14 life lessons I wish I learned earlier.
I hope these help you as much as it would've helped me.
1) You make better decisions and learn more by assuming you're dumber than everybody else.
2) The hardest respect to earn is one's own.
3) If you want to control what people think, control what they say.
4) You get more out of reading one book that great 5 times, than out of reading 5 mediocre books.
5) Most champions do not have something you do not have. They lack something you have.
6) Goodwill compounds faster than money.
7) You're going to die, if anybody cares then, nobody cares now. Do what you want.
8.) Extraordinary accomplishments come from doing ordinary things for an extraordinary period of time.
9) If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.
10) Be willing to negotiate everything except for your values.
11) Humility does not come from lowering your regard for yourself but from increasing your regard for others.
12) The happy man has a thousand wishes. The sad man has one.
13) Failure leads to learning. Learning leads to success. Success leads to complacency. Complacency leads to failure.
14) I would pay any amount of money to make obvious truths real for me.
