There is no shortcut – conviction over convention. Learn, build, share, repeat. P.O’S. Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *DP, JV* The Warm-Up: “Rich people don’t tell you how rich they are. Smart people don’t tell you how smart they are. Honest people don’t tell you how honest they are. The secret is doing more than talking.” ~@wealth_director The Core: “A sign of character is the ability to learn from people you might not like.” ~Shane Parrish “Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.” ~Warren Buffett “Putting yourself in the right place at the right time around the right people is so underrated.” ~@anuatluru “I’m trying to think less about the people who I wish were showing up for me, and more about the ones who are.” ~Michell C. Clark “There are two people in you. The one who talks and the one who listens. The one who talks is always changing. The one who listens is always the same. You are the one who listens.” ~Naval Ravikant “Your ability to release yourself from thigs that no longer serve you has never been selfish; your growth is too important to be holding onto things that promote stagnancy on your journey and lead you away from yourself.” ~Billy Chapata “People who ‘play games’ cant be trusted. It takes courage to say what they mean, and mean what you say…and that builds trust. *No gossip. *They shoot straight. *They’re reliable. 100% will take a straight shooter over someone who just strokes your ego.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “The faster you get rid of your pride, the faster you will get to the life you want. The ‘right’ path is full of mistakes, embarrassing moments, rejections. Be ready to be mocked for a while, but don’t worry, in the end, no one remembers how you got where you are.” ~Orange Book “If you want to be rich, then be kind. It’s hard to create wealth unless you work well with others, and it’s hard to work well with others if you are unlikable. Even if you can do it without kindness, rich jerks end up poor in friendship. You can buy friends, but not good ones.” ~James Clear “Confidence doesn’t make bad outcomes any less likely or good outcomes more likely, it only blinds us to risk. The ego also makes us more concerned with maintaining or improving our perceived position in a social hierarchy than with extending our knowledge or skills.” ~Shane Parrish, Clear Thinking “It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.” ~Mother Teresa “I reply that hatred, theft, adultery, and the like may involve evil according to the common law, in so far as they are done by someone who is obligated by a divine command to perform the opposite act. As far as everything absolute in these actions is concerned, however, God can perform them without involving any evil. And they can even be performed meritoriously by someone on earth if they should fall under a divine command, just as now the opposite of these, in fact, fall under a divine command.” ~William Ockham, Opera Theologica V, p. 352 Last Set: “Embrace every season of life. Yes, acknowledge the hurdles and setbacks. Sit with your pain. Feel your sadness. But when you’re ready, redirect your attention towards the empowering, the encouraging, and the inspiring. Train your mind to hold onto the good things.” ~Michell C. Clark Food For Thought: “Markets are ultimately set by demand and supply; inflation is not something that magically comes from above. It comes from our behavioral factors. So I think in a sense, we have to give up expecting somebody up there to give us answers. The answers are in the market…And I think that if nothing else in the last 3 years, we recognized wherein experts and markets diverge, it’s the experts who are usually wrong at every turn in this role. I have a new respect for markets after the last 3 years in spite of all their mistakes and their foibles in terms of coming to a judgment on the big issues of the day.” ~Aswath Damodaran - Making Sense of the Market Pt.2, on Invest Like the Best w/ Patrick O’Shaughnessy
