When you are young and naive, you want to revolutionize the world

Experience teaches you that reality is so complicated, and the things so messed up that there is no single idea, formula or model which could suddenly solve everything

Work on yourself, that's the best you can do

[The Stoic Emperor @TheStoicEmperor]

Short-term thinking makes people desperate, ungenerous, impulsive.

Long-term thinking makes people calm, gracious, controlled.

The mighty pyramids and cathedrals were built by civilizations with a long time horizon, so it is with the life of a great man.

Discipline to not be entitled.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

You cannot be skilled at everything. You need to play to your strengths and not imagine you can be great at whatever you put your mind to.

[Ed Latimore @EdLatimore]

The more intelligent you are, the more you consider what can go wrong. This awareness often leads to inaction.

This is why sharp intellect must be married to wicked resolve and indomitable courage to be most effective.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Absence and presence have very primal effects upon us. Too much presence suffocates; a degree of absence spurs our interest. We are marked by the continual desire to possess what we do not have—the object projected by our fantasies.

[The Stoic Emperor @TheStoicEmperor]

A great book can transmit years of wisdom in a few afternoons.

Each sentence conveys meaning with precision and economy.

A great book is a patient teacher and a deathless companion.

A man with a good library has a thousand good mentors.

An easy life is a wasted life.

[Jerol Tan @jeroltan]

A weapon.

[Ed Latimore @EdLatimore]

Nothing like meeting other people who have escaped the matrix.

[Jerol Tan @jeroltan]

Do.

[Jerol Tan @jeroltan]

Less me, more we.

[Jerol Tan @jeroltan]

Speed trumps perfection.

[Jerol Tan @jeroltan]

Reality with Optimistic views.

[The Stoic Emperor @TheStoicEmperor]

Beware the tribalization of truth.

The truth will not always be convenient for any one "side."

The tribe with the most accurate picture of reality has a real advantage.

[Ubermensch @TheCreativeFury]

The real form of courage is to embrace yourself with all of your problems, faults and bad lucks.

Remember that people can prefer to whine over their miseries, but can't dare to improve the existing state of affairs by at least making best use of what they have already got.

[Jerol Tan @jeroltan]

I rather be disciplined than motivated.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

This is really important.

[Jerol Tan @jeroltan]

Respond. Not react.

Don't make serious, long-term decisions with emotions. You know; health, investments, businesses, serious relationships, lifestyle.

Use your brain.

Enjoy the positive emotions AFTER you've made the right choices.
