A beginner’s mind + an expert’s grind.

Potent combination.

Reading is not a chore.

Reading is theft. It is a robbery.

Someone smarter than you has spent 20 years beating their head against the wall trying to solve the problem you're dealing with.

You can steal that hard won knowledge and make it yours.

That is power.

Don't talk unless you know what you are talking about.

Simple rule.
