Some of My Highlights:
“The only thing that matters is that you keep going.”
“Constantly trimming away inefficiencies in the way you work is a powerful tool. What’s even more powerful is that very few people have the discipline to do it.”
“I just dispassionately went through each step of the experimental method.”
“Second, I started constantly reminding myself that I was working on an experiment. If it failed, that didn’t make me a failure, it made the experiment a failure.”
“It allowed me to look at successful people, not with envy, but with an understanding that they were telling me a highly edited version of their story for both our goods.”
