One simple trick

Sent by Jonathan Stark on June 7th, 2018

When someone says something like:

“I wish I had abs like Michael Phelps”

...what they’re really saying is:

“I wish I had abs like Michael Phelps without having to train to like an Olympic gold medalist.

I’ve got news for you... if you want to look like an athlete, you’re going to have to train like an athlete.

Sure, there are strategies and tactics and optimizations and tips and tricks that can help you reach your goals more quickly and easily, but... there’s no way around doing some actual hard work.

So...

Want to be a better coder? Code more.

Want to be a better writer? Write more.

Want to be a better speaker? Speak more.

Want to be a better negotiator? Negotiate more.

It’s simple (but not easy).

Yours,

—J
