Holding on to an old title gives you satisfaction without action. - Derek Sivers

The standard pace is for chumps. The system is designed so anyone can keep up. If you’re more driven than ‘just anyone’ — you can do so much more than anyone expects. And this applies to ALL of life — not just school.

You learn best from your mistakes.
This is true.
So you should deliberately make as many mistakes as possible.

When you say you want more freedom from the world, you may just need freedom from your past self.
You don’t see things as they are.
You see them as you are.
Change yourself and you change the world.
