100. Focused more on
playing...
many many games
Saturday, July 14, 12
101. And less on
thinking...
(what are you thinking about?
you just started learning! play more games!)
Saturday, July 14, 12
102. They didn’t care about being
original and were willing to
imitate better players
(imitation is a very effective way to learn!)
Saturday, July 14, 12
103. And they played many more
games, because losing was ok
for them
Saturday, July 14, 12
107. That thought about their
FIRST MOVE in their FIRST
GAME for TWO MINUTES
That’s like a lot of the people I talk to,
who want to figure out what to do with
their life, without doing anything.
Iteration is key!
Saturday, July 14, 12
156. seem merely like minor
distractions required to
accomplish a larger plan.
Saturday, July 14, 12
157. That plan is for you - not
for sharing with others.
Saturday, July 14, 12
158. If you told others, and they
didn’t think you are crazy, it’s
probably not ambitious enough!
Saturday, July 14, 12
159. What it is important for, is that you
move towards something, and don’t
just frantically jump between all
interesting fields.
Saturday, July 14, 12
160. Having and impact might even
require years of studying or working
on someone else's project to learn.
Saturday, July 14, 12
162. You can take an entirely
different approach too
Saturday, July 14, 12
163. I don’t know what
I’m doing myself.
Saturday, July 14, 12
164. We all look towards others to
reassure us that what we’re
doing is right.
Saturday, July 14, 12
165. But since everyone else does
the same, there are no real
answers.
Saturday, July 14, 12
166. I’m not trying to put you down or build
you up - I just want to share my belief
that I think impact matters more than
impressions.
Saturday, July 14, 12
167. Unlike most of you I probably
would have never made it into
the 20-under-20 or even here
Saturday, July 14, 12
168. When I was fourteen, my parents
talked me out of going to a technical
school because they didn’t think I had
what it takes
Saturday, July 14, 12
169. I didn’t win any awards, nor
scholarships. I dropped out of school
before it was cool. And I haven’t had a
huge impact yet.
Saturday, July 14, 12
170. I have had days where people thought
I’m brilliant, and days where people
thought I’m an idiot. And it’s all the
same. That’s just the candy.
Saturday, July 14, 12
171. What matters to me is: Just like Nell, I work my
ass off every day, I try to measure my progress,
I try not to worry what people think about me
too much, and one day I WILL have an impact.
