Wisdom I Pondered This Week
- Exploration is how you discover what works. Persistence is how you make the most of what already works.
- “We all are learning, modifying, or destroying ideas all the time. Rapid destruction of your ideas when the time is right is one of the most valuable qualities you can acquire. You must force yourself to consider arguments on the other side. You have to work hard on it. Ask yourself what are the arguments on the other side. It’s bad to have an opinion unless you can state the other side’s arguments / argue against yourself better than they can. This is a great mental discipline.” — Charlie Munger
- If you have a strong informed opinion, don’t keep it to yourself. Try to help people and make the world a better place. It doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it. What matters is how many people do it.
- The sum of our life’s decisions equate to the person we are on our deathbed.
- “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” — Mark Twain
