Everyone will tell you to do what you love. To not settle in your career, never settle in your love life.
Not many people will tell you about patience.
It’s probably the secret to winning anything.
Everyone is concerned with the beginning. The launch day of their product or website. Of the first date. Your first day of working out and dieting. They have an image of the final outcome.
Making money. A happy life. A lean, strong body.
But the middle is the real test.
It’s the grind. It’s boring. It’s often depressing.
It’s the empty road on a long road trip where you’re running low on gas and food, and it seems like there’s nothing worthwhile in sight.
Most people give up too soon. You go on a couple bad dates and believe you are cursed and destined to be alone forever. So you promise yourself to stop dating for a few months.
Your sales slump after your first week launch. You were exciting news! But now the presses and blogs need something fresh, and you’re already 7 days too old.
And this is where patience comes in. If you can fight that voice in your head that is trying to convince you you’ve failed, and keep working on refining your methods to reach your goal, you’ve already beat 100% of the competition. The competition being the negative version of yourself.
In my short professional career, I have started about 6 companies. The more recent ones I invested significantly in. And of those, I quit most, if not all too early.
I could regret all the money that was wasted, but money can always be made back. The lesson was worth the thousands I’ve “lost”. Patience is something I finally have a grasp of, which is difficult in the internet age of I want it now. And especially harder when you’re not getting any younger.
Rarely is anything great and successful built overnight. It’s often accomplished by continuing to work when everyone else is giving up.
“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”
This is worth watching. Makes you think about how bad you really want something, doesn’t it?
Have an awesome weekend everyone.

Meanwhile, restaurants like Le Pain Quotidien and shares of Whole Foods and Lululemon are on the rise. This is capitalism at its best, and one of the main reasons why I’m optimistic about our nation’s health. You’ve got to fight capitalism with capitalism.

The 1% on the Shoulders of the 99%
Korean sculptor and installation artist Do Ho Suh created this awesome installation, entitled Floor, that might not look like much until you get good and close to it. Glass plates rest on thousands of multicolored miniature plastic figures who are crowded together with their heads and arms turned skyward. Together, they support the weight of the individual visitor who steps onto the floor.
Currently showing at Lehmann Maupin’s pop-up gallery at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI) until February 11th, Floor is a wonderfully thought-provoking installation.
