- want wealth? make a startup!
- do great work summary:
- The Foundations:
- You need three things to do great work: natural aptitude, deep interest, and scope for great work
- Finding what to work on is challenging and often requires trying different things
- Develop a habit of working on your own projects rather than just following others' directions
- Follow your genuine curiosity and interests rather than external pressure
- The Process:
- Learn enough to reach the frontier of knowledge in your field
- Notice gaps and overlooked areas in existing knowledge
- Boldly explore promising gaps, especially those others ignore
- Work hard, but work on something you're deeply interested in
- The most powerful motivators are curiosity, delight, and desire to do something impressive
- Working Methods:
- Make successive versions rather than planning everything in advance
- Start small and evolve your work rather than trying to make something perfect immediately
- Use the advantages of youth (energy, time, optimism) when young and the advantages of age (knowledge, efficiency, money) when older
- Take appropriate risks - if you're not failing occasionally, you're being too conservative
- Protect and nurture your morale - it's fundamental to doing great work
- Find good colleagues - quality is more important than quantity
- Important Mindsets:
- Be earnest rather than affected or trying to seem impressive
- Stay curious - it's perhaps the most important quality for doing great work
- Don't worry about prestige - it's often a trailing indicator
- Be willing to work on unfashionable problems
- Questions are as important as answers - great work often comes from asking new questions
- Overcome the modesty and fear that prevent many from attempting great work
- The Foundations:
