How To Be Successful - Sam Altman

Here are 13 thoughts about how to achieve outlier success. Some of my favourites:

Compound yourself - Compounding is magic. Look for it everywhere. Exponential curves are the key to wealth generation.
Make it easy to take risks - It’s often easier to take risks early in your career; you don’t have much to lose, and you potentially have a lot to gain. Look for small bets you can make where you lose 1x if you’re wrong but make 100x if it works.
Be willful - Ask for what you want. You usually won’t get it, and often the rejection will be painful. But when this works, it works surprisingly well.
