Took a breather from the myriad changes happening the last few weeks. This year has been eventful indeed. Some principles to follow as I pursue a more definitely uncertain, indefinitely successful and infinitely interesting future.

Competition as Validation

Peter Thiel: Competition as Validation. It may be tempting to squeeze through the narrow door that everyone is trying to get into, but take a step back and instead look around the corner and explore the vast, empty gate that no one is paying attention to. It is unthinkable that in many perceivably esteemed career paths the degree of competition has become so fierce when the stakes are so low. The intention is not to insinuate a lifestyle lacking in competition, and thus lacking in ambition. While thriving to succeed in a highly competitive space may indicate some level of ambition, the reverse is not true.

Action and Conviction

Learnt an inspirational quote from Sam Altman today: Inaction is an insiduous form of risk. Only by moving forward can we see and explore the wide universe of opportunities ahead. Have found myself starting to appreciate the complexity of risk management in personal or career decision making; a state of action or inaction both involves accepting a level of risk, and have therefore decided to restructure the problem into 2 concepts: Action and Conviction.

Convexity

1 minute read

Published:

Understand the intrinsic convexity of opportunities. Convex opportunities are those that produce increasing return per unit of marginal effort over time. Here, return and value are intentionally ambiguously defined, and they could be any notion ranging from value to the customer, financial return, number of goods sold, new knowledge, etc. Identifying convex opportunities can be challenging; it can be due to a mix of both exogenous and endogenous variables including various technical, regulatory and market dynamics, state of technology, location, and point in time.

Boundaries

Published:

Understand what your personal and professional boundaries are, while optimising for rapid personal development. If you do not set what your boundaries are, someone else will set them for you - in work and in life. Never let someone else have control over your time and effort. Be the one in control.
