Life Lessons – v 31.0 ( Part 2)
5. The largest thing between you and what you want is whatever glob of excuses you can pile up. Try this, you can actually get away by doing nothing and talking shit
6. Very few decisions in life require intense research. 90% of research/data-gathering is a waste of time. I’ve found this true in my personal life and I’ve certainly found it true at work. Nearly without exception, I over analyze every decision I make. Stop talking… stop thinking… stop planning… start doing.
7. The majority of people think they are above average. I constantly remind myself of this fact. By nature, we tend to over estimate our own skills and/or contributions. Not only that, but we are much less aware of what other people contribute. I do it and you do it, too. So recognize it. Go out of your way to thank people for the things you do notice.
8. People automatically devalue anything they get for free. While we are on the topic, be careful about what you give away for free. This can be applied beyond work, too. Family, friends, clients, colleagues… We automatically place more value on things we have to pay (money, time, effort, energy) for. Give someone something for free consistently and they quickly begin to expect it.
