Question 4

Dont start a business until..

Question 5

dont be a donkey

Answer 5

donkey is standing halfway between water and hay. it keeps looking left and right, trying to decide between hay and water. eventually it dies of hunger and thirst.

dont pursue different directions all at once
pick one thing

dont think short term. we assume if we dont do all the things now they wont happen.
think long term. do just one thing for a few years. then another for a few years, then another.

you can do everything you want, just need foresight and patience.

most people overestimate what they can do in one year, and underestimate what they can do in ten years.
