At a restaurant do you order what you know is great， or do you try something new？ Do you make what you know will sell or try something new？ Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met？ The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive， but aim for 1/3.
90% of everything is crap. If you think you don’t like opera， romance novels， TikTok， country music， vegan food， NFTs， keep trying to see if you can find the 10% that is not crap.
Don‘t keep making the same mistakes； try to make new mistakes.
Don’t aim to have others like you； aim to have them respect you.
Don’t take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy， occupied， distracted. Try again later. It’s amazing how often a second try works.
