To be stubborn and to be a late adopter \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to wait, the great procrastination and only get things waaaaay later than everyone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
For example, I only recently got my first iPhone ever (after almost a decade of android phones) and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad I waited. iPhone 11 Pro (refurbished) is great \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and I can approach it \u00e2\u20ac\u0153carte blanche\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and appreciate its features without any past baggage. For example I love using Siri and voice dictate. I actually appreciate the iPhone compared to early or mid adopters who take it for granted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Or consider if you were a late adopter for Leica M digital rangefinder or even Yeezy Sneakers. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be able to get it waaaay cheaper than those who jumped on the bandwagon early. Now you can easily get Yeezy sneakers for only $220 (near retail, compared to the $700-800 resellers were asking for). And a used Leica M9, M9-P, or a used Leica M9 Monochrom \u00e2\u20ac\u201d now is the best time to get it (bottom of the depreciation line). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even with Tesla cars, better to get a used Tesla Model S than a brand new Model 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a late adopter, you will filter out 99.9% of the noise. This is a far more efficient way to live, and also more effective as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
