Three good thoughts from Shane Parrish:

Short-term results come from intensity. Long-term results come from consistency.

**

Ninety percent of success can be boiled down to consistently doing the obvious thing for an uncommonly long period of time without convincing yourself that you’re smarter than you are.

***

Working smart isn’t the opposite of working hard. It’s the result of working hard.

You have to put in the hours before you can see the shortcuts. You have to learn the details before you can know which ones matter.

You have to do the work wrong many times before you discover how to do it right.
