Best @naval quotes 2024

( "don't call me a guru" edition):

1. “Don’t take anything I write as a sign that I’m some peaceful Zen Buddha inside—I’m not. My mind still runs out of control. I’m just a crazy person trying to be a little less crazy, observing my own craziness.”

2. “It’s better that there is no overarching singular meaning of life but personal interpretations.”

3. “The tools for learning are abundant. It’s the desire to learn that’s scarce.”

4. “Where you live is the single biggest decision you make.”

5. “I, and I alone, am responsible for everything I think and feel.”

6. “Using big words is the mark of a charlatan to explain simple things in a complex way.”

7. “If I look back on my life, almost everything great that I’ve managed to pull off has come from following my own natural intellectual obsessions.”

8. “Anyone who is highly truth-seeking will eventually find their way to Eastern philosophy.”

9. “One of the ways that I learn what I think is by saying it, and one of the ways that I learn what I know is by tweeting it.”

10. “The modern struggle is to navigate through fruits of abundance that are wrecking you.”

11. “If you don’t want to be my friend, call me a guru.”

After I got my MBA from Harvard, I bought an HVAC company with a personal guarantee.

They were doing $55M in sales and $7M in profit.

I hired a NY agency to rebuild the website.

I mandated the whole company use Notion.

I gave everyone a 25% raise.

I taught the team about mental models.

I encouraged all employees to listen to the All In podcast.

I hired a Chief of Staff.

I installed a cold plunge and a sauna in the break room.

And guess what?

We lost $12M last year.

When life gives you lemons, lean back and squeeze that shit into your eyeballs. Then glare back at life and say, "that all you got, motherfucker?"
