Do not use your energy to worry. Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing and do not let people bring you down.
Study, think, create and grow. Teach yourself and teach others.
—Professor Richard Feynman
"We never buy something with a price target in mind. What we look for is certainty. We look at a business and ask is this something which will produce more & more cash over time? If the answer is yes, you don't need to ask many questions." -Warren Buffett
"I read everything: Annual reports, 10-Ks, 10-Qs, biographies, histories, five newspapers a day. On airplanes I read the instructions on the backs of the seats. Reading is key.
Reading has made me rich over time."
— Warren Buffett
You must read. Read nonfiction. Read fiction. Read history. Read philosophy. Read psychology. Read banned literature. Read poetry. Read about new technology. Read biography. Read memoir. Read on economics. Read on finance. Reread what you have already read. Read. Reflect. Repeat.
A slow life is a way of being. That's who you already are. The quiet, deep, introspective person. The one who enjoys being alone. Who loves reading. Going for long walks. Staring at walls. Deep conversations. Who loves building a life of meaning and purpose. Slow life is a mirror. It reveals you. It strips away the pressure, the performance, the need to keep up... It's a way of life that aligns you with your soul.
This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”
