Will Durant said, “A nation is born stoic, and dies epicurean.” This means that, at the beginning of a nation’s lifespan, it’s citizens are tough.

“You will always offend people with whatever you do, so don’t worry too much about it” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) This message is a hard hitting reminder that, while we all make mistakes, it’s extremely important that you always put out work that is the highest quality of which you are capable. After doing something, if you can honestly say it was the best you could have done, nobody can fault you. But if you did not pursue the work in a conscientious way, with an understanding of the consequences to yourself or whoever you work for, you have no excuse. This is a piece of internal communication with my team, as well as a lesson for everyone who wants to accomplish big things in this world: Everyone likes to make excuses for why they didn’t do as good a job as they wanted, but pure results are the real measure of what has been done. Hold yourself to this high standard, and you will go far. “It’s extremely important to be able to say and admit to yourself that you messed up” - Tai Lopez (click to tweet) Points to Keep In Mind You will always offend people with whatever you do, so don’t worry too much about it Instead of immediately making a judgement call about something, good or bad, right or wrong, try to see what you can learn from it first Learn from everything instead of making an immediate value judgement about it Put yourself in someone else’s shoes to better understand what’s really going on The best way to deal with humans is to always start out nice with people, and then treat them back the way that they treat you You can tell when something is being dealt with in a consciousness way, or when it was not It’s extremely important to be able to say and admit to yourself that you messed up Learn more about your ad choices.
