3-2-1: A better measure of success, creating change, and resilience
3-2-1: A better measure of success, creating change, and resilience
Happy 3-2-1 Thursday!
Just a quick note before we begin:
Atomic Habits is currently on sale for the lowest price I've seen: 56% off in the US and heavily discounted in the UK and in Australia as well.
If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a copy — or perhaps picking up a few copies as holiday gifts — then now is a good time to do it.
And now, on to the main event...
Here are 3 ideas, 2 quotes, and 1 question to consider this week.
3 Ideas From Me
I.
"Your calendar is a better measure of success than your bank account."
II.
"If you want to create something but feel it has already been done 1000 times, remember: There is always room for quality."
III.
"Deconstruct the cool things you see.
If you'd like to become a better musician and you see an amazing performance, start paying attention to how they do it. How did they promote the event? What happens in the first ten seconds of each song? How frequently are they engaging directly with the audience? Is there a progression of energy throughout the show?
When something fascinates you, pay attention to the details. The person who thinks, "That was cool" is a consumer. The person who thinks, "How did they make something that cool?" is on the path to being a creator.
Don't just taste the recipe, look for the ingredients."
2 Quotes From Others
I.
Philosopher and author Albert Camus on resilience:
"In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
Source: Lyrical and Critical Essays
II.
Architect, writer, and inventor Buckminster Fuller on creating change:
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
Source: As quoted in Beyond Civilization: Humanity's Next Great Adventure
