There are only ten days left in 2021.

Did you learn anything new?

Here are six of the biggest lessons I've learned this year from @jockowillink, @TomBilyeu, @ScottAdamsSays, @naval, @nntaleb, and @jaltucher.

Let's get into it 🧵
1/ Say good when things are bad

This one I learned from @jockowillink.

You will face failures, setbacks, and defeats 100x over.

When that happens, say "Good".

This is your opportunity to figure out a solution.

And it doesn't matter if you don't know the answer, because...
2/ You can learn new skills at any time in any area.

This one I learned from @TomBilyeu.

No matter what you're capable of right now, believe you can learn and improve.

It's the only belief that matters.

No need to be the best in the thing you're learning, because...
3/ Being good at multiple things is better than being excellent at one.

This one I learned from @ScottAdamsSays.

Every new skill you acquire will double your chances at success.

Stack your talents, because good + good > excellent.

And when you've got this down you can...
4/ Keep redefining what you do

This one I learned from @naval.

Change, combine, and remix your skills until you are the best in the world at that combination.

Opportunities will start coming your way, sometimes too many.

Be quick to say no, and remember this next principle...
5/ Via negativa

This one I learned from @nntaleb.

Success happens through subtraction.

You won't know what the right opportunity is for you, but you know what the wrong ones are.

Subtract what doesn't won't work for you, and say no often

People may get mad, but you must...
6/ Choose yourself

This one I learned from @jaltucher.

When it comes to YOUR goals, YOUR plans, YOUR desires — you can’t rely on anyone else except YOU to make them happen.

Choose your damn self.

Because no one else will.
Follow me, @DataScienceHarp.

I'm the guy that learn, does, writes, teaches, and repeats.

You'll see my biggest takeaways from what I'm reading, researching, or doing.

Remember: You've got one life on this planet, why not try to do something big?
