"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible."
— Lawrence of Arabia
Steve Jobs on working with incredibly talented people
“When you’ve got incredibly talented people that are also rare and in demand, if you don’t treat them right, they can go get another job in 10 minutes,” Steve Jobs explains. “So this strange thing happens where the hierarchy of power inverts, and the CEO is actually at the bottom.”
He continues:
“So I feel like I work for most of these people because they’re the ones who are doing all of the brilliant work . . . The best people are very hard to come by, so it’s management’s job to support them because they’re on the frontlines doing the work. So that’s kind of how we run [Pixar].”

Because people who lack confidence think negatively about themselves all the time, they assume having confidence means thinking positively about yourself. The reality is that real confidence means not thinking about yourself at all.
jeff bezos on why playing the long game beats everyone:
1. most things we built took five to seven years before they made the company a single dollar. customers got value right away. but shareholders had to wait years. that gap is exactly where almost everyone gives up.
2. when you hit a problem, never accept either/or thinking. don't choose between two good options invent a way to get both. you can invent your way out of any box if you actually believe you can.
3. listen to customers obsessively. ignore them and you'll go astray. but they won't tell you everything. it's not their job to invent for themselves. you have to invent on their behalf.
4. if you think long-term, you have to be willing to be misunderstood. anything new and disruptive looks wrong in the early innings. we got called amazon.toast and a lot of things i can't repeat here. that's just the toll.
5. when people criticize us we ask one thing: do we actually think we're right? if yes, we keep going. if we think they have a point, we fix it fast. but we never cave just because the pressure wants a short-term answer.
6. thinking in five and seven year frames is far rarer than you'd guess. that's the whole reason it works. while everyone else chases the next quarter, you're quietly building something they can't touch.
Put yourself in situations where you have too much at stake to waste time or resources—if you cannot afford to lose, you won’t. Place yourself on “death ground,” where your back is against the wall and you have to fight like hell to get out alive.

Nigerians are very wicked people.
All of a sudden they're claiming that opening Outlier account for someone will jeopardize their stay abroad.
Outlier that has been there since 2021.
They're just pissed off that Nigerians living in Nigeria have found a way to earn in dollars with minimal stress.
If you don't want to open for your relatives, it's fine, but stop making stupid tweets to discourage others from opening for theirs.
I am telling you. Build things. Keep building things.
Put the things out so people can see them.
I’m begging you. I promise you, you will achieve massive things.
I haven't read this for about 10 years, but I just looked at it after someone linked to it and I was surprised how many of these things are starting to happen. Still no next Steve Jobs yet though.
