If he wakes too many days in a row
not spending the day how he’d like to
if it was his last on earth, then he
knows it’s time for a change.

35. ‘Stay hungry, stay foolish.’
Watch when life is becoming
too routine.

36. Timothy Ferriss
 “ For all the most important things, the timing
always sucks. Waiting for a good time?.....The stars
will never align and the traffic lights of life will
never all be green at the same time. The universe
doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out
of its way to line up all the pins either. Conditions
are never perfect. ‘Someday is a disease that will
take your dreams to the grave with you. If it’s
important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually,’
just do it and correct course along the way.”
