Stay in Motion

Most people find a way of doing things and stick to it. It’s comfortable. It works. Until it doesn’t.

Jiro Ono, the legendary sushi master, understood this. At 86 years old—after decades of making sushi—he was still refining his craft. Still questioning. Still learning. Jiro Dreams of Sushi isn’t just a documentary about food; it’s about mastery. And mastery isn’t about reaching a destination. It’s about staying in motion.

The best way to ensure you keep growing? Give away what you know. Teach. Share. It’s counterintuitive, but real wisdom isn’t something you protect—it’s something you pass on.

Marcus Aurelius put it simply:

“If you learn a better way, then teach it—if you haven’t, then keep using the one you know.”

Teaching forces you to articulate what you’ve only understood instinctively. It clarifies. It strengthens. It makes you better. And paradoxically, by giving your knowledge away, you don’t become obsolete—you become indispensable. Because now, you’re not just competing. You’re leading.

If you want to stay ahead, don’t hoard your expertise. Share it freely. Stay a step ahead by always running forward—dropping insights behind you like fresh meat to a pack of hungry pursuers.

Keep moving.
