This isn't just a feel-good quote from Stephen McCranie; it is the fundamental blueprint of human achievement. McCranie, an author and illustrator known for his work on Space Boy, didn't write this to be "inspirational." He wrote it because, in the creative world, the only way to find a diamond is to dig through miles of dirt. If you aren't failing, you aren't moving. You’re just standing still and calling it "planning."

Did you know you can train your AI? Most modern tools (like ChatGPT or Gemini) now have a Memory feature or "Custom Instructions." This is a game-changer. If you don't use this, every time you open a new chat, the AI has amnesia. It doesn’t know who you are, what you do, or what you care about. You have to explain context all over again. Exhausting. Instead, you need to feed it context so it "remembers" you across conversations.

We think "Survival of the Fittest" means being the Alpha. The strongest. The smartest. But Darwin actually said: "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." In 2025, "what you know" matters less than "how fast you can unlearn it."
