PPracticedignorance: ignoring the things that distract us are a quintessential ingredient in the pursuit of success. People are predisposed to listening to everything other people say regardless of whether they have any intention of following the advice or not. The key is avoiding it in the first place, never allow your time to be cannibalized by unnecessary distractions. Say no to almost everything. This enables you to pursue the things that matter most and provides you with the opportunity to say yes to the things that really matter.

Just do it: Everyone has an idea, a belief that they could shape a specific industry by altering it to their will. Be that nurses in the medical profession disgusted by the abundance of waste they experience a daily basis or a sandwich maker on subway who conceives a better to make sandwiches. But they wait. Instead of pursuing the idea and iteratively improving what we already have they are paralyzed by the fear of the unknown. Instead of just doing something they do nothing and the potential for advance dies with their willingness to speak up. Doing something germinates the seed of possibilities. Of course, the seed might not flower, but you have given it a chance to grow and flourish. And plant as many seeds as possible, this will give you multiple opportunities to succeed.
