“Actual insights, or intelligent or original thoughts, combined with repetition builds credibility.”
“The most rewarding part of being an entrepreneur is getting to wear your pajamas to work and take a day off whenever you need it. The most frustrating part is taking 100% of the risk, so when there is a problem, it’s completely on you to solve it.”
“Quitting can be courageous and “not being a quitter” can be cowardly. There’s no shame in giving up on something if it isn’t serving you anymore.”
“If you want to learn something, you can probably do it for free using Google. The world’s information is literally at our fingertips for the first time in human history.”
“To achieve financial success, figure out what you’re best at, put a business model around it, and do it for a long time.”
“0utsmarting Google is not a matter of being a mathematical genius like many of the people they employ. It’s a matter of looking at Google’s intentions as a search engine, studying the accepted rules of SEO (search engine optimization), and then patiently trying every method that comports with and breaks each of those rules until you’ve brewed the perfect concoction.”
“The most interesting people I know all have one thing in common – they think about things. While thinking may not sound like a special activity, very few people use their minds actively; instead, they go through life making passive associations, allowing whatever words or images float to the forefront of their minds to convey their thoughts.”
“The reason why popular culture has such a druglike effect on people is because it baits viewers with flashiness, action, and excitement on a level that could never exist in real life; then, when the viewer has become transfixed, it transmits opinions that slowly and over time substitute for the viewers’ actual thoughts.”
“Do not try to be unique for the sake of other people; be unique because you can’t help it.”
“The only healthy way to deal with the less-desirable parts of our lives is to acknowledge their right to exist and hear them out.”
“Don’t do to yourself what millions of others have done, which has caused all manner of depression and pain in the world: Don’t hide your feelings from yourself. After all, nobody likes to be constipated.”
“Credibility is in the eye of the beholder … I think credibility often comes down to people getting a repetition of either your face or your name or something like that. If they see you talking a lot then you become more credible, which doesn’t make logical sense, but it is a truth of marketing.”
“The goal is creating the best piece of content on the internet for a keyword that would drive revenue — ultimately, that would bring a prospective customer. If you’re going to do that, you can’t really have a generalist.”
“We all wonder sometimes about the purpose of life; often, we do so because we are searching for a way to justify death. And yet, the only way to understand death is to fully experience our everyday lives. Living life consciously involves thoughtful observation – not just of the outside world, but of our inner life.”
“All of us are under some pressure to do what is right, whether from ourselves, our family, or society. We do our best to stick to the right side of things because we feel immoral doing otherwise. Yet most of the time, we accept this ambiguous word – “right” – simply because we haven’t really thought about it.”
