I learned that word of wisdom a number of years ago, and that quote is tattooed in my brain.
Since then, I've always followed it.
Talent is great. Experience helps. Connections matter.
But to really succeed, you have to learn faster than anyone else — and be flexible.
Adapt. Drop what doesn’t work. Double down on what does.
Stay open to new ideas. Don’t be stubborn—don’t get stuck like a bump on a log.
The fastest learner wins. That means:
- Asking better questions
- Testing ideas quickly
- Making mistakes without ego
- Turning feedback into fuel
