Don't worry about looking good - worry about achieving your goals.

I notice a difference from the moment I meditate.

To make money in the markets, you have to think independently and be humble.

You'll see that excuses like "That's not easy" are of no value and that it pays to "push through it" at a pace you can handle. Like getting physically fit, the most important thing is that you keep moving forward at whatever pace you choose, recognizing the consequences of your actions.

That's what I mean by radical truth. I mean accepting reality.

I'd like to be clear that a number of people find me intolerable, and they don't hesitate to say so - which they and I cherish.

I have a bad rote memory, but I tend to learn through my experiences. And then when I went into the markets, and then starting my business as an entrepreneur, that affected my thinking a lot, too, because in order to be successful as both an investor and an entrepreneur, one has to be an independent thinker and bet against the consensus and be right. Because the consensus is built into the price, and if you're not an independent thinker in the markets you won't succeed. And if you're not an independent thinker as an entrepreneur starting out, you're not going to bring anything special.
