Wisdom basics, work

Insight: In your career, make your get-to-do more than your have-to-do.

Even if it’s only a 51% to 49% ratio.

Your 51% has controlling interest.

The analogy is two business partners with a 50-50 share. If they disagree, the business stalls because no one has controlling interest. No one can make the final call. This tension can last a lifetime.

Work that you get to do never feels like work.

Why?

Because you get to do it.

Work that you have to do always feels like work.

Why?

Because if you had a choice, you wouldn’t do it.

Now, closer to 70 than to 60, my get-to-do is 99%.

Take the long way

Working smart is the opposite of working hard.

But ‘working smart’ IS the result of working hard.

You have to put in the hours before you see shortcuts. You have to learn details before you learn which details matter.

You have to fail many times before you discover how to do succeed.

The long way is the shortcut.

Let there be more light

post it note — Wisdom. Self-discovery and self-enlightenment two decades ago. In 2026, looking for something even more wise and enlightening.

Let there be more light in 2026.

In this post, light is synonymous with wisdom.

Let there be more wisdom in 2026 than any previous year in my life.

Ps. Wishing this for our world too.

Incompetent incompetents

Bottle of extra virgin olive oil — This photo has nothing to do with this post. In a weird way, it’s the perfect example of not knowing how much you don’t know: aka an incompetent incompetent.

Yesterday’s meeting was gold.

Not for the team leader. She failed to run an excellent meeting.

What gold then?

My gold. My main client finally got to see, hear, and feel what i’ve been saying for years.

In summary, “Ya’ll have no idea how to think like it matters.”

Bonus: Greatness will elude you, until you understand WHY Disney does what it does. That won’t happen until you stop focusing on what Disney does and how Disney does it.
