Note on Mitchell Hashimoto on X: 'I Can’t Stress Enough How Little an Idea Matters Compared to the Agency of the People Executing the Idea. I Have Had the Privilege of Knowing and Sometimes Even Working With Some of the Most Successful People (By Various Metrics). The Difference Between Mediocre and Excellent' / X via Mitchell Hashimoto

I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.

I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that.

Action is the main difference between people.
