3 Ideas From Me
I.
"To learn, wander. To achieve, focus."
II.
"The amateur does not know what to do.
The master knows what not to do."
III.
"It is nearly impossible to have your best idea the first time you think about something.
The most likely way to uncover important insights is to frequently revisit a problem. The longer you're in the game, the more ideas bubble up to the surface.
Time unlocks insights."

2 Quotes From Others
I.
The poet Jules Laforgue on how time shapes regret:
"How picturesque do those trains later seem to us that we failed to catch."
Source: Ô géraniums diaphanes. The original French poem reads, "Oh, qu'ils sont pittoresques, les trains manqués."
II.
Lao Tzu, the ancient Chinese philosopher, on the overlap between respect and self-alignment:
"When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you."
Source: Paraphrased from the Tao Te Ching. The original translation reads closer to something like, "Because he doesn't compare himself with others, no one can compare with him."
