#2. Stupidity has nothing to do with a person’s other characteristics.
#3. A stupid person harms others without benefiting himself.
#4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid people.

“I want” isn’t commitment. Passion and planning aren’t action. “These are good ideas” is comforting drivel.
The evidence of commitment is singular and obvious. It’s action. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Maturity doesn’t come naturally. It’s learned.
Plants mature with age. People don’t. You can be old and self-absorbed.

The desire to lead others makes self-leadership boring.
Most aspire to lead others. The best lead themselves.
Don’t be an expert at leading others, and a novice at leading yourself.
