My definition of Leverage — maintain a steadfast focus on continuous improvement at strategic leverage points, based on personal convictions, and you are likely to pull ahead within 10Y
Applicable to any marathons.
- eg: Those team members who spend enough time exploring localSys would eventually prove themselves relative to those who focus on deliverable.
- eg: I focus on career longevity, while my cohort tends to focus on brank and salary.
- eg: I focus on raw veg, starch reduction and other diet habits. My cohort tends to focus on strength or appearance of health.
I think the real challenge is conviction, or selection of the leverage points. If you don’t see results after a long time + a lot of effort, then you need to decide whether to “cut loss” or double down. Examples:
- learn piano
- learn 五笔
- learn muscle-up
- push myself to practice yoga 10m/day
— learning .. 学习是积累
- eg: I spend lots of time refreshing the English vocab I learnt in the past. Other students tend to focus on new words.
- eg: I spend lots of time reviewing past coding problems, while other job seekers mostly focus on new problems.
— finance
- eg: Warren Buffett focused on cash flow rather than hot tech stocks.
- eg: I focus on current income rather than windfall paper profit. Now I have pulled ahead in brbr, FullerWealth, ffree.
