Book Titles

You can’t become truly comfortable with a skill until you’ve practiced enough to master it. But practicing it before you master it is uncomfortable, so you often avoid it.

Accelerating learning requires a… form of courage: being brave enough to use your knowledge as you acquire it.

When discomfort is a signal of progress, you don’t want to run away from it. You want to keep stumbling toward it to continue growing.

When we’re encouraged to make mistakes, we end up making fewer of them. Early mistakes help us remember the correct answer – and motivate us to keep learning.

You don’t need to get comfortable before you can practice your skills. Your comfort grows as you practice your skills.

…as long as you’re willing to be a little uncomfortable, it’s never too late to learn. And that courage can be contagious.

If we wait until we feel ready to take on a new challenge, we might never pursue it at all. There may not come a day when we wake up and suddenly feel prepared. We become prepared by taking the leap anyway.

Improving depends not on the quality of information you seek out, but the quality of the information you take in. Growth is less about how hard you work than how well you learn.

The progress we normally chalk up to working harder may actually be due to working smarter.

Prosperity rises as people become more capable of absorbing new ideas and filtering out old ones.
