We wouldn't be successful if we didn't have independent thinkers who can argue and then resolve their arguments.
Ray DalioOne of the things meditation gives you is creativity because creativity really comes from the subconscious brain - intuition, imagination - so it's not like you can go there and say, I'm going to go be creative now. Maybe you can, but the real way you get creativity is, you know, you're taking a hot shower and great ideas come to you from the subconscious. Essentially, meditation opens a pipeline between the conscious and the subconscious.
Ray DalioI think the basic problem is that everybody thinks they know what the truth is, and sometimes they're even distorting the truth to make their arguments.
Ray DalioThere is nothing to fear from truth....Being truthful is essential to being an independent thinker and obtaining greater understanding of what is right.
