Another week gone, another 7 days of blogging in the bag, and another Sunday summary…
Thankful for Reverse Cameras in Cars
I have always gotten nervous when I see other people parallel parking. Maybe it’s a belief destruction is bad, see Broken Window Fallacy, or maybe it’s because I don’t trust the person driving not to ram into the car behind them. Thanks to technological innovation, and almost every new car being equipped with a reverse camera, when I see someone backing into a tight space I almost never get nervous anymore. When the driver gets extremely close to the other car and stops just short, I remember they’re being guided by technology. I am very thankful of this innovation and the nerves it has saved me while watching people parallel park.
Blogging After 30 Days
I counted today, this will be my 17th straight day of blog posting. My goal is to blog every day, for 30 days, and post each blog on Facebook (to hold myself accountable). After 30 days I am trying to decide on one of two options. (1) Continue blogging daily (2) Blog weekly and elaborate on a bigger idea, more of a research paper approach. I still have 13 days before I hit 30, but that is currently what I am debating.
New Podcast I’m listening To
I started listening to Successful Dropout. It’s a podcast by Kylon Gienger where he interviews successful dropouts and they discuss their stories in entrepreneurship. He also has weekly Friday podcasts where he talks about whatever is on his mind. I have already taken two good ideas away from his podcast.
- His podcast starts with an introduction that says “The people who are crazy enough, who believe they can change the world, are the ones who do”. This is a powerful message and in line with my current attitude. The head of GoogleX says we should be thinking of solutions with moonshots and the idea that it’s easier to improve something tenfold (10x) then it is to improve something 10%.
- My other takeaway from Kylon’s podcast is the phrase “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. I think it’s a perfect summary of the entrepreneur mindset. Always be hungry to improve, but also be the naive kid who falls off the bike because that’s the only true way to learn.
That’s my Sunday summary. Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
