The book the black swan one of the best pieces of advice you'll ever read is collect opportunities, but don't change trains
Collect every opportunity you can to meet someone to talk to someone to see an idea To go take an extra class to read an extra book.
Collect every opportunity don't waste a second you can't buy it back no matter how much you earn No matter how much you're worth No fancy car. There is no trade-ins. There's no trade backs nothing That second's lost. It's gone forever But do not chase trains.
If you say you're gonna do something then you damn well better do it If that train comes at eight o'clock and you arrive at 801 that is your fault as I said in the speech You blew it. No one else don't ever chase a train
I only had one rule with my daughter with sports once she signed up for the season I don't care how bad it got she was playing that season out no matter what and she knew that rule Don't chase trains the train comes at eight Be there at 755 no excuses collect every opportunity. Don't waste time
