I used to think innovation was the only way to riches.
Because 99% of the news is about innovators.
But then I realized 90% of the rich people do the boring stuff that keeps society running.
You don't need to innovate to get wealthy.

I used to be quite anxious in social situations until I learned:
Our egos make us feel like everybody's watching us.
But the truth is they're all busy thinking that everyone is watching them.

I got into writing because it's the best tool for sharpening your thinking and because it doesn't rely on charisma.
But between writing and speaking, writing is the foundational skill.
It makes you articulate.
