Last week, I summarised this excellent book by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler
Read my summary here if you have 5 minutes now
In fact, I'm re-reading the book more carefully, cos it’s not a book to read once, to distil the concrete ideas that I can implement moving forward in my endeavours. Watch out for me soon! Hahaha!
Today, enjoy Peter’s 28 Laws below:
Which of these speak more to you?
The Creed of the Persistent and Passionate Mind
1. If anything can go wrong, fix it (To hell with Murphy’s law)
2. When given a choice─take both!
3. Multiple projects lead to multiple successes
4. Start at the top, then walk your way up
5. Do it by the book… but be the author!
6. When forced to compromise, ask for more
7. If you can’t win, change the rules
8. If you can’t change the rules, then ignore them
9. Perfection is not optional
10. When faced without a challenge─make one
11. ‘No’ simply means begin one level higher
12. Don’t walk when you can run
13. When in doubt: THINK!
14. Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a blessing
15. The squeaky wheel gets replaced
16. The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live
17. The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself
18. The ratio of something to nothing is infinite
19. You get what you incentivise
20. If you think it is impossible, then it is for you
21. An expert is someone who can tell you exactly how something can’t be done
22. The day before something is a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea
23. If it was easy, it would have been done already
24. Without a target you’ll miss it every time
25. Fail early, fail often, fail forward
26. If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it
27. The world’s most precious resource is the persistent and passionate human mind
28. Bureaucracy is an obstacle to be conquered with persistence, confidence, and a bulldozer when necessary
Again, which of these speak more to you?
