All the noise went away. All useless concerns are thrown away. Perfectionism died. The real work started.
For person like me, and at my age - everything stops mattering much when i do my job. Almost anything can wait. I have no time to spread my focus.
Most requests - other’s concerns. It’s good to owe to noone. But it’s good to help a friend in his moment of need. Know your friends and close people - answer them at first possibility. Others can wait.
Someone can act vigorously to grab your attention - unworthy people do not worth it. We want to help good people, and ignore bad ones. We don’t want to listen to bad people - they try to trick us. We want to listen to smart people, search for those who can be trusted.
We examine people - we want to be sure we know difference between a smart person and a trickery person. Ideal system - smart people at the top, bucaneers and scammers at the bottom.
