful people I have found is to ship more projects.
My favorite example is how this worked for Picasso.
What if the key to all the success you ever wanted was shipping a project every month (and it takes 100 projects to get there)?
That’s over eight years of failure before something sticks!
Would you be willing to do it?
Would I?
Understand: Quantity > Quality

I can think of few other phrases that sum up the life of us little humans in a better way.
We are few in days – and those days are full of trouble.
I was reading this piece yesterday morning and the passage leapt off the page at me…
Not trying to complain…
I think I am simply going through a phase where everything feels hard.
Maybe we all are.
Gosh life is so short and beautiful, isn’t it?
Understand: Our days are determined – the good ones – and especially the hard ones.
âMan who is born of woman
Is of few days and full of trouble.
2 He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3 And do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And bring me to judgment with Yourself?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!
5 Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6 Look away from him that he may rest,
Till like a hired man he finishes his day.
-Job 14: 1-6
