“When I couldn’t play according to my system, which was based on study and experience, I went in and gambled. I hoped to win, instead of knowing that I ought to win on form.”
-Jesse Livermore
Jealousy & Inspiration
“I realized a long time ago that instead of being jealous you can be inspired and appreciative. It carries more energy to you. That can be an awesome and motivating force that can improve your life if you choose to be inspired and not jealous. One has no benefit whatsoever, the other is an incredible resource for creating momentum and improvement.”
-Joe Rogan
How You Start
“How you start something is very important. Prevention is far better than rehabilitation. Starting right is much easier than correcting course.”
–Benjamin Hardy
Internal Entropy
“Do not run hither and thither and distract yourself by changing your abode; for such restlessness is the sign of a disordered spirit.”
-Seneca The Younger
Thought Seeds
“As a man is taught, so he believes. Thoughts being things, they may be planted like seeds in the mind of the child and completely dominate his mental content.
Given the favorable soil of the will to believe, whether the seed-thoughts be sound or unsound, whether they be of pure superstition or of realizable truth, they take root and flourish, and make the man what he is mentally.”

Ignore The Noise
“When making critical decisions, learn to take your time, ignore the noise, and use your logic and reasoning skills, avoid emotionalizing and be data driven.”
–Chamath Palihapitiya
