Action & Learning

The most important thing in life can be summed up in just these two words.

Action - Take lots of action. Constantly. It means showing up and shipping out. 'just doing it' rather than overthinking, having analysis paralysis, doing wishful thinking etc. I am not saying one need to be rash in taking a decision and be mad about activity. Please think through a situation and then jump right in. You will be never more ready. It's about having a bias for action. Trying more improves the overall chances of success. It also improves our ability to take the next step. It's the opposite of over planning and believing that your first shot will hit the target. Even a lion has to run after 10 antelopes to get one (these are real stats). And lion is the king of the jungle. Perhaps we need to try 20 or 30 times to get it right or to do a sale. I have seen that those who move out and show up and are unafraid of taking action are the one's who are successful and happy. All top atheletes practise(d) more than their world class competitors. [Just remember to give your A game each time].

Learning - When you try regularly, you will fail many times. That's ok. We just need to figure out why a thing didn't work (or worked) and get wiser. Learning is important. It requires an open mind and an ability to put aside our biases and assumptions when we are analyzing our actions. Most people believe they are good learners but if they repeat their mistakes then they aren't.
