The Action Paradox
Sometimes inaction is the most powerful action.
Bias for action is a common trait of highly-successful people.
But don't confuse movement with action—a rocking chair moves, but it doesn’t progress.
Action is about progress. Stillness—inaction—can create it.

In the real world, each of us, imperfect as we are, strives to make the most of the unique mix of traits and skills with which we’ve been blessed. Those of us who do this best—who find what we love about what we do, and cultivate this love with intelligence and discipline—are the ones who contribute most. The best people are not well-rounded, finding fulfillment in their uniform ability. Quite the opposite, in fact—the best people are spiky, and in their lovingly honed spikiness they find their biggest contribution, their fastest growth, and, ultimately, their greatest joy.

It's well-intentioned, but it's dangerous to use someone else's map of reality to navigate yours.
Winners learn to filter and selectively implement advice—take the signal, skip the noise.
