There is an abundance of information out there. Be very selective in choosing where to point your attention.

The quality of the information you consume defines the perimeter of your thoughts.

The internet provides us easy access to a vast collection of information. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. It all depends on where you focus your attention.

We generate good ideas by being exposed to people with good ideas.

We generate bad ideas by being exposed to people with bad ideas.

You read or hear someone else's idea, you process it, add to it, subtract from it, rephrase it, reshape it, then internalise it. Now, it's become a part of your identity.

Whose ideas you choose to read or hear defines the quality of your own ideas. Choose wisely.

Choosing the right source is especially important when starting with a blank slate. When you're learning something new, you don't have a reference point to compare the information to. The first information you are exposed to becomes your reference point.

We overestimate most of our influencers, and underestimate how much we are influenced by them. And we all have influencers, whether we admit this or not.

This doesn't just apply to people, but also to the tools you use. Many of them are designed to make you as ineffective as possible. There are many traps disguised as tools. It's up to you how you use them.

Maintaining a clear mind becomes increasingly more difficult. This ultimately depends on the decisions you make each day. And everyone has these same decisions to make. Those who make the right decisions, come out on top. The rest will be consumed by an abundance of noise.

Clear thinking is an unfair advantage.
