3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
“A critical quality to develop in life is the willingness to try. You simply must find enough confidence to give it a go. The human mind is fabulous at learning. You will get better at whatever you practice. But before you can develop the skill to succeed, you must find the courage to attempt.”
II.
“Grow fast, built to crash.
Grow slow, built to last.”
III.
“When you think you are too old to do something new remember you will never be younger than you are right now.”
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I.
Entrepreneur and author Derek Sivers on the value of mastering something:
“Mastery is the best goal because the rich can't buy it, the impatient can't rush it, the privileged can't inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status.”

II.
Poet Elisabeth Elliot on courage:
“Sometimes fear does not subside and one must choose to do it afraid.”
