Most of my mistakes in life have been from getting talked out of the thing I already knew to be true.

Gut > Advice.

You distract yourself with consuming, which leads to anxiety.

The antidote to anxiety? Do instead of view.

What if we all did a bit more instead of watched others do?

There’s a saying in Latin "Panem Et circuses," which means "give them bread and circus." It was used by the Roman emperors to distract the masses from short, often horrible, lives under their rule.

The REAL reason why people don’t like courses and prefer funds & investors.

It’s this...

If you did less, you’d make more.

Turns out it's true in many many a way.
