You’re telling me no, no, no
You don’t want to let your love go!

I made a house of houselessness,
A garden of your going:
And seven trees of seven wounds
You gave me, all unknowing:
I made a feast of golden grief
That you so lordly left me,
I made a bed of all the smiles
Whereof your lip bereft me:
I made a sun of your delay,
Your daily loss, his setting:
I made a wall of all your words
And a lock of your forgetting.

How many mystery writers does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two! One to change the bulb, and the other to give it an unexpected twist at the end!

Nine sources of advantage:

1. Raw talent/intelligence - Some people are just naturally better and smarter.
2. Hard work - Some people work harder.
3. Differentiation - Seeing the world differently. Doing something different. Reading different books. Interpreting the same information differently.
4. Process / Discipline - Creating a process and following it. Working out every day is a great example.
5. Talent Collector - The ability to hire the best people and get the most out of them.
6. Patience - A lack of patience changes the outcome.
7. Ability to take pain - Are you willing to look like an idiot to get better? How much risk are you willing to take, AND, importantly, can you handle the losses?
8. Temperament - Keeping your head when everyone else is losing theirs.
9. Luck

Most of these are within your control.
