I'm Scared Of One Man, One Vote

For Every Mistake That You Learn From You Will Save Thousands Of Similar Mistakes In The Future, So If You Treat Mistakes As Learning Opportunities That Yield Rapid Improvements You Should Be Excited By Them. But If You Treat Them As Bad Things, You Will Make Yourself And Others Miserable, And You Won't Grow.

By And Large, Life Will Give You What You Deserve And It Doesn't Give A Damn What You Like. So It Is Up To You To Take Full Responsibility To Connect What You Want With What You Need To Do To Get It, And Then To Do Those Things.

If You Can Stare Hard At Your Problems, They Almost Always Shrink Or Disappear, Because You Almost Always Find A Better Way Of Dealing With Them Than If You Don't Face Them Head On. The More Difficult The Problem, The More Important It Is That You Stare At It And Deal With It.

I Learned That Everyone Makes Mistakes And Has Weaknesses And That One Of The Most Important Things That Differentiates People Is Their Approach To Handling Them. I Learned That There Is An Incredible Beauty To Mistakes, Because Embedded In Each Mistake Is A Puzzle, And A Gem That I Could Get If I Solved It, I.e. A Principle That I Could Use To Reduce My Mistakes In The Future.

I Have A Bad Rote Memory, But I Tend To Learn Through My Experiences. And Then When I Went Into The Markets, And Then Starting My Business As An Entrepreneur, That Affected My Thinking A Lot, Too, Because In Order To Be Successful As Both An Investor And An Entrepreneur, One Has To Be An Independent Thinker And Bet Against The Consensus And Be Right. Because The Consensus Is Built Into The Price, And If You're Not An Independent Thinker In The Markets You Won't Succeed. And If You're Not An Independent Thinker As An Entrepreneur Starting Out, You're Not Going To Bring Anything Special.
