The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.
In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

I swear, this blog isn't just going to become a link to every single Tim Ferriss episode. The problem is that most of his recent interviews are too good not to share.
This particular interview with Shopify's Tobi Lütke is great for a few reasons, but here were my big takeaways:
- Life should be about going on a journey, surrounded by friends, doing hard things.
- It's critical to have a growth mindset. You should be able to be thrown into a job that you have no qualifications for, accept that it will be challenging, and ultimately figure out how to succeed.
- Failing at a project is very difficult if you optimize for two things: first, find the human relationship(s) in the project and aim to make them the best they can possibly be. Second, aim for proficiency in the underlying skill it takes to complete the task. If you make a solid relationship with someone and sharpen a dull skill, then the project isn't a failure in the grand scheme.
