The Goal of This Post
To share bold ideas from the book Hell Yeah or No, by Derek Sivers; on how to live a meaningful and intentional life.
Part 4: Change Perspective
1. Assume You’re Below Average
- Listen more. Ask a lot of questions.
- Admit you’re still learning. Focus on what you need to improve, not your past accomplishments.
Think of yourself as a student, and your current actions as just practice.
—
2. Everything is Your Fault
- You are the person who made things happen, made a mistake, and can learn from it.
- You are in control and there’s nothing to complain about.
Think of every bad thing that happened to you, and imagine that you happened to it.

3. Love Being Wrong
- When you’re wrong is when you learn.
- When you’re lost is where you go somewhere unexpected.
If we’re not surprised, we’re not learning.

4. What Are The Odds Of That?
- Everything is a coincidence.
- Life feels more amazing if it has no meaning. Beautifully random.
