Hey all, Sorry - We're two days late. It’s June already 👀 crazy how time flies in a bear market (not).
Haha in all seriousness, I think this is our best edition of three things yet. Have fun reading!
Here are the 3 things for May 2022:
#1 - Wisdom is Knowing How Little You Know
Super good! Often times, the people who are curious about everything and not afraid to ask questions become the deepest wells of knowledge in every room. They are hyperaware of what they do not know, and because of this, they act on every opportunity to know more.
Imagine being a person who thinks they know everything - every chance to learn gets wasted due to their own ignorance. Sad. Socrates says, “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
This leads us to #2 & 3 because wisdom without action means nothing!
#2 - Just Get Started!
The hardest part of creating something is actually getting started. When you have an idea, all it is is an idea. And until acted and executed, it will stay an idea.
Taking the dive and committing to something fully allows you to gain the most out of an idea even if it fails. Don’t be afraid of failure but also don’t be afraid of the work. Take the first step and dive in. Many times, the worst case scenario is that you learn a lot.
#3 - Experimenters > Experts
This is hard. A lot of the time, we think we’re knowledgeable or well-versed in a certain area. The hard part is having the humility to know that 1) you know very little in the big scheme of things and 2) things are always changing. All the experts in any field are just people who studied what the experimenters achieved.
Once we can grasp and accept this, we’re able to experiment more and fail forward faster.
As I write this, these 3 things this month all related to each other to a point where it could have been 1 BIG thing. So… you’re welcome/I’m sorry.
