In the wild, wild web era, where every book and all knowledge ever penned down is just a click away, we find ourselves at the crossroads of comfort and action.
It’s easy to get comfortable, to coast, to stick to last year's playbook. (It worked, for goodness’ sake.)
The tougher route?
Questioning everything, walking in dumb each day and facing the blank page like a champ.
Meet two cool Chinese characters—改 (kai) for 'change' and 善 (zen) for 'goodness'—mash them up, and boom, you've got 'continuous improvement.'
It's like getting 1 per cent better.
Consistently.
Forever.
Kaizen, baby.
Charlie Munger is typing now:
"I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you."
That's a Charlie Munger drop the mic moment right there.
Learning resources are everywhere; what's rare is the motivation to learn.
In the marathon of life, success isn't reserved for the smartest or most diligent; it belongs to the perpetual learners.
You don’t need to be Einstein 2.0 or pull all-nighters.
Just be a learning machine.
Learn a bit every day, and watch it add up in the long run.
That’s how you outsmart the pack and become remarkable.
The day you wake up and you no longer want to improve the thing you do, stop.
Not only for your sake, but for the sake of everybody else.
Don't fall for the sunk cost trap—15 years deep doesn't mean 15 more.
Be bold, write a new chapter, and chase something that keeps your improvement fire burning.
If you never get bored of learning, you'll never get tired of living.
One life.
One shot.
改善.
PS. Do you struggle to set yourself apart from your competitors? Does your tone of voice lack a little personality? Either way, get in touch and I’ll help you become remarkable. Or get more communication advice that doesn't suck here.
