66. Study successful people.
Success however *you* define it. It’s always worth getting as close to the source material as possible. __What decisions did people make? What constraints and contexts did they operate in?__ You can reverse-engineer this and apply it to your own life

**[Hokusai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai) was serious.** Here’s him talking about his paintings after ~70 years of working on them: “From the age of six, I had a passion for copying the form of things and since the age of fifty I have published many drawings, yet of all I drew by my seventieth year there is nothing worth taking into account. At seventy-three years I partly understood the structure of animals, birds, insects and fishes, and the life of grasses and plants. And so, at eighty-six I shall progress further; at ninety I shall even further penetrate their secret meaning, and by one hundred I shall perhaps truly have reached the level of the marvellous and divine. When I am one hundred and ten, each dot, each line will possess a life of its own.”
