Lessons for the Ambitious

A few random thoughts about the journey of the ambitious:

1. You're going to lose way more than you win.

You’re going to fuck up way more than you do right.

If you make a legitimate effort to improve and keep going, things will work out.

2. Surround yourself with smarter people than you, as fast as possible.

3. When you fuck up… do your best to make it right.

4. When things are good try to remember that you don't know that much and you aren't that good.

5. When things are bad, remember that people have gone through much harder circumstances than you are currently facing and still won big in life.

6. It's a duty to keep going and build a good life because others will win or lose in life from the example you set.

7. Apologize when you're wrong.

8. The less skill you have, the tougher you have to be.

9. Nobody has it figured out … especially the people who pretend to.

10. Keep going. It's worth it.
