“Sometimes You Have to Write to Figure it Out”

In the address, Pink tells the story of struggling with an essay and taking it to his professor.

This might sound risky and you know what?

It’s really risky.

But the greater risk is to choose false certainty over genuine ambiguity.

The greater risk is to fear failure more than mediocrity.

The greater risk is to pursue a path only because it’s the first path you decided to pursue.

Stop planning what you want to write and just write.

Stop planning what you want to do and just do.
