Do The Work
Just wanted to share a wonderful tip which was inspired today by one of my favourite authors and thinkers, Seth Godin:
He wrote that a guy asked his friend, the writer David Foster Wallace, “Say, Dave, how’d y’get t’be so dang smart?”
His answer: “I did the reading.”
Here’s the kicker… no one said the preparation part was fun, but yes, it’s important.
I wonder, then, why we believe we can skip the preparation (the hard yards, the years of experience, the getting of wisdom) and still expect to be so dang smart (or good, or expert, etc) at what we do?
My suggestion … do the work, and the results will follow.
