Career Resources
“I would never tell you to do something, I cannot do myself.”
It’s helped me a lot in my career so far. The amount of times I’ve seen bosses make others do something they would never be able to do on their own and it’s in their dam job description to know these things is insane.
"You can have anything as long as you are willing to sacrifice"
Emphasis on the "anything", not "everything", and on the "sacrifice".
love - separate bank accounts (source: my grandfather)
ethics - imagine your grandmother is going to find out about everything you do, conduct yourself in this manner always (not verbatim, but from an early mentor)
career - if it was easy, everybody would do it and it wouldn't pay so well (early mentor, this helped me realize that the difficulties I face currently are actually evidence that I'm doing something worthwhile)
Why the separate bank accounts? To discipline the wife?
I explain it here: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/who-pays-for-what-splitting-expe…
TLDR: we contribute equally according to income and by having separate bank accounts, the possibilities of arguing over money are greatly diminished
"No glove, no love".
As someone who has slept with well over 200 women , it has prevented me from contracting many diseases - some potentially life threatening - as well as avoid any unwanted pregnancies.
Know what you know and what you don’t know, work tirelessly to close the gap between the two in everything that you do. Very senior guy at my first internship in college told me this and I’ve lived by it since
The two that I live by:
“Success is a function of failure.“
Before hearing this, I imagined all successful people are inherently successful and they have an indescribable trait that makes them successful. I mean, I saw guys get 90s in school effortlessly and so, I assumed that it was true and everyone who fails will fail. However, after hearing this and thinking about how true it is, I realized that success and failure have a relationship where one needs the other to survive.
Today, whenever I fail at something, I always think of those six words and keep doing it again until I eventually improve.
You really do need to be unafraid, and eventually fall in love with, failure to succeed
Don’t take shit from anyone you wouldn’t take advice from
Perspective is everything…change your mind, change your life.
Also, whatever you do just make sure you’re doing it for you.
