“If nothing else, I can always do more”

Like Jimmy Spithill, skipper of America’s Cup-winning Team Oracle USA, says, “Rarely have I seen a situation where doing less than the other guy is a good strategy.”

You may not be as experienced, as well funded, as well connected, or as talented, but you can always outthink, outhustle, and outwork everyone else.

“I won’t care what other people may think”

Most of the time, we should worry about what other people think — but not if it stands in the way of living the lives we really want to live.

If you really want to start a business but you’re worried that people might say you’re crazy, do it anyway. Pick one thing you haven...

“I will recognize a person who doesn’t get enough recognition”

Some jobs require more effort than skill. Delivering packages, bagging groceries, checking out customers — the tasks themselves are relatively easy. The difference is in the effort.

So do more than say a reflexive “thanks” to someone who does a thankless job. Smile...

“I’ll show you”

One of the best ways to motivate some people is to manufacture a way to feel insulted, regardless of whether they're actually justified in feeling that way or not.

“Justified” is not the point. Fueling your motivation to do whatever it takes to prove that person wrong, and, more important, ...

“No one else is willing to do that, so that’s what I will do”

“No one else is willing to do that, so that’s what I will do”

Often the easiest way to be different is to do the things other people are unwilling to do.

So pick one thing other people won’t do. It can be simple. It can be small. Doesn’t matter. You’ll instantly be a little different from the rest of the pack. Then keep going.

“I can’t do everything today, but I will take one small step”

Every day we let hesitation and uncertainty stop us from acting on our ideas. Pick one plan, one goal, or one idea. And get started. Just take one small step.

The first step is by far the hardest. Every successive step will be a lot easier.

“I should just be quiet”

Sometimes you're not talking because the other person is interested in what you have to say, but because you're interested in what you have to say.

Never speak just to please yourself. When you do, you please no one.

“I should have done better.”

Successful people don’t expect to be perfect, but they do think they can always be better.

So think back on your day. Think about what went well. Then think about what didn’t go as well as it could have and take ownership. Take responsibility.

“It’s not perfect, and I’m fine with that”

Yes, you get only one chance to make a first impression

Unfortunately, no product or service is ever perfect, and no project or initiative is perfectly planned. Work hard, do great work, and let it go. Your customers and colleagues will tell you what need...

“Hey, that wasn’t so bad after all”

One of the most paralyzing fears is fear of the unknown. Yet nothing ever turns out to be as hard or as scary as we think. Plus, it’s incredibly exciting to overcome a fear. 

You get that “I can’t believe I just did that!” rush, a thrill you may not have experienced for...

“I will answer the question that wasn’t asked”

Sometimes people are hesitant. Sometimes they’re insecure. Sometimes they’re shy. Whatever the reason, sometimes people will ask a different question than the one they really want you to answer.

One employee might ask whether you think he should take a few college cours...

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
