Naval Ravikant's Laws
I'm currently reading "Tools of Titans" by Tim Ferris and came across this gem!
For those who don't know Naval Ravikant: He is the founder and chairman of AngelList. He is also an early state tech VC and an all round awesome human being.
Naval Ravikant's Laws:
Be present above all else
Desire is suffering (Buddha)
Anger is a hot coal that you hold in your hand while waiting to throw it at someone else (Buddhist saying)
Reading (learning) is the ultimate meta-skill and can't be traded for anything else
All the real benefits in life come from compound interest
Earn with your mind, not with your time
99% of all effort is wasted
Total honesty at all times. It's almost always possible, to be honest, & positive
Praise specifically, criticize generally (Warren Buffet)
Truth is that which has predictive power
Watch every thought. (Always ask 'Why am I having this thought)
All greatness comes from suffering
Love is given, not received
Enlightenment is the space between your thoughts
Mathematics is the language of nature
Every moment has to be completed in and of itself
