Kind of a light week, but here was what I found interesting:

Quotes
- “Don’t be careful, be competent.” ~Tom Cruise
- “The most successful creatives are the most prolific, with their success rate remaining remarkably flat throughout their lifetime. This undermines both the view that slowly-accumulating expertise manifests in better performance and the idea that youthful enthusiasm is central to new ideas. Instead, creative success seems to be largely a function of work ethic.” ~Scott Young, referring to the book Greatness by Dean Simonton.
Vocab
