I came across this quote this morning, and wanted to share…

“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it – but all that had gone before it.”

-Jacob Riis, photographer and journalist

My new favorite quote from Tim Ferriss.  Here is how you should respond whenever someone tells you they are worried about what other people think:

“So be bold and don’t worry about what people think.  They don’t do it that often anyway.”

I plan to use it often…
