Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.

Growth happens when you do things you feel unqualified to do.

Equip yourself with specialised knowledge, accountability, and leverage. Specialised knowledge is what you learn uniquely, not through standard education.

If society can teach it to you, it can teach it to others, making you replaceable.

You acquire specialised knowledge by following your genuine interests, not just current trends.

While you might find it enjoyable, others may see it as hard work. This kind of knowledge is usually passed on through apprenticeships, not traditional schooling.

Specialised knowledge often involves technical or creative expertise that's difficult to outsource or automate.

We grow the most when we practice the skills we are worst at.

If you're not trying to sharpen your skills, you're falling behind.

If you're always the smartest in the room, you're in the wrong room.

Skill acquisition follows the path of most resistance - what challenges you transforms you.

True mastery requires not just practice, but deliberate practice at the edge of your abilities.

The plateau of competence is where most people stop; the climb to excellence begins where comfort ends.

Skills compound - each one you master makes the next easier to acquire.

The amateur practices until they get it right; the professional practices until they can't get it wrong.

Your skills are your personal equity - they cannot be inflated away or taken from you.

The gap between where you are and where you want to be is filled with skills you haven't yet developed.

Skill development is the process of making the impossible possible, then easy, then elegant.

The most valuable skills are those that allow you to create rather than just consume.
