When you think that it's too hard, remember that in the long run, doing the things that will make you successful is a lot easier than being unsuccessful

I don't think there is such a thing as the perfect system.

Successful people ask for the criticism of others and consider its merit.

People with good work habits have to-do lists that are reasonably prioritized, and they make themselves do what needs to be done. By contrast, people with poor work habits almost randomly react to the stuff that comes at them, or they can't bring themselves to do the things they need to do but don't like to do (or are unable to do).

I believe that one of the best ways of getting at truth is reflecting with others who have opposing views and who share your interest in finding the truth rather than being proven right

I could see that making judgments about people so that they are tried and sentenced in your head, without asking them for their perspective, is both unethical and unproductive. So I learned to love real integrity and to despise the lack of it.

The world is still in deleveraging.
