More quotes by Tim Ferriss

Tim Ferriss
Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.
Tim Ferriss
For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.
Tim Ferriss
Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference.
Tim Ferriss
People who avoid all criticism fail. It's destructive criticism we need to avoid, not criticism in all forms.
Tim Ferriss
Short, sweet, and to the point. Clear writing, and therefore clear commands, comes from clear thinking. Think simple.
Tim Ferriss
Effectiveness is doing the things that get you closer to your goals. Efficiency is performing a given task (whether important or not) in the most economical manner possible. Being efficient without regard to effectiveness is the default mode of the universe.
Tim Ferriss
