You are as big as the things that make you angry.
At a restaurant do you order what you know is great, or do you try something new? Do you make what you know will sell or try something new? Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met? The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive, but aim for 1/3.
You will be judged on how well you treat those who can do nothing for you.
90% of everything is crap. If you think you don’t like opera, romance novels, TikTok, country music, vegan food, NFTs, keep trying to see if you can find the 10% that is not crap.
When you don’t know how much to pay someone for a particular task, ask them “what would be fair” and their answer usually is.
Cultivate 12 people who love you, because they are worth more than 12 million people who like you.
没人会和你自己一样对你所拥有的东西印象深刻。(Morgan Housel《金钱心理学》里面的一句话,可以理解为禀赋效应:即,由于情感上的偏见,人们在自己已经拥有的东西上比尚未获得的东西拥有更大的价值)
No one is as impressed with your possessions as you are.
Never use a credit card for credit. The only kind of credit, or debt, that is acceptable is debt to acquire something whose exchange value is extremely likely to increase, like in a home. The exchange value of most things diminishes or vanishes the moment you purchase them. Don’t be in debt to losers.
