I'm getting a bit tired of these ever-repeating "How to be successful"-cookbooks.

But at least there were some fun quotes in this one:

Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.

A wise man keeps his own counsel.

Im kind of tired of them too, but they seem to keep coming. Why? Maybe its a good thing to always see positive thoughts. Maybe its a good thing to get away from the news some times.

News isn't the only thing in this world that matters. Its the positives and happiness too.

I like this one too:

The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.

Seems hard to prove but I guess that's not the point.

blogging in general is tired, but some good stuff comes out of it (sometimes). i did like some of what this guy had to say "When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think". i recently pitched some vc whom i thought would totally get it. i was wrong, but this read is encouraging.

This is probably the best nugget in the list:

With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.

Do this every time you are faced with a choice, and you'll remove the decision paralysis that most people experience.
