Paul Graham: Commitment Is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Today, I stumbled across two years old essay from Paul Graham about running a successful Startup. I especially liked the fifth chapter about the importance of commitment and determination, which is very relevant to self-improvement domain as well.
“But if you lack commitment, chances are it will have been hurting you long before you actually quit. Everyone who deals with startups knows how important commitment is, so if they sense you’re ambivalent, they won’t give you much attention. If you lack commitment, you’ll just find that for some mysterious reason good things happen to your competitors but not to you. If you lack commitment, it will seem to you that you’re unlucky.”
