I am surprised no one has mentioned Bill Gates' omnivorous reading habits.Check out his huge reading bag in this video http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50151799n&tag=api

Yeah, but its comparable to the Mark Cuban suggestion I made. 3 Hours a day will get you through that reading bag, but how much action does he take in comparison? Nothing wrong with reading.

True story. I had to learn this after my studies. You have to get shit done or nobody listens to you. But I met many people who just learned this and not much else. They building huges piles of shit and sell them to people who don't know any better.

Good point. At the end of the day the people who build piles of shit may realize to re-iterate their product and stop building shit, but the people that never build shit in the first place don't get shit. ;)

I wish you were right. The problem with successful people is, they think they know everything.

I'll say you're half right on that one, I've met my fair share of those guys and vice versa.

I don't ever think you know should think you know everything. The point of the article is putting stuff out in the field and testing is much better than theorizing, most people just theorize. Imagine a world where I internalized that blog post in my head, we'd never be having this conversation I wouldn't get any insight on my thinking or essay writing abilities. lol
