The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"I won't say if my candidate doesn't win, and probably half the time they haven't, I'm going to take my ball and go home"
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
"The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything."
Quote by -Warren Buffet
Most information is time-consuming, negative, irrelevant to your goals, and outside of your influence.
Quote by -Tim Firris
If you want to have more, do more, and be more, it all begins with the voice that no one else hears.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Give vulnerability a shot. Give discomfort its due. Because I think he or she who is willing to be the most uncomfortable is not only the bravest, but rises the fastest.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Babe Ruth struck out all the time, but he’s not remembered for that. He’s remembered for what worked.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory. Enter the world of elimination.
Quote by -Tim Firris
I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.
Quote by -Tim Firris
If we’re talking about just distractions, we’re talking about prioritization. If you feel like you don’t have time, you don’t have priorities. Everyone has the same amount of time.
Quote by -Tim Firris
It is imperative that you learn to ignore or redirect all information and interruptions that are irrelevant, unimportant, or unactionable. Most are all three.
Quote by -Tim Firris
In a world of distraction and multitasking, the ability to single task — to genuinely do one thing without getting distracted by push notifications, alerts, email, text messages, social media, whatever it might be — is a super power.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Schedule things in advance, or you might be inclined to quit. A lot of standup comedians do this, because they may have six or 12 gigs before they do their first set well. Commit beforehand; prepay if you can.
Quote by -Tim Firris
It’s hip to focus on getting things done, but it’s only possible once we remove the constant static and distraction.
Quote by -Tim Firris
I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Blaming idiots for interruptions is like blaming clowns for scaring children – they can’t help it. It’s their nature. Then again, I had, on occasion, been known to create interruptions out of thin air. If you’re anything like me, that makes us both occasional idiots. Learn to recognize and fight the interruption impulse. This is infinitely easier when you have a set of rules, responses, and routines to follow.
Quote by -Tim Firris
What bullshit excuses do you have for not going after whatever it is that you want?
Quote by -Tim Firris
No newspapers, magazines, audiobooks, or nonmusic radio. Musicis permitted at all times. No news websites whatsoever (cnn.com, drudgereport.com, msn.com,10 etc.). No television at all, except for one hour of pleasure viewing each evening. No reading books, except for this book and one hour of fiction11 pleasure reading prior to bed. No web surfing at the desk unless it is necessary to complete a work task for that day. Necessary means necessary, not nice to have.
Quote by -Tim Firris
The world doesn’t even hiccup, much less end, when you cut the information umbilical cord.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Create slack, as no one will give it to you. This is the only way to swim forward instead of treading water.
Quote by -Tim Firris
People don’t lose in various aspects of their lives because they pursue a lot of bad ideas. They lose because they say yes to too many ‘kinda cool’ things/ideas.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Doing less is not being lazy. Don’t give in to a culture that values personal sacrifice over personal productivity.
Quote by -Tim Firris
Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions.
Quote by -Tim Firris
If I’m “busy,” it is because I’ve made choices that put me in that position, so I’ve forbidden myself to reply to “How are you?” with “Busy.” I have no right to complain. Instead, if I’m too busy, it’s a cue to reexamine my systems and rules.
Quote by -Tim Firris
I was once refused for a lunch date with a very famous tech investor and he said, ‘Sorry, I’m on a no-meeting diet for the next month and I have a policy of saying no to all meetings’. So I started using a ‘no conference call diet’ and people just rolled with it. It was incredible. There was no feedback, no push-back.
