Google focuses on big impact projects.
If a product isn't meeting standards (like Google+ or Glass), they kill it.
This frees up resources for the dips—the projects they use to dominate markets they're in.
The lesson:
Quit poorly performing projects.
And assign resources where you can win big!

The last path is The Cliff.
It feels rewarding for a time but ends in a sharp collapse.
Gambling addiction is an example.
You lose a bit, and eventually, you lose it all before you realize.
If you're on a cliff, exit immediately!
Only pursue the dips that lead to you becoming your best self.

The second path is a Cul-de-sac.
It's a dead end, comfortable enough to keep you trapped.
An example is a job with no promotion opportunities.
If you're in a cul-de-sac, recognize the dead end and strategically quit.
Only pursue worthwhile dips where you can achieve mastery and success.

Seth presents Zipf's Law:
It says a small number of items or individuals account for large demand or success; the majority gets less.
Ex. Vanilla dominates other flavors in ice cream sales.
So, strive to become the "vanilla" of your field.
