| d5bfd1c | The Beginning Is "heart work," not "head work" "So much of the job is more emotion and 'heart work' than it is 'head work.'

| 9726973 | Why Superbad Worked Superbad worked because Seth and Evan wrote about exactly what they were experiencing at the time. Evan explains, "At the time, all we knew was that we really wanted to get laid, we weren't getting laid, and we weren't supercool." It pays to write what you know.

| 128bed9 | What are you putting off out of fear? Usually, what we most fear doing is what we most need to do. That phone call, that conversation, whatever the action might be--it is fear of unknown outcomes that prevents us from doing what we need to do. Define the worst case, accept it, and do it. I'll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do. As I have heard said, a pe.. | Timothy Ferriss | ||

It often doesn't. I | Timothy Ferriss | ||

| 4aa71cd | Asymmetrical risks and rewards: "Every single one of them is obsessed with asymmetrical risk and reward. . . . It simply means they're looking to use the least amount of risk to get the max amount of upside, and that's what they live for. . . . [They don't believe they] have to take huge risks for huge rewards.

| 321c22d | 2,000-3,000 PEOPLE, NOT GENERAL FAME This is one of the messages Eric burned into my brain last year, and it's guided many decisions since. We were sitting in a large soaking tub talking about the world (as mathematicians and human guinea pigs do in San Francisco), and he said: "General fame is overrated.
