a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true
A paradox of creativity: Your work is done when it looks so simple that the consumer thinks they could've done it, which means they won't appreciate how hard you worked. A paradox of decision-making: It’s better to choose, commit, and get started instead of waiting for the best possible option, so the correct decisions are actually suboptimal. A paradox of ambition: We’re taught that hard goals are hard and easy goals are easy. In entrepreneurial environments, the inverse is true. Paradoxically, hard goals can be easier to accomplish. A paradox of abundance: Information abundance, like all markets of abundance, is bad for the average person but great for a small number of people. My favorite metaphor is health, where obesity rates and the number of people in incredible shape are both rising.
