Character over talent/intelligence

Master one field deeply. Don't aim for breadth.

Find out what you're obsessively curious about, then go all-in

Lead your life through continuous progress, not achievement

Exponential growth doesn't exist, aim for consistency

The most powerful skill is intense focus & stamina (12-16 hr workdays)

Create things of enduring value over fleeting success
