Priorities
Tim Ferris: How to Surf Life: Attorney Turned Surf Guru:

These days, he often sees his former self in the under-joyed and overworked professionals he takes out on the waves. Waiting for the swell, the true emotions come out: “God, I wish I could do what you do.” His reply is always the same: “You can.”

You may want to escape, you may want to plunge deeper: but the opportunity is there. Set your priorities and go.

Biases

A shout-out to Anil Polat for helping me think about the value of biases….
