The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.

Life is a series of tradeoffs, and greater results usually require greater tradeoffs.
The question is not, “Do you want to be great at this?”
The question is, “What are you willing to give up in order to be great at this?”

When I go into a situation, I try to keep a mindset of baseline optimism.
-When starting the day: It's going to be a good day.
-When meeting someone new: I'm going to like them.
-When trying something challenging: It's going to work
out.
Problems will inevitably arise and I'll deal with them as the situation demands, but my preference is to assume I'm on a winning path until proven otherwise.

Maintain a margin of safety. If your life is designed only to handle the expected challenges, then it will fall apart as soon as something unexpected happens to you. Always be stronger than you need to be. Leave room for the unexpected.

the fight for the future is a struggle between technological-driven growth and managed decline.
the growth path has inherent risks and challenges along with its fantastic upside, and the decline path has guaranteed long-term disaster.
stasis is a myth.

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is.
If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.
In that simple statement is the key to science.
