Kevin Kelly, adding 101 new bits to his growing collection of pithy advice. A few of my favorites:
- Forget trying to decide what your life’s destiny is. That’s too grand. Instead, just figure out what you should do in the next 2 years.
- Try to define yourself by what you love and embrace, rather than what you hate and refuse.
- Read a lot of history so you can understand how weird the past was; that way you will be comfortable with how weird the future will be.
- There should be at least one thing in your life you enjoy despite being no good at it. This is your play time, which will keep you young. Never apologize for it.
- The patience you need for big things, is developed by your patience with the little things.
- There is a profound difference between thinking less of yourself (not useful), and thinking of yourself less (better).
Avoid making any kind of important decision when you are either hungry, angry, lonely, or tired (HALT)
