Shane Parish: “The greatest threat to results are boredom and impatience. The only way to become good at something is to practice the ordinary basics for an uncommon length of time. Most people get bored. They want excitement. They want something to talk about and no one talks about the boring basics. For example, we know that dollar-cost averaging into an index fund is likely to generate wealth, but cryptocurrency will give us a bigger thrill. Boredom encourages you to stop doing what you know works and do something that might work.”
Sangeet Paul Choudary‘s Building Blocks thesis. “Solutions are developed and consumed as bundles of value. The building blocks approach unbundles a solution into its core building blocks and re-bundles these blocks into diverse solutions…A building blocks approach starts with the universe of possible solutions and determines the common fundamental elements that constitute such solutions. It then goes about standardizing these fundamental elements and commoditizing them. This enables an ecosystem of actors who have the agency to ‘build-on’ using these building blocks to deploy solutions across varied contexts. A building blocks approach allows the ecosystem to build context-specific solutions (which preserve individual context) while leveraging standardized solution components (building blocks).”
