Life changes in an instant.
Plans are static, life is dynamic.
This doesn’t mean that planning is a waste of time. Knowing where you want to go is an important compass but it’s not the map. The map is not the territory. Things change
Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable. -Dwight D. Eisenhower
We all have bad days. Sometimes life sucks no matter what you do for a living. We might as well do things we enjoy because disappointment, failure and grueling hard work is inevitable no matter what we choose to do.
You only succeed by going where nobody else is willing to go. You need to love what you do enough that you’re willing to go as far as it takes. Love is hard, sometimes boring — it takes work.
Blood, sweat and tears are all part of the package. Batteries not included.
Strengths, not weaknesses.
You are at work to serve, not to self-actualize.
Keep the long-term and big picture in mind. As they say in football, play for the name on the front and they’ll remember the name at the back.
Go further, together. The most successful people improve the lives of others without expectation of anything in return. Counter-intuitively, it is this selflessness that allows success to show up on their doorstep.
Consistency and small steps will always beat last-minute procrastination and burnout. Our #HUSTLE culture places too much emphasis on eye-catching power moves and not enough focus on the boring foundations of success.
How do you climb a mountain? One step at a time.
How do you build a relationship? One day at a time.
It’s the same with life.
The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.-Stephen McCranie
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. -Steve Jobs
This is actually a great must-read book.
The fact about no plan is a little bit vague. I believe for a successful job journey, you should have plans and get ready for it. So I think, by plan they meant, nothing will go as plan. There is always a degree of uncertainty in any decision making process in real world; some people call it luck. I believe, the harder you work, the luckier you get, to a extend that, for any achievable goal, you can work enough to the extend that the probability of loosing reacher zero!
