Obsession beats discipline - go all-in on your craft until you either die or get reborn.
Polarizing Takes for Engagement
Why It Works
Provocative statements generate strong reactions - both agreement and disagreement drive engagement. People share hot takes to signal their own position. Memorable beats forgettable.
How to Execute
Identify beliefs you hold strongly that contradict mainstream
State them declaratively without hedging
Use specific examples and numbers when possible
Let controversy drive engagement rather than seeking approval
Double down when challenged rather than backing off
When It Fails
When takes are provocative without substance. When you cannot defend your position. When controversy becomes your only content type and you lose credibility.
Real Example
“Going to college is my biggest regret. Wasted 5 years of peak energy 18-23. Strong statement that generates massive engagement from both sides.”
