The book says, ‘If you share the work of others, it’s your duty to make sure that the creators of that work get proper credit,’ and ‘Find the right credit, or don’t share.’ I find it funny how X (formerly known as Twitter) has a ‘quote tweet’ and then more people comment and like that quote than the original poster. I always make an effort to go to the original tweet and comment on that.
The book says, ‘Teaching doesn’t mean instant competition. There is an intuition that you only gain through the repetition of practice.’ This is so true. It’s also true that no matter how much you share your ideas, only a very few people who see it will actually do something with it. The majority of people have their daily lives bogging them down with ‘the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches.’ (That’s from the Bible, just to give credit where credit is due… 😉 )
The book says, ‘Meet people online is awesome, but turning them into IRL friends is even better.’ I have firsthand experience with this. Two of my biggest influences (Tom Venuto and Jocko Willink) are people I have reached out to and contacted online at first. It was nice meeting them and while I don’t get to see them in real life very often, the contact that we do have is easier and freer than in times past, I believe.
