May 2023 Lessons - Competence Over Credentials

Matt's Mind: Season 2, Episode 9

Each month I keep a list of thoughts, ideas, opinions, and insights that I come across and find interesting. From this list I've selected some to share with you:

1. “Competence over credentials.” - James Clear

2. “A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.” ― Hunter S. Thompson

3. The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you. - Paul Graham - Source

4. “Success for me means that the people that are most important in my life feel like I gave them everything I had all the time” - Ravi Gupta - TKP 164

5. Alfred Adler, the Austrian psychotherapist, said: “Every human being strives for significance, but people always make mistakes if they do not see that their whole significance must consist in their contribution to the lives of others.”

6. "If your views on other things can be predicted from your views on one thing, you need to be very careful that you’re not in the grip of an ideologue.” - Kevin Kelly on TKP

7. PSA: 20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked late are your kids - Source

Let me know which thought you enjoyed the most this month.

P.s. This one was a rather delayed. It’s been a crazy month of June to say the least.

I appreciate you.

My thoughts are subject to change and I will get some things wrong. I promise to keep learning and strive to do better. I am by no means an expert on any topic I may write or make videos about so always do your own research as well. I try to keep an open mind. If I can teach you something and also learn something from you then I'm doing what I set out to do. Thanks for reading. These are just some thoughts.
