#18. Profound Paradoxes
For the 18th article of the newsletter, here are the 18 profound paradoxes that I read lately. Thanks to all smart people out there who wrote these smart words. Here you go, in no specific order:
Small Focus, Big Gains
Practice dumbness become smart
Heroes create victims
Asking for help is a sign of courage
Teaching is the best way to learn
Being interested in others makes you interesting
Seeking happiness makes you unhappy
The more you know, the less certain you become
The way to be safe is to never be secure
Pleasing everyone makes people hate you
Short term pain long term gain, short term gain long term pain
Step back to jump forward
Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardships
Big talk means little knowledge
It is easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission
If you don't decide for yourself, others will
To break the rules, know them well
Anybody driving slower than us is an idiot and the one driving faster than us is a maniac
