I'm not going to swim for anybody else. I'm swimming for me.
Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
I want to inspire people to believe in themselves and to push their limits.
