“…Use natural light. Take what you get. Make the variability in your inputs part of what you create.”


“…take the path of natural light. Embrace the idea that the conditions will never be ideal, which of course makes them always ideal. Because the thing about natural light is that whatever it is, is.”


“You can make this choice about the way you make ketchup, your hiking & camping methods or the way you do photography. Less equipment, less repeatability, more engagement.”

“The initiator


“For each person who cares enough to make something, who is bold enough to ship it, who is generous enough to say, “here, I made this,”…


“There are ten people who say, “I could have done it better.”


“A hundred people who say, “Who are you to do this?”


“A thousand people who say, “I was just about to do that,”


“and ten thousand people who don’t care at all.


“And all of that is okay, because the person we need, the one we cherish, the one we would miss, is the first person, the initiator, the one who cares.


“Thanks for shipping your work.” — Seth Godin

Pathfinding

“Some simple arithmetic will show you how much time you’re spending on finding the path:

[The amount of time it took you to do it last time] minus [the amount of time it will take you next time]

“If you come up with something close to zero, then you’re running the path, doing it consistently and spending almost no time at all finding a path. You’ve already found one.”

” … Lots of people run paths. Very few have the guts to find a new one.”
