Success

Optimism isn't about being naive; it’s about being strategic. It's about making a conscious decision that you are always going to try to find the upside, instead of obsessing over the downside

Big trends involve big opportunities, but only come around so often. So why would you wait?

What's worse? Trying to do something and seeing it go wrong? Or thinking back years later, "I should have tried to do it!"

You should always know what you don't know, rather than focusing on what you do know.

The standard worldview is designed for stability, but the edge is designed for experimentation. If you wait for a trend to be "proven," you've already missed the window for a high-value pivot.

You need a “silent partner,” whether that is a person, a process, or a set of unwavering principles, that stays steady while everything else is in flux.
