In a world where you are told to “build your brand,” commit yourself to a cause instead.
In a world where people are constantly busy, be productive instead.
In a world where posing is applauded, work when no one is watching instead.
In a world where spectacle is celebrated, create meaning instead.
In a world where cynicism is ubiquitous, be a believer instead.
In a world where fame is disconnected from expertise, be skillful instead.
Being a contrarian can feel lonely sometimes. But, the rewards matter.
