The most valuable skill in the world:
Decision-making.
I studied how Naval and Elon Musk make decisions.
Here's how you make decisions like world-class entrepreneurs:
When your working life rewards you, it’s easy to ratchet up the complexity: homes, cars, travel, possessions etc.
I have found that all that complexity comes at the sake of your most fleeting asset: your time. Instead of building things, all of a sudden you’re dealing with minutiae and logistics. Instead of talking mostly to engineers, you’re talking mostly to non-engineers. The building stops…the business of managing self inflicted complexity begins.
It’s worth noting that the best players in the game (Buffett, Elon) have kept their life extremely basic, almost monastic/nomadic, as success ratcheted them ever higher.
I think it’s the biggest secret hiding in plain sight:
When the world upgrades your status, downgrade your complexity.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
MrBeast shares the wisest piece of advice he’s ever been given
“Honestly you just really are who you surround yourself with. The five people you hang around the most are gonna decide who you’ll be”
“If you wanna be a YouTuber, hang out with other people who wanna be YouTubers. If you spent the next two years with me and my four smart friends that I talk to about YouTube a lot, you would become a YouTuber, you just would”
“You just are who you surround yourself with and you really gotta internalise that and the sooner you do, the quicker you’ll achieve what you want in life”
