1. To see optimism not as a prediction but as a choice. Pessimists are sometimes right, but they rarely build anything.
2. To remember that the future is not a place were going. Its a thing were making. Every day, with every choice, whether we admit it or not.
3. To be so busy making things better that you have no time to explain why things cant improve.
4. To understand that it might not work is not a reason to stop. Plan for the downside and commit to the contribution.
5. To trade the comfort of certainty for the possibility of contribution. Certainty is for spectators.
6. To be too generous for hoarding, too curious for cynicism, too committed for despair, and too busy shipping to permit the presence of Resistance.
7. To stop waiting to be picked. The world doesnt care about your credentials. It only cares about what you create.
8. To begin. Before youre ready. Because you will never be ready.
