Jim Rohn once quoted, “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons .” Discipline is a complete must to achieve a healthy and balanced life.

Såg just detta på LinkedIn av en deltagare från The Do-Lectures som höll event i helgen, där en Lucy Gannon sa:
‘Don’t aim for success. Aim for joy. It will outlast the fame and money and the busyness. It will remain when everything else has gone. It will fill your soul as you look back on life, and as you look forward to eternity.’

The best measure of wealth is what you have minus what you want. (By this measure, some billionaires are broke.) The most valuable personal finance asset is not needing to impress anyone.
– Morgan Housel
The fastest way to get rich is to go slow.

A lot of people like making money more than they enjoy having money. The change, not the accumulated amount, is the thrill.
– Morgan Housel
“You retard socially and emotionally the moment you become famous. Your experience of the world is never the same.” The same may be true – and far more common – for those who become wealthy.
– Matt Damon
The market is rational but investors play different games and those games look irrational to people playing a different game.
– Morgan Housel
Past performance increases confidence more than ability.
– Morgan Housel
Happiness is the gap between expectations and reality, so the irony is that nothing is more pessimistic than someone full of optimism. They are bound to be disappointed.
– Morgan Housel
The most important decision most people will ever make is whether, when, and whom to marry. But that topic is never taught in school. It can’t be – everyone’s different, and you can’t reduce it to a formula or a statistic.
– Morgan Housel
I’ve often wondered how many personal bankruptcies and financial troubles were caused by spending that brought no joy to begin with. It’s a double loss: not only are you in trouble, but you didn’t even have fun getting there.
– Morgan Housel
Nothing leads to success like unshakable faith in one big idea, and nothing sets the seeds of your downfall like an unshakable faith to one big idea.
The bust is only dangerous if you depend on the boom.
– Morgan Housel
“Reality will pay you back in equal proportion to your delusion.”
– Will Smith
Every five to seven years people forget that recessions occur every five to seven years.
Many people check their portfolios every day but their blood pressure every few years, if even that.
“It’s good to have people in your life who you don’t want to disappoint.”
– Buffett
Not caring about temporary things, and obsessing over permanent things, is underrated.
– Morgan Housel
Economies run in cycles but people forecast in straight lines.
– Morgan Housel
Price is what you pay, value is whatever you want Excel to say.

“Men resist randomness, markets resist prophecy.”
– Maggie Mahar
People tend to be obsessed with harm posed by others (terrorism, crime) while oblivious to much greater self-inflicted harms (poor diet, no exercise).
– Morgan Housel
We underestimate the importance of control. Camping is fun, even when you’re cold. Being homeless is miserable, even when you’re warm.
– Morgan Housel
In school they tell you your paper must be a minimum of five pages long. In the real world you have five seconds to catch someone’s attention before they’re bored and move on.
– Morgan Housel
There is an “ideal” net worth for everyone, when money not only stops bringing pleasure but becomes a social liability.
– Morgan Housel
“If you only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”
– Montesquieu
Good marketing wins in the short run and good products win in the long run.

Three legal investment strategies: Be smarter than others, be luckier than others, be more patient than others. That’s the whole list.
– Morgan Housel
The most productive hour of your day often looks the laziest. Good ideas rarely come during meetings – they come while going for a walk, or sitting on the couch, or taking a shower.
– Morgan Housel
Nothing destroys relationships – in love and careers – like being needy.
– Morgan Housel
Schools are good at measuring intelligence but not great at measuring passion, endurance, and character, which tend to be more important than intelligence in the long run.
– Morgan Housel
The majority of what you know comes from the experiences you’ve had and the people you’ve met, both of which are largely out of your control.
– Morgan Housel
Average performance sustained for an above-average period of time leads to extraordinary performance. This is true not just in investing but careers, relationships, and parenting.
– Morgan Housel
I recently came across something called the rule of thirds: One-third of days you should feel amazing. One-third of days should feel OK. One-third of days should be crappy. That’s a good, balanced, realistic life.
– Morgan Housel
The same traits needed for huge success are the same traits that increase the odds of failure. We should be careful praising winners or criticizing failures, because they often made similar decisions with different degrees of luck.
– Morgan Housel
Every generation is disappointed in their kids, partly because things typically get better over time, and you become resentful as you see younger generations bypassing problems you had to
overcome.
– Morgan Housel
A good test when reading the news is to constantly ask, “Will I still care about this story in a year? Two years? Five years?”
– Morgan Housel
A good bet in economics: the past wasn’t as good as you remember, the present isn’t as bad as you think, and the future will be better than you anticipate.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

När vi upplever elakhet måste vi visa medkänsla och förståelse för att hen lider inombords. Medkänsla och förståelse omvandlar ilska till kärlek.
En genuin upplevelse är bekvämlighetens motsats.

Oh.
Som generalist gillar jag denna skarpt.
(Ping @Caspian på denna - skulle tro den e right up your alley too!)
Sen kanske jag är bättre på change a diaper, design a building, write a sonnet, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, cook a tasty meal än plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, program a computer, fight efficiently och die gallantly har jag inte kommit till än. Får hoppas det dröjer ett tag till.
Balance accounts kan jag nog göra om jag verkligen måste men lejer med glädje ut det.

"Peace is found in acceptance:
Accept imperfection.
Accept uncertainty.
Accept uncontrollable."
Tänkte att det skulle passa bra här där många vill ha full kontroll ner till sista decimalen i en okontrollerbar värld.
