My Favorite Liar | Zen Moments
-
What made Dr. K memorable was a gimmick he employed that began with his introduction at the beginning of his first class:
“Now I know some of you have already heard of me, but for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar, let me explain how I teach. Between today until the class right before finals, it is my intention to work into each of my lectures … one lie. Your job, as students, among other things, is to try and catch me in the Lie of the Day.”
-
Early in the quarter, the Lie of the Day was usually obvious – immediately triggering a forest of raised hands to challenge the falsehood. Dr. K would smile, draw a line through that section of the board, and utter his trademark phrase “Very good! In fact, the opposite is true. Moving on … ”
As the quarter progressed, the Lie of the Day became more subtle, and many ended up slipping past a majority of the students unnoticed until a particularly alert person stopped the lecture to flag the disinformation.
-
On the days when nobody caught the lie, we all sat in silence, looking at each other as Dr. K, looking quite pleased with himself, said with a sly grin: “Ah ha! Each of you has one falsehood in your lecture notes. Discuss amongst yourselves what it might be, and I will tell you next Monday. That is all.”
-
- “Experts” can be wrong, and say things that sound right – so build a habit of evaluating new information and check it against things you already accept as fact.
- If you see something wrong, take the initiative to flag it as misinformation.
- A sense of playfulness is the best defense against taking yourself too seriously.
And while my knowledge of the Economics of Capital Markets has faded in time, the lessons that stayed with me were his real legacy:

Other players are becoming gateways, too, in a kind of evolutionary advance that will change the way we use the Internet–and alter advertisers’ behavior.

Content, communications, commerce, and search have already ceased to be the unique province of the Big Four. Until recently, only “portals” offered free Web mail. Now MySpace, with its 300 million users, is gearing up to offer e-mail. It also has introduced a toolbar that lets members see “feeds” from friends–accounts of what they’re seeing or buying on other Web sites. As for Facebook, having recently surpassed 200 million active users, it offers e-mail, instant messaging, photo posting, and video sharing. Members can also shop online without leaving the site and in some cases (with amazon.com, for instance) communicate with “friends” from their social network about what they’re buying. Consider it a social variation on the news feeds provided by Google, Yahoo, and MSN. According to technology blog TechCrunch, such features enabled Facebook to add 40 million users in February alone. It now has 276 million unique monthly visitors–double the traffic of any of the Big Four portals, including Google.

The Steve Martin Method
-
“Be so good they can’t ignore you.”
-
Forget all the frustration, the tricks, and the worry. Just focus on becoming good. Really damn good. Outstanding. Unlike anyone who has come before you.
-
Martin’s Two Pieces of Advice for Applying the Method
-
Martin Tip #1: Intellectualize.
-
This restless urge to understand then innovate led him to be outstanding.
-
Understand what the best exemplars in your field do well. Figure out why. Then ask how you can mix, match, and reconstruct these elements into something new and even better.
-
Martin Tip #2: Don’t wander.
-
staying diligent in his interest in the one field he was trying to master; being able to ignore the urge to start working on other projects at the same time.
-
if you don’t saturate your life in a single quest, you’ll dilute your focus to a point where becoming outstanding becomes out of reach.
-
If you’re looking to become a leader in your field, honestly evaluate your talent level. Don’t compare yourself to others who have had success. That’s a path toward frustration. Instead, ask yourself, candidly, whether you’re so good you can’t be ignored. If not, then get back to work.
