None Of Us Know What We Want

Present-Oriented Approach
Our approach towards our life is always future-oriented. The trick is to change it to a present-oriented approach. Instead of asking "What do I like to do?", you need to ask yourself "what am I doing right now?"
- By questioning yourself from a high-level perspective you are not able to evaluate specific aspects of your likeness and preferences.
- By asking yourself about the present moment, and making it an ongoing process, you are able to do your best to steer yourself in the right direction, every waking minute.
Balance
The ideal solution is to find balance between thinking and doing:
- Extreme thinkers can think about enhancing themselves to become the best at what they already do.
- Extreme doers are advised to do random activities, learning new skills, exposing oneself to unpredictable situations and pushing oneself out of the comfort zone.

Growth evangelists are right when they state that severe lockdowns produce a parallel human misery of unemployment, looming bankruptcies, and extreme financial anguish. Yet, opening the economy too...
The false choice
“Save the economy or save lives” is a false choice.
A group of economists published a paper on the 1918 flu outbreak. Their findings revealed:
- Early and aggressive interventions saved lives and triggered a faster rebound, such as job growth and banking assets.
- Without a healthy population, there can be no healthy economy.
The hope is for a deep, short recession, to show that people have shut the economy down to limit the spread of disease.
A living wage
Asking millions of able-bodied workers to stop working creates a crisis of unemployment.
During this time, the U.S. is expanding unemployment benefits and are also delaying tax filing. In northern-European countries, the government is directly paying businesses to maintain their payrolls to avoid mass layoffs and furloughs.

Originals and Where to Find Them
- Unsung Heroes. For each major innovation or movement, there are catalysts that fade into the background of what they create.
- Insubordinates. It's important to triage troublemakers, but in doing so, don't miss an original in your midst.
- Those who have been fired. The ones who do not worry about pleasing others or fitting in.
- Inward-facing innovators. People that even though work privately, create extreme impact.
