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.
