A speaker argues that thinking in longer time horizons unlocks bigger achievements. Plan for 12 months and secure financial stability for life. Think in decades and reach the top 1%. Think in a lifetime and your work might change the world after you're gone.
If you can wait a year, you can make a ton of money. Like, if you can do something for 12 months, you cannot need for financial goodness pretty much for the rest of your life. I'm not saying you're gonna be hella rich, but you're not gonna need for anything if you can wait 12 months. If you can wait a decade, you're going to be above the 1%. If you can wait 10 years for an outcome, be able to do the doing without seeing the result for 10 years, you will be able to be above any— most achievement of most people. And if you can wait a lifetime, and you don't even need to see the result of your doing this even while you are alive, but know that it may get done after you pass, then I, I believe that you can change the world. And I mean that. And so I think that if people can just extend the time horizon that they're measuring themselves on, they can just do so much more.
