A few quick thoughts, learnings and hard truths:

  1. Regular good night sleep is the ultimate productivity hack.

  2. Hard work doesn’t pay well.

  3. Doing 1% extra will put you in front of 99% of people.

  4. Happiness isn’t an end goal. It’s a work in progress till death.

  5. Don’t give unsolicited advice. Sometimes people just want to vent.

  6. Taking yourself too seriously will make it easy for people to hurt you with their words and judgement.

  7. You can admire someone but not want to be like them.

  8. Get used to being cringe and nothing new will scare you.

  9. The best people to teach beginners are other beginners.

  10. Some of the most ambitious people are not only driving toward a goal, they’re also trying to get away from something that scares them.

  11. Most people will never become entrepreneurs/creators because they’re never willing to do the dirty work.
