Doug’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Crossroads of Twilight (The Wheel of Time, #10)

Crossroads of Twilight (The Wheel of Time, #10) by Robert Jordan

92 highlights

Confidence was one key to victory. The other side believing you were confident was sometimes almost as good as actually being confident.

See Doug Lautzenheiser’s 384 books with notes and highlights…

“Every university believes in “excellence,” and hundred-page course catalogs arranged alphabetically according to arbitrary departments of knowledge seem designed to reassure you that “it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you do it well.” That is completely false. It does matter what you do. You should focus relentlessly on something you’re good at doing, but before that you must think hard about whether it will be valuable in the future.”
― Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

“A startup is the largest endeavor over which you can have definite mastery. You can have agency not just over your own life, but over a small and important part of the world. It begins by rejecting the unjust tyranny of Chance. You are not a lottery ticket.”
― Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
