Future Moves

Life isn’t about the moves people made. Life is about the moves people are going to make. That is where the risk are: The Future Moves.

Dying

Life is a constant process of dying

Arthur Schopenhauer

The final reward of the dead – to die no more

Friedrich Nietzsche

When you are on a journey,
and the end keeps getting further and further away,
then you realise the real end is the journey

Perspective

A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points.

Alan Kay

On apologies

Most “regrets” after one is caught’s aren’t regrets about having committed the action, but regrets about having been caught. Apologies count only when they are spontaneous, coming out of deep principles.

Get action

Get action; do things; be sane; don’t fritter away your time; create; act; take a place wherever you are and be somebody; get action

Theodore Roosevelt

Thesis on Education

In a true bull market…

In a true bull market, the most profitable investor will be your dumbest and most irresponsible friend.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race

Calvin Coolidge

Timing is everything

When we no longer

When we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey

Wendell Berry
