2. The Getting Rich Quadrant — Simple secret of getting rich that is available to all is — start early, spend less than you earn, and invest that surplus well for the long run by Safal Niveshak (Translated from Hindi means Successful Investor)
3 on Wisdom 🧠🗣
- “Invest in Yourself” by Naval Ravikant. Naval is most millennial’s favourite, mine included. Take accountability & have a founders mentality he says.
Judgment takes experience. It takes a lot of time to build up. You have to put yourself in positions where you can exercise judgment. That’ll come from taking on accountability — Naval Ravikant
2. 11 Reasons Not to Become Famous (or “A Few Lessons Learned Since 2007”) any Tim Ferriss.Amazing read and something I always think in this rat race called life. Ive seen several successful people living brilliant lives by “Laying Low”
I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: ‘try being rich first.’ See if that doesn’t cover most of it. There’s not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job. . . . The only good thing about fame is that I’ve gotten out of a couple of speeding tickets. I’ve gotten into a restaurant when I didn’t have a suit and tie on. That’s really about it — Tim Ferriss
