Paradox – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

The thing about everything, mind

The thing about everything is that everything takes longer than you plan.

Noteworthy, there’s an exception to nearly every rule.

Exceptions are rare.

So something you plan to do happening in the time you thought it would take is rare. Even rarer is it happening faster than planned.

Then there’s the paradox of planned time and actual speed.

Let’s say you plan to live 80 years (planned time) but you live your life in 70 (actual speed).

Not easy and not hard, mind

Most stuff in life is not easy.

Most stuff in life is also not hard.

Paradox.

Great news, if you believe it.

Greater news if you use the wisdom.

All improvement is incremental

All improvement is incremental…

Improvement stems from the magic of compound interest.

Countless small iterations.

In hindsight, it turns out that each iteration required all the preceding iteration attempts— all the failures and the successes.

The more you try, the more you fail.

The more you fail, the closer you get to improvement. Until one day, a small, never-been-tried tweak or a sudden, random idea creates a eureka moment.

What feels like a breakthrough in reality is a culmination of small, almost invisible positive steps toward the eureka moment.

This is great news.

What could go right

crayon sketch — First draft of my business card logo, 2008.

i plan for the worst and hope for the best.

However, this is how most start, “What could go wrong?”

Human nature. No doubt. That’s where i used to start, and, stop too.

Now my human nature is also ask, “What could go right?”

Beware of negativity

Beware of…

Negativity.

Procrastination.

Hype.

Greed.

Doubt.

Knowing what to avoid is as important as knowing what to chase.
