"It's so simple: you spend less than you earn. Invest shrewdly. Avoid toxic people and toxic activities. Try to keep learning all your life. And do a lot of deferred gratification. If you do all those things, you are almost certain to succeed. And if you don't, you'll need a lot of luck. And you don't want to need a lot of luck. You want to go into a game where you're very likely to win without having any unusual luck."
— Charlie munger

“The older I get, the more I realize how valuable it is to let go of the anchors holding you back. When someone makes a mistake, forgive them. When someone wrongs you, move on. When someone slights you, let it go. When someone tells you they didn’t mean it, believe them. When someone tries to pull you down, let them go. Moving forward helps a lot and doesn’t cost a thing.”

“Your position determines if you're playing on easy mode or hard more.
Many people unintentionally choose to play on hard mode by not sleeping enough, not eating healthy food, or not investing in their most important relationships.
You can't remove struggle or emotion from life, but you can put yourself in a position where they don't control you.
Consistently doing the simplest things makes the biggest difference.”
