“Never let the universe smooth you into its surroundings.”
-Jeff Bezos
Warren Buffett asks a simple question:Do you have an inner scorecard or
an outer one?
Do you measure yourself by how well you perform or by how others see you perform?
One is noise. The other is truth.
If this idea speaks to you, read
by Hitendra Wadhwa.
It makes one powerful point:
Real success starts inside.
Mahatma Gandhi lived this way.
He didn’t need scripts or preparation.
Because what he thought, said, and did were the same thing. That’s why his words carried weight.
There’s a similar lesson in
Carmine Gallo.
Bezos compares business to
learning a handstand.
You don’t chase applause.
You practice.
You practice.
You fall.
You adjust.
You improve 1% a day.
Quietly.
No one sees the progress at first. But one day, you’re upside down, steady.
Focus inward.
Let the outside take care of itself.
The real victory is within.
Have a great Monday!
