IDEA

KNOW THIS


I saw this on quora as an answer to a question, you need to see it;

There are very few real opportunities in life. Charlie Munger only met one Warren Buffett in his life. Dr. Nakamatsu has 4000 inventions but for all I know, he only made money on the floppy disk.

Mark Zuckerberg only had a very small window to create the greatest Stalking Machine of mankind.

There's only one TWO STEP METHOD:

A) write down ideas every day. You and I, we've been through this.

B) seek out high-stakes moments.

You do "A" so that WHEN "B" happens, you know what to do.

If a lion jumps out at you, you're dead unless you've spent a lot of time running in your life. That's an "A" and then there's a "B" (running). There's no C. "C" is life or death. Choose life.

HOW TO CREATE A HIGH STAKES MOMENT. I certainly don't recommend drowning yourself (sounds too much like auto-erotic asphyxiation). Or taking out an eye. (what if you also lose the other?).

But here's some simple ways to create moments that feel high-stakes. If you can taste the fear, trust The Force, feel the egg inside your chest, ready to crack and give birth, then you have a taste.
