Steve Jobs: The doers are the major thinkers.
“The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win. Everyone wants to win but not everyone wants to prepare to win.”
― Coach Bobby Knight
What is the best book you’ve read in 2026 so far?
Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:
“Do not disturb yourself by imagining your whole life at once.”
Effort creates action. Action creates results. Always remember that.
When I go to a cafe, I try to find a corner. Get a black coffee, put my phone in my bag, sit down and read my book.
“The purpose of knowledge is action, not knowledge.”
— Aristotle
I’m in love with this sentence:
“There is no secret trick. You have to feel the discomfort and still move forward.”
Vincent Van Gogh on starting small:
Keep showing up. Effort never betrays you.
“Hesitation is fatal; once an action is begun, it must be followed through with the utmost exertion of the will.” — Napoleon
James Clear said it right:
“The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.”
The book. The lesson.
A big part of growing up is not learning but unlearning and relearning.
A reminder from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson:
“Growth is an endlessly iterative process. When we learn something new, we don't go from "wrong" to "right." Rather, we go from wrong to slightly less wrong. And when we learn something additional, we go from slightly less wrong to slightly less wrong than that, and then to even less wrong than that, and so on. We are always in the process of approaching truth and perfection without actually ever reaching truth or perfection. We shouldn't seek to find the ultimate "right" answer for ourselves, but rather, we should seek to chip away at the ways that we're wrong today so that we can be a little less wrong tomorrow.”
