- Be irrationally passionate & patient - A great mix to have is some who is Curious, Applies & Adapts ([[Jim Mellon]]) - When you help someone, you help everyone - With great power, comes great responsibility - Don't aim to be the best, be the only. (See more from: [[Kevin Kelly]]) - The very best don’t have to turn it on. It’s always on. They have to turn it off. - Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest…The more you know, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more the opportunity - it is very much like compound interest. - All success is a lagging indicator. Focus on the [[General Market Direction]] and quality of inputs - Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done. - What does not move is dead. Motion equals life, possibilities, keep moving. - Need for certainty is the greatest disease the mind faces. - Mask newness, change in tradition – embrace the old, while peddling the new. - "Your personal experiences with money make up maybe 0.00000001% of what's happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world works" - [[Morgan Housel]] - It's not how much you have. It's the difference between what you have and what you spend. If you have more than you spend, you're rich. If you live cheaply, it's easy to be free. - "Obvious to you, amazing to others" Don't stop from sharing something just because you think it's obvious. There's always someone one step behind on the journey who will appreciate the insights. - there is a difference between being rational and being reasonable, irrational decisions might be reasonable sometimes - [[Your entire life will change when you]] - Bureaucracies make everyone feel productive while doing very little useful work. - Intensity is common, consistency is rare. - Focused people eliminate options, not accumulate them. Warren Buffett exemplifies this - he's made his fortune by carefully selecting a few investments and sticking with them for decades, ignoring thousands of other opportunities. Without a focus, everything becomes a distraction. - When you think something's impossible, consider this: people who achieve extraordinary things are willing to endure what others won't. Take SpaceX. In 2002, most experts said private companies couldn't build orbital rockets. Musk accepted years of failure and ridicule that others wouldn't. **What you call impossible is often just pain you're unwilling to endure.** - [[Sharpening your analytical thinking]] - [[The problem is not you - it’s where you are standing]] - [[The difference between good vs great people]] - [[First Who, Then What]]
