The Best Minute: On consistency, good choices, and fewer regrets
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I. Steven Pressfield on the importance of consistency:
“Someone once asked [famous author] Somerset Maugham if he wrote on a schedule or only when struck by inspiration. ‘I write only when inspiration strikes,” he replied. “Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o’clock sharp.’ That's a pro.”
II. Jerzy Gegorek on making good choices:
Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.
2 IDEAS FROM ME
I. Living life with fewer regrets means having the courage in the moment to do what you wished you have done after the fact. It’s easy to say “I would have done X if I could do it all over again” because you know you won’t have the opportunity to prove it. Prove it to yourself today and live with fewer regrets tomorrow.
II. Everyone gains experience, but not everyone has wisdom.
Experience is free, all you have to do is live. Wisdom is determined by how well you adjust due to your experiences. Wise people learn from their experiences, non-wise people stay the same.
1 RANDOM FACT
Bananas can’t reproduce.
The Cavendish banana, the most popular variety of bananas eaten in the world, is impotent. It's a seedless hybrid of two plant species. To create new bananas, the Cavendish doesn't naturally reproduce but requires farmers to remove and transplant part of the plant's stem and re-plant it.
