And once you've made a decision,
Stick to it like a Tick!
Regardless of the outcome!
Never second guess yourself!
Never reverse your decision!
This is the precincts, the wellspring of a Strong mind!
Your intuition is your morning Star!
Do not betray it!
#BecomeStoic
The main advantage a child gets from being born into a wealthy family is NOT the extra material resources.
Rather, it is easy access to mentors who can explain how The Game of Power works at the highest levels of the hierarchy.
The fundamental reason why weak men show strong loyalty is to mask their insecurity of not being wanted.
Similar fate befalls the most incompetent employees
Competent men are confident in themselves and only reciprocate selectively.
Women exaggerate their innocence, so they can be loved.
Men exaggerate their villainy, so they can be feared.
Most people are just pretending silently !
Only the stoic ones prevail.
Choose Honour above all else
11. Upgrade your boundaries. More money means more people with access requests. Protect your time, energy and attention more aggressively than you ever did before.
12. Upgrade your giving. Find one cause, one person or one community you can contribute to consistently.
Everyday is always a New Beginning !
But we look at it as a continuation of yesterday.
Just like the ocean comes and goes ,
Carrying with it different waters.
So we must treat each day as a new canvas !
Honour will Come !
You cannot out-think overthinking. Trying to think your way out of overthinking is like trying to put out fire with gasoline. To break the loop, act. Take a small step. Just do something. Clean your room. Wash the dishes. Go for a walk. Declutter your desk. To get out of your head, bring your attention to the present.
Stop beating yourself up: When you make a mistake, say, “Well, that was dumb,” learn from it, and just move on. You don't need to turn every failure into an identity crisis. Own it. Fix it. Keep going.
Humans demand fairness only when they’re losing. When advantage is on their side, they call it merit. When it shifts away, they call it injustice.
Human nature bends morality around incentives; the what’s in it for me .
The wise follows incentives with ethics
