Essential principles of investing have largely remained unchanged over history of organized investing. What has changed is the interpretation and application by investors, as deemed convenient or expedient at a particular point in time.

Steve Jobs in 1990: Interpersonal networked computing (through great software and UX) will give rise to decentralized orgs that allow people at every level work together remotely
Crazy how Jobs could see clearly 30 yrs into the future!

A real reason so many people today are miserable is because they have never known the satisfaction of having built anything with their own hands, created anything worthwhile. Never done a day of unequivocally good work. https://t.co/xCsv1CD9Om
Note that impact is about what’s happened in the past, competence is about who you are in the present, and potential is what you can do as a leader in the future. https://t.co/cxCUxhLLW2
The 10 most important 2 letter words you'll ever hear:
"If it is to be, it is up to me."
6/ Person A is low agency.
Person B is high agency. https://t.co/7XTfGm87h8
8/ What are Satisficing Brands?
Most of the time we prioritize safety over perfection. We'll pay a premium not only for ‘better,’ but for ‘less likely to be terrible.’
When we buy Satisficing Brands, we buy safety and assurance.
Beloved clients, you want agencies to do business in a new way. Understandable. Then start paying your agencies and freelancers in a new way. Stop with the 30, 60, 90 or even 120 pay periods. Why is it that everything about business is faster except how you pay people?
@johncutlefish This is why I ask people to walk me *backwards* through a timeline of the last major thing a team did: much harder to spin the truth in reverse chronological order.
You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.
You will be judged, whether you like it or not.
You will judge, whether they like it or not.
You can shut mouths, not thoughts. Unless you know how to do that.
20. Too much information increases confidence not accuracy.
7/ Generalists don’t give you growth (they’re great at experimentation though).
Real growth kickstarts when specialists are brought on to do killer execution on things that your company can benefit most from.
@danslee My fave tutor at uni had a great journalism 101 lesson: “If someone says it’s raining & another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the f**king window and find out which is true.”
More importantly, if Deloitte is a contractor for the FBI and is covered by the Patriot Act, then Deloitte as only company allowed to audit #Aadhaar India's centralised biometric data base, is also obliged to hand it over to the US government! https://t.co/wkxGCSSqDR https://t.co/94LQfeouJw
9/ Get early customers on chat. A few reasons: (1) a great way to get them to follow through on using the product because you can hold their hand & (2) invaluable way to get feedback & troubleshoot their issues to fix later in the product. I did this w/ the first 200+ customers.
"What can we be certain of from history? That human beings have been wrong innumerable times, by vast amounts, and with catastrophic results. Yet today there are still people who think that anyone who disagrees with them must be either bad or not know what he is talking about."
@dhanyarajendran @CMOTamilNadu @RamaAIADMK Will surely do soon !
The government’s pen IS a sword.
“The pen is mightier than the sword.”
Often I hear people say, "Vision unites people." I disagree. Vision divides people. It separates the people who will from the ones who won't--and that's a good thing.
One of my Prof used to say your experience should be 1+1+1... and not 1*1*1...
You should add something every year and not repeat the same thing every year.
The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably live with. https://t.co/BmtFQyTZ9M
If you don’t reflect on what you’ve done, you’re doomed to repeat it.
This can go on for YEARS.
I have found more valuable investment advice from the "Tao te Ching" by Lau Tzu than from many books specifically about investing. I find that by broadly reading outside of your field, you often find incredible insights unseen in books specific to your field.
