--------------Judgement-----------

If you want to get rich over your life in a deterministically?

predictable way, stay on the bleeding edge of trends and?

study technology, design, and art———become really good at something.

Judgment is underrated,hard work is really overrated. How hard you?

work matters a lot less in the modern economy.

In an age of leverage, one correct decision can win everything.

The direction you’re heading in matters more than how?

fast you move, especially with leverage.?

Basically, if someone is using a lot of fancy words and a lot of?

big concepts, they probably don’t know what they’re talking about.(lol...)

★★★The smartest people can explain things to a child. If you can’t?

explain it to a child, then you don’t know it.?

The really smart thinkers are clear thinkers. They understand the basics at

a very, very fundamental level.If you can’t rederive倒推導(dǎo) concepts from the basics?

as you need them, you’re lost. You’re just memorizing.?

The number one thing clouding us from being able to see reality?

is we have preconceived(先入為主的/預(yù)想的) notions觀念 of the way it should be.

One definition of a moment of suffering is ★“the moment when?

you see things exactly the way they are.” This whole time, you’ve?

been convinced your business is doing great, and really, you’ve?

ignored the signs it’s not doing well. Then, your business fails,

and you suffer because you’ve been putting off reality. You’ve?

been hiding it from yourself.

The hard thing is seeing the truth. To see the truth, you have?

to get your ego out of the way because your ego doesn’t want?

to face the truth. The smaller you can make your ego, the less?

conditioned you can make your reactions, the less desires you?

can have about the outcome you want, the easier it will be to?

see the reality.

The problem isn’t reality. The problem is their desire is colliding抵觸 with?

reality and preventing them from seeing the truth, no matter how much you say it.

It’s actually really important to have empty space. If you don’t?

have a day or two every week in your calendar where you’re?

not always in meetings, and you’re not always busy, then you’re?

not going to be able to think.

★★It’s only after you’re bored you have the great ideas. It’s never?

going to be when you’re stressed, or busy, running around or?

rushed. Make the time. (每周留出兩段能讓你思考的空余時間)

SHED YOUR IDENTITY TO SEE REALITY：

this is a habit I probably picked up when I was a toddler trying to get?

my parent’s attention. Now I’ve reinforced it and reinforced it, and?

I call it a part of my identity. Does it still serve me? Does it?

make me happier? Does it make me healthier? Does it make?

me accomplish whatever I set out to accomplish?

★★★creating identities and labels locks you in and keeps you from seeing?

the truth.

Facebook redesigns. Twitter redesigns. Personalities, careers, and teams also?

need redesigns. ★There are no permanent? solutions in a dynamic system.

LEARN THE SKILLS OF DECISION-MAKING：

The moment you tell somebody something dishonest, you’ve lied to yourself.

Then you’ll start believing your own lie, which will disconnect you? from?

reality and take you down the wrong road.

I never ask if “I like it” or “I don’t like it.” I think “this is what it?

is” or “this is what it isn’t.”

If you have a criticism of someone, then don’t criticize the?

person———criticize the general approach or criticize the class?

of activities. If you have to praise somebody, then always try?

and find the person who is the best example of what you’re?

praising and praise the person, specifically. Then people’s egos?

and identities, which we all have, don’t work against you. They?

work for you.

With modern technology and large workforces and capital, our decisions?

are leveraged more and more.

If you can be more right and more rational, you’re going to?

get nonlinear returns in your life.?
