Don’t Waste a Master: Stop Asking Questions That Only Make You Look Smart
If you ever get a rare moment with a true master - an enlightened teacher, a world-class marketer, a craftsperson with real depth, there’s an easy way to waste it.
Not by being disrespectful.
Not by being distracted.
But by asking the kind of questions that sound deep… while keeping you exactly the same.

Metrics that matter as you review your year for meaning.
There are many ways to assess if you had a good year. If you're looking at money, it's easy. Just check your bank balance compared to last year and see if you've made progress. But if you're thinking about meaning, you need to ask different questions. Measuring meaning isn't straightforward. You might ask about your contributions, fulfillment, and personal growth. These aren't easy to measure, so you have to use approximations.
Here are nine starter metrics for you to consider

Life is a Go board.
You place your stone. The universe responds.
You can’t control its move -- only your next one. #GoGame #Philosophy

Thoughtful async beats mindless sync..

Daily stand-ups began as a heartbeat for teams. Now they serve as cardio for managers who need to hear a pulse to believe one exists. Everyone recites yesterday’s calendar and pretends it matters.
If a detail fits in the board it does not belong in the circle. Engineers mute the call and keep coding. Product managers polish lines instead of clearing blockers. Momentum stalls while boxes get checked.
Want speed? Scrap the ritual. Post three crisp updates before noon. Send blockers straight to the person who can remove them. Give the rest of the day back to building.

Not everything that’s “too good to be true” is false.
Sometimes, it’s just unusually good and actually true.
Don’t let default doubt become self-sabotage.
If it’s real, receive it. Hold as one.

The ad paradox:
In freemium models, ads are shown to users who chose not to pay.
Which means you’re targeting people who’ve already signaled low willingness to spend.
How is that a win for brands?

AI will make the average look smart.
It’ll turn the lazily smart into crazily smart.
But the smart and committed?
AI will make them unstoppable—rich, impactful, or both.
So the real question isn’t what AI can do.
It’s what you’re bringing to it.
