If everything you do needs to work on a three-year time horizon, then you’re competing against a lot of people. But if you’re willing to invest on a seven-year time horizon, you’re now competing against a fraction of those people, because very few companies are willing to do that. Just by lengthening the time horizon, you can engage in endeavors that you could never otherwise pursue.

Last post from a writer’s writer

One of my favorite writer’s writers has given a final sign off from his weekly blog. William Zinsser, author of On Writing Well, signed of after several years of writing for The American Scholar, which will not be the same without him.

In his final post he shared a final great piece of advice to aspiring writers:

Give yourself permission to believe in the validity of your own narrative.

I’m going to miss his weekly posts but hope he keeps writing elsewhere.
