Warren Buffett's grandfather once wrote a letter to his children emphasising the importance of liquidity and an 'emergency fund'. Must read for everyone. Also, seems like prudent financial behavior has got a lot to do with one's genes.

@PIAlmanack “For your information, I might mention that there has never been a Buffett that has left a very large estate...” Never let family history or circumstances hold you back!

you won’t find Munger in the files

My brother is a scientist & regularly publishes papers. He has a nemesis on the other side of the world who doggedly publishes objections to his analyses. Few of us get to achieve this kind of professional beef in the 21st century & I find this enviable

One of the greatest cheat codes in life is to never get offended. Train yourself to have a thick skin. Don't take things personally. Let others disagree with you. Being easily offended means you're easily manipulated. Want more peace? Avoid getting offended.

A father's role is to prepare you for a world that won't care. A mother's role is to remind you you're worth caring about anyway.

“Never, ever, tell anyone about your problems. 90% of the people really don't care. The other 10% are glad you have them.” —Charlie Munger

Most people quit right before competence becomes visible, because the early stage feels like humiliation in private. You look stupid, you move slow, you make mistakes, and nobody applauds. Mastery belongs to the person who can keep showing up while his ego begs for an exit.

When Carl Jung said: “No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.”

You won’t feel sharp every day. But you don’t need to. You need to remove the steps that require thinking. Wake, move, eat, execute. Turn the day into a flowchart, not a guessing game. One systemized day under fatigue is more powerful than five motivated ones.

Charlie Munger on the importance of having a long attention span: "Having a long attention span and the ability to concentrate on one thing for a long time is a huge advantage." “I did not succeed in life by intelligence. I succeeded because I have a long attention span.”

"You must want. That is the crucial thing. Before you have, you must want to have. And to want to have means to be able, first, to perceive what it is you want; secondly, how to discipline and organize yourself in order to possess the things you want" - Lee Kuan Yew

I heard someone say: "The amount of good things in your life depends on your ability to notice them." I can't see it any other way now.

They arrested me and tried to frame me for human trafficking but I wasnt in the Epstein files.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no version of yourself you can present to the world that will protect you from criticism, so just do what you have to do.

Thomas Edison: By endurance we conquer “His irrepressible enthusiasm was infectious. At such moments he would say proudly: The trouble with other inventors is that they try a few things and quit. I never quit until I get what I want!”

Warren Buffett: "My dad was always very forgiving of my misbehavior. He'd just say, 'I know you can do better.' That was very powerful stuff — because I could do better. I knew it and he knew it. It's nice to have somebody have faith in you."

I'm increasingly convinced that 99% of success is just the ability to outlast uncertainty. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.
