“What's obvious to you can be amazing to others.”
Ali Abdaal

“Next time you’re feeling like a task or project is particularly difficult, ask yourself, ‘What would it look like if I were really confident at this?’ Just by asking yourself the question, you’ll visualise yourself confidently approaching the task at hand. The switch has been flipped.”
Ali Abdaal, Feel-Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You

“Shoshin refers to a state of mind in which we approach every task and situation with the curiosity, openness and humility of a beginner.”
Ali Abdaal, Feel-Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You

“Realize that in modern society, the downside risk is not that large. Even personal bankruptcy can wipe the debts clean in good ecosystems. I’m most familiar with Silicon Valley, but generally, people will forgive failures as long as you were honest and made a high-integrity effort. There’s not really that much to fear in terms of failure, and so people should take on a lot more accountability than they do. [78]”
Eric Jorgenson, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness

“The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. —Steve Jobs”
Clayton M. Christensen, How Will You Measure Your Life?

“The trouble with being in the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat. — Lily Tomlin”
Amy McMillen, Reclaiming Control: Looking Inward to Recalibrate Your Life

“Subject is deeper than topic. It's not "what it's about," it's what it's really about.”
Steven Pressfield, The Artist's Journey: The Wake of the Hero's Journey and the Lifelong Pursuit of Meaning
