🌱 AOI #35: A Friendly Reminder

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

On hobbies, writing, and the right mission

29. MAR. 2024

Hey guys,

I've been testing a new format for four weeks and would love to hear your feedback.

Can you take a second to answer this one multiple-choice question?

Thanks!

All right, here's a bit of inspiration for you this week.

1. On hobbies

"The hobby realm is where you get eclectic. Pursue fascinating and weird subjects that have nothing at all to do with your domain. It’s this second realm that will provide you with unique connections and inspiration. Have fun, follow your heart, and wander wherever you desire. This isn’t work, it’s play."

— Kirby Ferguson

2. On quotes

"The right quote can inspire people to change their ways."

— Zig Ziglar

3. On Writing

“You are writing primarily to please yourself, and if you go about it with enjoyment you will also entertain the readers who are worth writing for.”

— William Zinsser, On Writing Well​
​

Once you read (and apply) this book, your writing will never be the same again.

4. On not waiting for permission

"If you want to be a poet, write poetry. Every day. Show us your work. If you want to do improv, start a troupe. Don’t wait to get picked. If you want to write a screenplay, write a screenplay. If you want to do marketing, find a good cause and spread the idea. Don’t ask first. If you’d like to be more strategic or human or caring at your job, don’t wait for the boss to ask."

— Seth Godin, Are you doing what you said you wanted to do?​

5. On the Right Mission
