Shut up and Wait!

 Linear thinking = 8+8+8+8+8 = 40

Exponential thinking = 8*8*8*8*8 = 32768

The Psychology of Money - Morgan Housel

 


Earth on multiple occasions had been covered with Ice. How did that happen?

Was it a sudden phenomenon? Sometime may be ; but mostly its due to incremental effects :

for ex., a particular summer , never gets warm enough to melt previous summer's snow 

the left-over ice base makes it easier for snow to accumulate the following winter, which increases the odds of snow sticking around in the following winter...the stickiness effect!

This goes on and on - within a few hundred years , Ice age sets in!

Bug message: A small starting base can lead to extraordinary results ! you dont need extraordinary effort for extra-ordinary results! ...the power of compounding that comes with stickiness to one thing!

the secret here is time !   Are you willing to put yourself through one thing for a long enough time ? that how compounding works! Are you willing to Shut up and wait?

Stick to one thing - Build - Build - Build  - a body of work - until it bursts out what looks like a work of a genius!

Man is the one who has found a way to live in all kinds of time... What changes a man is his mind. This human mind does not stick to one place. As a result of the urge to wander in search of food, the mind began to write down wishes in detail.
