1/ The benefits of writing down your ideas is one of the topics I discussed with Patrick OShaughnessy's father in our recent Infinite Loops conversation. I also argued putting your ideas "out there" in public is an act of bravery. investorfieldguide.com/hinkie/

2/ "If you can't write it down, you haven't thought it through" Buffett has said. The writing process exposes the missing or broken elements of your ideas. It forces you to think things through. The next step is to put it out in public. That potentially exposes writing to fire.
3/ When you publish your writing, you're basically putting your emotions and your heart out there. You are saying, "This is me." Anyone can attack it. And people, lots of people, do. Any public act of creation, like writing a book or starting a business, is an act of bravery.
4/ "Be brave. Be audacious and put your ideas in writing. Dialogue going back and forth is wonderful because you learn. If someone says, "Well what about this?" You probably weren't clear in explaining it. There's a hole in your thought. Writing is cathartic. Writing is art."
5/ Some people don't write. Their creative outlet is starting a business or painting. Others are more talkers than writers. That's all good. But if you want to temper your ideas in a forge to make them strong an act of bravely pays dividends since you're drenched with feedback.
6/ Making mistakes is how you learn. Be brave.
As you get older, there are some lousy things can appear in your life. Back pain is just one example. One of the best things about being older is that its far easier not to care about what other people think. I don't give a shit.
