Cash is king, now cash is king[er]…#Friedberg…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *KM* The Warm-Up: “Most people are too fretful—they worry too much. Success means being very patient, but aggressive when it’s time.” ~Charlie Munger The Core: “Love often shows up at the chapter when you’re ready to unconditionally love yourself, not someone.” ~Valencia “You need ambitious, meaningful goals to pursue, or you will end up constantly overthinking the small things that don’t matter.” ~Orange Book “Make peace with the fact that at times you will want better for people than they want for themselves. You will see they deserve more, and they wont.” ~Maryam Hasnaa “In the long run, it’s not just how much money you make that will determine your future prosperity. It’s how much of that money you put to work by saving it and investing it.” ~Peter Lynch “A fit physique is the ultimate status symbol. It shows that you can commit to one thing for years with slow results. People trust you more because they know you won’t throw them away at the first hint of difficulty. Go to the gym.” ~Dan Koe “Life is so fragile. Our relationships are the fabric that holds everything together. One of the greatest accomplishments we will ever achieve in this life is a healthy loving relationship (platonically and romantically). The people in our lives become part of our legacy.” ~Wavy “The compounding of returns is an incredible miracle of finance and human existence. On top of capital compounding, Flatt believes in personal compounding: ‘Everything you learn is additive, and if you keep at it day after day, you too shall realize a miracle…” ~The Duke of Dirt “Scheduling a meeting: American: ‘I’m having brain surgery tomorrow from 2-5pm but can do 5:15pm tomorrow if that works.’ European: ‘Tomorrow is the 789th anniversary of the local cheesemaker setting up shop in our town, which is a 3-day holiday, but I can do next week.’” ~Chris Blake “When you’re tallying your existing career assets or those you intend to develop, there are two types of assets to keep track of: soft and hard. Soft assets are things you can’t trade directly for money. They’re the less tangible contributors to success: the knowledge and information in your brain, professional connections and the trust you’ve built up in those relationships, skills you’ve mastered, your reputation and personal brand, and your natural strengths.” ~Reid Hoffman & Ben Casnocha, The Startup of You Last Set: “The U.S. banking system remains resilient and on a solid foundation, in large part due to reforms that were made after the financial crisis that ensured better safeguards for the banking industry. Those reforms combined with today’s actions demonstrate our commitment to take the necessary steps to ensure that depositors’ savings remain safe.” ~Joint Statement by Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC, March 12, 2023 Food For Thought: “The way serendipity works is just magical. Things resurfacing after years or very random connections or one meeting on the street being something that changes your life. But I do think you can engineer serendipity in some ways: *Writing about your thoughts | viewpoints online (I’ve met so many incredible people from twitter alone) *Going to small gatherings *Hosting open invite things *Saying hit to someone you admire | someone you’ve just met in a common surrounding. *Doing things tangentially related to other things you’re interested in (e.g., try another sport if you’re into fitness) *Go to things your friends host if you have the energy for it *Going to new environments e.g., trying a new coffee shop, class…” ~@startingfromnix
