Notes to self

Advice to both my younger and future self on my present-day learnt million-dollar lessons.

  • Short-form content is the death of intellectual curiosity. Refrain from it as much as you can.
  • Read vigorously. People have dedicated their lives to writing down reflections and are often one of the few sources of high-quality opinions out there.
  • Aim to win in multiple facets of life. Four jacks beats high-card and pair of aces.
  • Stay detached to external outcomes and recognition. Possess an internal ego with objective standards.
  • Great ideas come in 1's, 2's, and 3's. Try hard to communicate using them.
  • True wisdom accepts paradoxes. One can be both happy and sad simultaneously.
