1. "Talk is cheap."
Stop talking about doing things and actually DO THEM.
This world desperately needs courageous individuals, who will take action on their dreams.
Be that person.
2. "Experience vs. Theory."
"We are much better at doing than understanding."
Experience is your best teacher.
We as humans are meant to be DOING THINGS.
Not just theorizing about stuff all day.
3. "Yes or No?"
Every decision can be simplified down to either being for or against something.
No matter the sophistication of the situation, try to boil it down to a simple "YES" or "NO"
4. "Dominance of the Minority."
Most people are passive and don't care enough to debate topics.
This is how books get banned for example.
All it takes is a small minority who are really stubborn to move the needle.
