At the intersection of curiosity, competence, and character
Being competent is not going to win you any trophies, there is plenty of competition
Curiosity shrinks the area of competition, you can outwork the competent people
When you add your personal spin, you eliminate competition

Supply is inherently low, you control the market. If you can produce the demand, you win
"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your guy, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach ahs never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life" // Steve Jobs
