3-2-1: On mistakes of ambition vs. sloth, innovation, and being reliable

It’s crazy how often I feel like I need to resolve some big problem in my life when all I really need is one of the following:

1. A glass of water

2. A 10-minute walk outside

3. A good night of sleep

Three simple things that resolve many of the stresses and anxieties of daily life.

Mistakes of ambition teach. Mistakes of sloth comfort.”

“Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth.”

—Machiavelli

“Mistakes of ambition:

-failing on a big goal

-creating something nobody wants

Mistakes of sloth:

-not attempting a big goal

-consuming instead of creating

Mistakes of ambition teach. Mistakes of sloth comfort.”
