Time is suffering if you don't make time your ally.

Make time your ally:
- Leverage the power of compounding
- Use Lindy effect to guide decisions
- Adopt habits that reduce the cognitive load of decisions.

The worst thing you can do is withdraw from the network of friendships and acquaintanceships at home and at work.

If you aren't in the network, nobody is ever going to steer anything your way.

If it's in your control, why do you do it?

If it's in someone else's, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods?

Stupid either way.

Blame no one.

Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage.

People in any organization are always attached to the obsolete

- the things that should have worked but did not,
- the things that once were productive and no longer are.

- Peter Drucker

[Reading.Guru @reading_guru]

The more we 'pay' attention to something annoying, it returns the favour and we 'buy' the feeling of being annoyed.

The more we pay attention to something positive and constructive, the more the world reciprocates the positive feeling back to us.

[Reading.Guru @reading_guru]

Movement is the ultimate status symbol.

To deliver an exceptional customer experience, design for continuous flow and minimum friction.

Most limitations are self limitations.

[Reading.Guru @reading_guru]

In bubbles, 'attractive' morphs into 'attractive at any price.'

In bubbles, infatuation with market momentum takes over from any notion of value and fair price.

Description begins in the writer's imagination, but should finish in the reader's.

[Reading.Guru @reading_guru]

More often than not, people don't have a specific 'calling'. Or if they have one, they are unwilling to compromise on other aspects of life, particularly those involving material comforts.

Ability to simplify leads to mastery.

True masters know what to focus on and what to ignore.
