You can only be an expert in public
There might be more experienced people than the ones you see online, but if they don’t show their work, it doesn’t matter. Being the expert is inherently a public role.
What will make you happy?
Most people take pride in their relationships and rarely mention wealth or academic accomplishments. This sounds obvious since loneliness is a real problem now. I'd like to see more people talking about how to deal with the current loneliness issue.
If the business depends on you, you own a job
The idea is that we need to be able to systematize the operations of the business so that it can function without the owner. The owner’s job is to learn how to grow the business and ultimately detach themselves from the roles of the technician and the manager.

Prevalence-induced concept change
We find problems even when they are not there. When a specific problem becomes less prevalent, we expand the definition of the problem.
When blue dots became rare, participants began to see purple dots as blue; when threatening faces became rare, participants began to see neutral faces as threatening; and when unethical requests became rare, participants began to see innocuous requests as unethical. This “prevalence-induced concept change” occurred even when participants were forewarned about it and even when they were instructed and paid to resist it. Social problems may seem intractable in part because reductions in their prevalence lead people to see more of them.
