This was great and very motivating but my only little squabble with it was where he talked about excuses. I'm one who firmly believes that there is no room for excuses I'm anything you do but when you fail and try to point out why, that isn't always an excuse. We need to try to understand everything as humans and sometimes our theories on why we fail are off base and can sound like excuses. Some things are just out of our control. Those who are making excuses know it deep down inside but sometimes you fail and you really jus can't control it.
we let the decisions be taken by the faceless system of default behaviours that composes the world.
I love that line. Not sure why but it really got to me.
The default outcome for life in the western world is being normal, unremarkable, unnoticeable.
This one got to me more. So well put. So many people who want to cry about life not being fair and things not going how they want and it's because they accept the default. I find myself having to tell people something similar though far less eloquent all the time.
