Uma das descobertas mais libertadoras da psicologia é que quase ninguém está prestando atenção em você. Em 2000, pesquisadores de Cornell pediram que estudantes entrassem numa sala cheia vestindo uma camiseta constrangedora. Eles calcularam que metade das pessoas tinha reparado. Na verdade, foi menos de um quarto. Os psicólogos chamaram isso de efeito holofote: você superestima o quanto os outros te observam, porque é o centro do próprio mundo, e acha que é o centro do mundo dos outros. Pense em quantas coisas você deixou de fazer por medo de uma plateia que nunca existiu. Os estoicos já sabiam que a opinião alheia não está sob o seu controle. A ciência só descobriu que, na maior parte do tempo, ela nem existe.

The point of a technological revolution isn't to get there first. It's to make the most of it. It’s not zero sum. The UK didn’t win the Industrial Revolution, everyone did. It’s not zero sum, it’s positive sum

Your attention is the closest thing you have to a steering wheel. Whatever you pay attention to grows, including stuff you'd never choose on purpose. So over time your attention becomes your life.

We like when this happens.
The forward 12-month P/E ratio for the S&P 500 is 17.7. This P/E ratio is below the 5-year average (19.8) and below the 10-year average (19.1). @factset

In 20 years of coaching founders, I’ve learned that the single biggest reason for failure is never starting.

Great book, quick read and, yep, a very high insight-to-word ratio

Two thoughts from Jacques Barzun “No subject of study is more important than reading…all other intellectual powers depend on it.” “...institutional self-reform is rare; the conscience is willing, but the culture is rough.”

Remember.. nobody can make a good decision without context. Hand a brilliant person half the picture and you’ll get a brilliant answer to the wrong question.

If you wish to venture into infinity, Explore the finite in every direction. If you wish to delight in the whole, You must learn to see the whole In the smallest of things. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
"Willst du ins Unendliche schreiten, Geh nur im Endlichen nach allen Seiten. Willst du dich am Ganzen erquicken, So musst du das Ganze im Kleinsten erblicken." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832

Two thoughts from Theodor W. Adorno "Intolerance of ambiguity is the mark of an authoritarian personality." "Vague expression permits the hearer to imagine whatever suits him and what he already thinks in any case."

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead, you relax, and float.
