“How do you become more productive?”

Richard Branson leaned back and thought for a second. The tropical sounds of his private oasis, Necker Island, murmured in the background. Twenty people sat around him at rapt attention, wondering what a billionaire’s answer would be to one of the big questions—perhaps the biggest question—of business.

Then he broke the silence: “Work out.”

He was serious and elaborated: working out gave him at least four additional hours of productive time every day.

stop mindlessly consuming information and calling it 'learning'. it's not learning. it's glorified entertainment. real learning is discovering a new idea. questioning it. testing it. refining it. practising it. making it your own and implementing it. anything else is pointless.

Change starts with self-awareness and ends with action.

In the past, jobs were about muscles. Now they’re about brains, but in the future, they’ll be about the heart

There's a Japanese legend that says:

"If you feel like you're losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come."

You know things will always work out for you, even if it doesn’t appear so at the time in hindsight many lessons plant seeds for future blessings — the art of unwavering faith.

We are the result of so many influences, so many pressures, known and unknown. This is why it is very important to understand these pressures and influences, and be dissociated from them all

@ebookscafe

I see them there, the person I could become

But reaching them means leaving who I am behind.

Peace.

Some see chaos,
Other's see opportunity

Most time is wasted, because it’s spent in anticipation of something in the future, rather than for the thing at hand

Lately, I’ve been thinking about fear. Not the kind that keeps you from danger, but the kind that shows up right before you make something new. That hesitation. The doubt. The feeling that maybe this time, you won’t pull it off.

That fear never really goes away. You don’t outgrow it. You learn to carry it. Creativity isn’t about waiting until you feel fearless, it’s about making something despite the fear. And then doing it again. And again. And again.

The most dangerous competitor isn’t the industry giant but the founder who’s solving the same problem for deeply personal reasons.

The strongest force isn’t effort. It’s gravity.
Build pull, not push.
