Leap-frogging
is when you skip a step. Following Best Practice is when you look around the
world, see who is doing well and who is doing badly, and pick the best way.
When there are 7.8 Billion people on the planet, being obsessed with uniqueness
is going to severely limit your options. If you are building a bridge, you don’t
want a Contrarian Engineer. When you are stuck with a problem in a particular
context, the world now offers natural experiments of every shape and size if
you pay attention. What happens if you change the story? Micro-ambition is
small, achievable goals. A Daily Practice is the habit of connecting incremental
progress. Pay attention to other people’s stories. Listen. See. Not as a form
of comparison. Instead as Bruce Lee said, to “Absorb what is useful. Discard what
is not. Add what is uniquely your own.” Wealth and knowledge compound. But much
of that knowledge is freely available to frogs who pay attention. Then jump.
