성공과 행복을 향한 흔들리지 않는 마인드셋 핸드북
1. 서문: 성공의 지도를 다시 그리는 법
우리는 모두 더 나은 삶과 성공을 꿈꾸며 저마다의 길을 걷는다. 때로는 정해진 규칙을 따르기도 하고, 때로는 남들을 좇아가기도 한다. 하지만 진정한 성공은 남이 만들어 놓은 길을 걷는 것이 아니라, 오직 자신만이 걸을 수 있는 길을 찾는 데 있다. 이 핸드북은 당신이 오직 당신만이 될 수 있도록 돕는 몇 가지 중요한 원칙들을 담고 있다. 이 원칙들은 단순히 외부의 성공을 넘어, 내면의 평화와 지속 가능한 성장을 위한 지혜로 나아가게 할 것이다. 당신의 삶을 근본적으로 바꾸고 싶다면, 이 핸드북의 내용에 귀 기울여 보기를 바란다.
2. 첫 번째 원칙: 산을 내려올 용기, 재시작의 힘
우리 삶은 하나의 거대한 산을 오르는 것과 같다. 당신은 평생을 바쳐 산의 3분의 2 지점까지 올라갔다. 정상은 눈앞에 보이지만, 이제껏 걸어온 길로는 더 이상 갈 수 없다는 사실을 깨닫는다. 정상에 가려면 다시 밑바닥으로 내려가 새로운 길을 찾아야 한다. 사람들은 대부분 이를 원하지 않는다. 이미 쌓아놓은 시간과 노력이 아깝고, 다시 시작하는 고통을 감수하고 싶지 않기 때문이다. 그러나 가장 위대한 창작자들과 성공한 사람들은 이 고통을 기꺼이 감수한다. 그들은 익숙한 길을 버리고 새로운 길을 모색하는 것을 두려워하지 않는다.
- 초심자의 마음을 가져라: 세상에서 가장 어려운 일 중 하나는 이미 쌓아놓은 경험과 성공을 스스로 부정하고 처음부터 다시 시작하는 것이다. 하지만 팝의 여왕 마돈나, 전설적인 뮤지션 폴 사이먼, U2 같은 밴드들은 새 앨범을 낼 때마다 팬들이 싫어할지라도 완전히 새로운 스타일을 시도하곤 한다. 심지어 완전히 실패하기도 한다. 일론 머스크는 모두가 그를 비웃을 때, 항공 우주 산업이나 전기차 분야처럼 그가 “전혀 자격이 없다”고 여겨지는 분야에 뛰어들었다. 이들은 모두 다시 바보가 되기를 두려워하지 않는 **‘초심자의 마음(beginner’s mind)‘**을 갖고 있다. 진정으로 성장하고 싶다면, 정체된 길에 갇히지 말고 언제든 처음으로 돌아갈 용기를 가져야 한다.
3. 두 번째 원칙: 영감은 덧없다, 즉각적인 행동의 중요성
영감은 신선한 바람과 같아, 당신의 문을 두드릴 때 붙잡지 않으면 곧 사라진다. 블로그 포스트, 트윗, 새로운 아이디어 등 어떤 영감이 떠올랐을 때, ‘나중에 해야지’ 하고 미루다 보면 대부분은 그대로 소멸되어 버린다. 당신의 머릿속에 떠오른 ‘아름답고 강력한 것’은 순간적인 것이다. 그것을 현실로 만들기 위해서는 그 순간을 포착해 즉시 행동해야 한다.
- 망설임은 영감의 적: 영감은 마치 유통기한이 정해진 음식과 같다. 당신이 망설이는 순간, 그 가치는 빠르게 증발한다. 떠오른 아이디어를 글로 쓰고, 영상을 만들고, 코드를 작성하라. 당신이 지금 하지 않으면, 다시는 그 아이디어에 돌아가지 않을 가능성이 크다. 영감이 주는 신성한 불꽃을 잡고, 그 즉시 행동으로 옮겨야만 그 불꽃은 당신의 삶을 밝히는 빛이 될 수 있다.
4. 세 번째 원칙: 행동에 대한 조급함, 결과에 대한 인내심
언제 조급해야 하고, 언제 인내해야 하는지에 대한 질문은 삶의 중요한 철학이다. 이에 대한 명쾌한 답은 **“행동에는 조급하게, 결과에는 인내심을 가지라”**는 것이다.
-
왜 행동에 조급해야 하는가: 당신의 삶은 시시각각 흘러가고 있다. 시간은 계속 사라지는데, 무언가를 미루거나 줄을 서서 기다리거나, 당신의 사명과 무관한 일을 하느라 낭비할 수 없다. 당신의 목표와 관련된 일이라면, 최대한 신속하게 진행해야 한다. 당신의 모든 주의를 기울여 일을 잘 해내되, 동시에 가장 효율적이고 빠르게 끝내야 한다.
-
왜 결과에 인내해야 하는가: 당신의 노력과 행동이 만들어내는 결과는 복잡한 시스템에 얽혀 있다. 시장이 새로운 제품을 받아들이는 데는 시간이 걸리고, 사람들이 서로에게 익숙해지는 데는 시간이 걸리며, 훌륭한 결과물이 탄생하기까지는 수많은 다듬는 과정이 필요하다. 당신은 통제할 수 없는 수많은 변수들과 씨름해야 한다. 따라서 결과는 당신의 손을 떠난 영역이다. 당신이 할 수 있는 모든 것을 했다면, 그저 기다리고 다듬는 인내심을 가져야 한다.
5. 네 번째 원칙: 자기 자신으로 사는 법, 모방의 함정
많은 사람들이 성공한 이들을 흉내 내려 한다. 그들의 생각 방식을 배우고, 그들의 행동을 따라 한다. 하지만 그것은 헛된 노력이다. 당신은 절대 다른 사람을 완벽히 모방할 수 없다. 당신은 ‘당신’이 되는 것에 가장 능숙하고, 다른 누구도 당신을 이길 수 없다. 당신의 DNA와 삶의 경험이 만들어낸 고유한 조합은 세상에서 유일하다.
-
“나에게는 놀이처럼 느껴지지만, 남에게는 일처럼 보이는 것”을 찾아라: 이것이 바로 당신의 독특한 강점을 찾는 핵심 문장이다. 이 문장을 구성하는 네 가지 요소는 다음과 같다.
-
“느껴지지만(feels like)”: 이는 당신의 내면적이고 주관적인 감정이다.
-
“놀이처럼(play)”: 당신에게는 그저 재미있고 즐거운 일이다.
-
“보이지만(looks like)”: 이는 외부에서 당신을 보는 관점이다.
-
“일처럼(work)”: 다른 사람들은 그것이 힘든 노동처럼 보인다는 것이다.
-
-
이 네 가지 기준이 모두 충족될 때, 당신은 진정으로 가치 있는 일을 발견한 것이다. 당신의 취미가 다른 사람의 직업이 되는 순간, 당신은 경쟁자 없는 독보적인 위치에 서게 된다. 왜냐하면 당신은 하루에 16시간을 놀이처럼 즐기며 일할 수 있지만, 다른 경쟁자들은 당신처럼 일할 수 없기 때문이다.
6. 다섯 번째 원칙: 욕망의 함정, 단 하나의 목표에 집중하라
행복한 사람은 수만 가지의 것을 원하지만, 아픈 사람은 단 한 가지, ‘건강’만을 원한다. 우리의 끝없는 욕망은 마음의 평화를 흐리는 주범이다. 고대 현자들이 말했듯, **“욕망은 고통을 낳는다”**는 지혜는 여전히 유효하다. 당신이 가진 모든 욕망은 당신을 고통에 노출시키는 통로와 같다.
- 단 하나의 욕망에 집중하라: 삶에서 진정으로 원하는 단 하나를 선택하고, 그 외의 모든 욕망은 놓아버려라. 우주는 놀랍게도 당신이 단 한 가지에 집중할 때 그것을 얻을 수 있도록 설계되어 있다. 당신이 한 가지에 온전히 몰입한다면, 나머지 모든 것들은 저절로 제자리를 찾게 될 것이다.
7. 여섯 번째 원칙: 습관의 힘, 매일 읽고 배우는 삶
많은 사람이 생각하는 것보다 훨씬 적게 읽는다. 매일 한두 시간 독서를 하는 것만으로도 당신은 상위 0.001% 안에 들 수 있다. 이 작은 습관 하나가 당신의 인생에 엄청난 지적 자본을 쌓아줄 것이다. 중요한 것은 **‘무엇을 읽느냐’**가 아니라 ‘매일 읽는 습관’ 그 자체이다.
- 운동의 비유: 어떤 운동이 가장 좋은가에 대한 질문에 대한 답은 “매일 할 수 있을 만큼 즐거운 운동”이다. 독서도 마찬가지다. 당신이 지금 당장 읽고 싶은 것이 있다면, 그것이 만화책이든, 가벼운 잡지든, 그냥 읽어라. 당신은 독서 습관을 통해 결국 더 깊은 지식과 사상으로 나아가게 된다. 처음에는 정크 푸드를 먹다가도 결국에는 건강한 음식을 찾게 되는 것처럼, 당신의 지적 취향은 자연스럽게 진화할 것이다.
8. 일곱 번째 원칙: 기초의 중요성, 이해가 곧 힘이다
삶을 현실에 맞춰 살아가려면 당신이 하는 일과 그 이유에 대한 깊은 이해가 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 화려한 고급 개념을 암기하는 것보다, 기본을 철저히 다지는 것이 훨씬 중요하다.
- 암기는 이해의 부재: 미적분을 외우는 것보다 사칙연산을 완벽히 아는 것이 현실에서 훨씬 유용하다. 암기는 당신이 무언가를 진정으로 이해하지 못했다는 신호다. 리처드 파인만 같은 위대한 사상가들은 기초를 너무나 완벽하게 이해했기에, 손가락으로 숫자를 세는 것에서부터 미적분까지 논리적 흐름을 단 네 페이지로 설명할 수 있었다. 당신도 모든 것을 처음부터 스스로 다시 도출(rederive)할 수 있을 때 비로소 그것을 ‘안다’고 말할 수 있다.
9. 여덟 번째 원칙: 부의 본질, 시간 임대에서 벗어나라
진정한 부를 원한다면, 당신의 시간을 임대하여 부자가 되려는 생각을 버려야 한다. 봉급 생활자처럼 매 시간마다 돈을 버는 구조는 당신의 투입과 산출이 선형적으로 연결되어 있다. 당신이 자고 있거나, 휴가를 떠나거나, 은퇴했을 때는 돈을 벌지 못한다. 또한, 당신의 역할은 대체 가능하다. 누구나 배울 수 있는 일은 결국 다른 사람이나 심지어 AI에 의해 대체될 위험이 크다.
- 소유를 통한 비선형적 부의 축적: 당신은 사업의 지분, 지적 재산권, 혹은 브랜드를 소유해야 한다. 이는 당신이 직접 시간을 투입하지 않아도 가치를 창출하고 부를 쌓을 수 있는 유일한 방법이다. 새로운 형태의 부는 **‘허가 없는 레버리지(permissionless leverage)‘**에서 나온다. 예를 들어, 코딩을 하거나, 책을 쓰거나, 팟캐스트를 녹음하거나, 유튜브 영상을 만드는 일은 누군가의 허락 없이도 시작할 수 있다. 이러한 활동들은 당신의 영향력을 폭발적으로 확장시키고, 당신이 자고 있는 동안에도 부를 창출하게 한다.
10. 아홉 번째 원칙: 비어있는 공간, 생각의 힘
당신의 달력에 여유로운 빈 공간이 없다면, 당신은 제대로 생각할 수 없을 것이다. 끊임없는 회의와 바쁜 일정은 당신의 창의성을 갉아먹고 좋은 판단을 내릴 기회를 박탈한다.
- ‘지루함’이 낳는 위대한 아이디어: 위대한 아이디어는 스트레스와 혼잡 속에서 탄생하지 않는다. 그것은 지루함과 고요함 속에서 당신의 머리가 자유롭게 유영할 때 비로소 나타난다. 일주일에 최소 하루, 가능하다면 이틀은 달력에 아무것도 채우지 않는 시간을 가져라. 그저 생각하고, 방황하고, 당신의 내면의 목소리에 귀 기울여라.
11. 마지막 원칙: 모든 게임에서 벗어나기, 진정한 성공
진정한 승자는 게임에서 벗어나 게임 자체를 초월한 사람들이다. 그들은 외부의 승패나 타인의 시선에 휘둘리지 않고, 오직 내면의 평화와 자기 통제에 집중한다. 그들은 더 많은 돈을 벌든 덜 벌든, 옆 사람이 더 잘 되든 못 되든 전혀 개의치 않는다.
- 고독한 시간의 가치: 인류의 모든 문제는 고요히 혼자 앉아 30분을 버티지 못하는 데서 온다. 만약 당신이 30분 동안 혼자 앉아 행복할 수 있다면, 당신은 이미 성공한 것이다. 외부의 경쟁과 욕망을 초월하여 내면의 평화를 찾는 것이 바로 이 핸드북이 제시하는 궁극적인 성공의 목표다.

대본
if you find a mountain and you start climbing you spend your whole life climbing it and you get say 2/3 of the way and then you see the peak is like way up there but you're 2/3 of the way up you're still really high up but now to go the rest of the way you're going to have to go back down to the bottom and look for another path nobody wants to do that people don't want to start over and it's the nature of later in life that you just don't know the time so it's very painful to go back down and look for A New Path but that may be the best thing to do and that's why when you look at the greatest artists uh and and creators they have this ability to start over that nobody else does like Elon will you know be called an idiot and start over doing something brand new that he supposedly is not qualified for or when Madonna or Paul Simon or you two come out with a new album their existing fans usually hate it because they've adopted a completely new style that they've learned somewhere else and a lot of times they'll just miss completely so you have to be willing to be a fool and kind of have that beginner's mind and go back to the beginning to start over if you're not doing that you're just getting older nib just made the point to me on the side that inspiration is perishable which is a very good point when you have have your inspiration do it right then and there this happens to me a lot with my tweet storms I've actually come up with a whole bunch of additional tweet storms besides the ones that are already out there but sometimes I just hesitate or I just pause and then it just dies and what I've learned is if I'm inspired to write a blog post or to publish a tweet storm I should probably do it right away otherwise it's not going to get out there I won't come back to it so inspiration is a beautiful and powerful thing and when you have it just sees it so people talk about impatience when do you know to be impatient when do you know to be patient my glib tweet TW on this was impatience with actions and patience with results and I think that's actually a good philosophy for Life anything you have to do just get it done why wait you're not getting any younger your life is slipping away you don't want to spend it waiting in line you don't want to spend it traveling back and forth you don't want to spend it doing things that you know ultimately aren't part of your mission and when you do them you want to do them as quickly as you can while you do them well with your full attention but then you just have to give up on the results you have to be patient with the results because you're dealing with complex systems you're dealing with lots of people it takes a long time for markets to adopt products it takes time for people to get comfortable working with each other it takes time for great products to emerge as you polish away polish away polish away so impatience with actions patience with results and as niie said inspiration is perishable so when you have inspiration act on it right then and there if you stop trying to figure out how to do things the way other people want you to do them then you get to listen to that little voice inside of your head that wants to do things a certain way and then you get to be you and no one in the world is going to beat you at being you you're never going to be as good at being me as I am and I'm never going to be as good at you being you as you are so certainly listen absorb but don't try and emulate it's a Fool's errand uh instead each person is uniquely qualified at something they have some specific knowledge capability and desire that nobody else in the world does that's just purely from the combinatorics of human DNA and development and so be and so your goal in life is to find out the people who need you the most to find out the business that needs you the most to find the project and the art that needs you the most because there's something out there just for you um but what you don't want to do is be building checklist and decision Frameworks built on what other people are doing cuz you're never going to be them you'll never be good at being somebody else the whole phrase is what feels like play to you but looks like work to others and all those words are deliberately chosen like feels like cuz it's your internal feeling like play so it's fun but looks cuz the outside person doesn't have the feel like work to them and if it looks like work to them then you can monetize it and it can be useful so all four of those pieces are important in that sentence all of those criteria have to be fulfilled for you to find something that is a worthwhile Endeavor where essentially it's your hobby but it's everybody else's vocation it's your advocation their vocation and that's how I know no one can compete with me on it because I'm just playing 16 hours a day and if they going to compete with me and they're going to work they're going to lose cuz they're not going to do it 16 hours a day 7 days a week a happy person wants 10,000 Things a sick person just wants one thing right so it's your it's your unlimited desires that are clouding your peace your happiness have desires you're a biological creature that stands up and says I can do something I I move I resist I live but just be very careful of your desires this is the oldest most trite wisdom desire is suffering that's what it means right every desire you have is an access where you will suffer so just don't focus on more than one desire at a time the universe is rigged in such a way that if you just want one thing and you focus on that you'll get it but everything else you got to let go the reality is I don't actually read that much compared to what people think like the I probably read one to two hours a day uh which and that puts me in the top 0.001% uh I think that alone accounts for any material success that I've had in my life and any intelligence that I might have because real people don't read an hour a day real people I think read a minute a day or less uh so making it an actual habit is the most important thing and how you make it in habit doesn't matter it's very much like exercise or working out do something every day it almost doesn't matter what you do so the people who are obsessing over like should I be weight training or should I be doing tennis or should I be doing Pilates or should I be doing the high intensity Training Method versus the happy body versus whatever they're missing the point the important thing is to do something every day it doesn't matter what it is so the same way I would argue the important thing is to read every day uh and it's not it doesn't matter it almost doesn't matter what you read because eventually you'll read enough things and and your interest will lead you there that that it'll drama improve your life so just like the best workout for you is the one that you're excited enough to do every day the same way I would say the best books to read are the ones that books or blogs or Twitter or whatever anything with ideas and information and learning the best ones to read are the ones that you're excited about reading all the time I think there's a tendency among parents and teachers to say oh you should read this but don't read that the reality is I just read a lot by today's standards would be considered mental junk food uh but eventually you just get to like reading you run out of the junk food and then you start eating the the healthy food right or your taste kind of graduate um so I think to some extent that's what happened with me because I started from comic books and then went from that into Mysteries and went from that into fantasy then into sci-fi and then from sci-fi made into science and then mathematics and then philosophy um so it just kind of kept climbing up the stack but I'm lucky that there was no one around when I was 7even years old or 16 years old saying oh you shouldn't read that you should read this instead now what I realize is that the biggest mistake was memorization right because when you're actually trying to live your life in congruence with reality you you want to have a deep understanding of what you do and why you do it and so it's much more important to know the basics really well then is to know the advanced knowing calculus wouldn't help you today doesn't help you in business doesn't help you in most things but knowing arithmetic really well will help you really whether it's at the Corner Grocery Store accounting change to figuring out the value of your podcast business to figuring out how to do the probability math on you know some action that you want to take so understanding basic mathematics cold is way more important than memorizing calculus Concepts and the problem is and this is true of I think all reasoning it's much better to know the basics from the ground up solid foundation of understanding a steel frame of understanding than it is to just have a scaffolding where you're just memorizing advanced concepts this is why there are a lot of people I'm sure that you listen to who are really smart they use a lot of jargon and you can't quite follow their reasoning you don't know how they're putting things together and you this deep down suspicion they don't even really understand right so if you look at the the the most powerful thinkers especially the ones where money or life is on the line they have to understand the basics really really well Richard feeman the fam physicist was able to he had this piece in one of his lectures where he takes you from counting numbers on your hand all the way to calculus in four pages of text orally but written down it's four pages of text and it's a complete unbroken logical chain that takes you through geometry trigonometry pre-calculus analytic geometry graphs everything all the way to calculus he understood numbers at a core level he didn't have to memorize anything when you're memorizing it's an indication that you don't understand you should be able to rederive anything on the spot and if you can't you don't know it the first thing if you're going to make money is that you're not going to get rich renting at your time there are many reasons for that but the most basic is just that your inputs are very closely tied to your outputs in almost any salary job even a one that's paying a lot per hour like a lawyer or a doctor you're still putting in the hours and every hour you get paid so what that means is when you're sleeping you're not earning when you're retired you're not earning when you're vacation you're not earning and you can earn nonlinearly if you look at even doctors who get rich like really rich it's because they open a business they open like a private practice and that private practice builds a brand and that brand attracts people or they build some kind of a medical device or a procedure or a process where they have intellectual property so essentially you're working for somebody else and that person is taking on the risk and has the accountability and the intellectual property and the brand so they're just not going to pay you enough they're going to pay you the bare minimum that they have to to get you due to the job and that can be a high bare minimum but it's still not going to be true wealth where you're retired and then finally you're not creating new things for society you're just doing things over and over and you're essentially replaceable because you're now doing a set role most set roles can be taught if they can be taught like in a school then eventually you're going to be competing with someone who's got more recent knowledge who's been taught and is coming in to replace you you're much more likely to be doing a job that can be eventually replaced by a robot or by an AI and it doesn't even have to be wholesale replaced overnight it can be replaced a little bit of a time and that eats into your wealth creation and therefore your earning capability so fundamentally your inputs are matched to your outputs you replaceable and you're not being creative I just don't think that that is a way that you can truly make money so the first thing you have to do is you have to own a piece of a business you need to have Equity either as an owner an investor shareholder uh or a brand that you're building that acrs to you to gain your Financial Freedom so this newest form of Leverage is where all the new fortunes are made so all the new billionaires so the last generation fortunes were made by Capital that was the Warren buffets of the world but the new generation fortunes Are All Made through code or media Joe Rogan making 50 to 100 million bucks a year from his podcasts PewDiePie I don't know how much money he's rolling in but he's bigger than the news right the fortnite players of course Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page and Sergey Bren and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that is all code-based leverage probably the most interesting thing to keep in mind about the new forms of Leverage is they are permissionless they don't require somebody else's permission for you to use them or succeed for labor leverage somebody has to decide to follow you for Capital leverage somebody has to give you money to invest or to turn into a product but coding writing books recording podcasts tweeting youtubing these kinds of things these are permissionless you don't need anyone's permission to do them and that's why they're very egalitarian they're great equalizers of Leverage and it's really it's actually really important to have empty space if you don't have a day or two days a week in your calendar where you're not always in meetings and you're not always busy then you're not going to be able to think you're not going to be able to have good ideas for your business you're not going to able to have good judgments so I also encourage taking at least one day a week preferably two cuz if you budget two you'll end up with one uh a day a week where you have nothing on your calendar and you just have time to think um it's only after you're bored that you're going to have the great ideas uh it's never going to be when you're stressed or uh busy or running around or rushed um so make the time to me the real winners are the ones who step out of the game entirely who don't even play the game Who rise above it uh and those are the people who have such internal mental and self-control and self-awareness that they need nothing from anybody else um so there are a couple of these characters that I know in my life um some older gentlemen that I like to kind of learn from and we mentioned our polish friend earlier um I would consider him successful because he doesn't need anything from anybody um he is at peace he is at Health uh and uh whether he makes more money or less money or where the next person over from him does better or worse than him has no effect on his mental state and bearing uh and historically I would say that the legendary Buddha uh or uh Krishna Morty whose stuff that I like reading they are successful quote unquote in the sense they step out of the game entirely uh winning or losing does not matter to them uh there's some line that I read somewhere that all of man's troubles arise uh because he cannot sit in a room quietly by himself for half an hour right and if if you could literally just sit if you could just sit for 30 minutes and be happy you are successful uh and I think that that is a that is a very powerful place to be but very few of us get there

대본
if you find a mountain and you start climbing you spend your whole life climbing it and you get say 2/3 of the way and then you see the peak is like way up there but you're 2/3 of the way up you're still really high up but now to go the rest of the way you're going to have to go back down to the bottom and look for another path nobody wants to do that people don't want to start over and it's the nature of later in life that you just don't know the time so it's very painful to go back down and look for A New Path but that may be the best thing to do and that's why when you look at the greatest artists uh and and creators they have this ability to start over that nobody else does like Elon will you know be called an idiot and start over doing something brand new that he supposedly is not qualified for or when Madonna or Paul Simon or you two come out with a new album their existing fans usually hate it because they've adopted a completely new style that they've learned somewhere else and a lot of times they'll just miss completely so you have to be willing to be a fool and kind of have that beginner's mind and go back to the beginning to start over if you're not doing that you're just getting older nib just made the point to me on the side that inspiration is perishable which is a very good point when you have have your inspiration do it right then and there this happens to me a lot with my tweet storms I've actually come up with a whole bunch of additional tweet storms besides the ones that are already out there but sometimes I just hesitate or I just pause and then it just dies and what I've learned is if I'm inspired to write a blog post or to publish a tweet storm I should probably do it right away otherwise it's not going to get out there I won't come back to it so inspiration is a beautiful and powerful thing and when you have it just sees it so people talk about impatience when do you know to be impatient when do you know to be patient my glib tweet TW on this was impatience with actions and patience with results and I think that's actually a good philosophy for Life anything you have to do just get it done why wait you're not getting any younger your life is slipping away you don't want to spend it waiting in line you don't want to spend it traveling back and forth you don't want to spend it doing things that you know ultimately aren't part of your mission and when you do them you want to do them as quickly as you can while you do them well with your full attention but then you just have to give up on the results you have to be patient with the results because you're dealing with complex systems you're dealing with lots of people it takes a long time for markets to adopt products it takes time for people to get comfortable working with each other it takes time for great products to emerge as you polish away polish away polish away so impatience with actions patience with results and as niie said inspiration is perishable so when you have inspiration act on it right then and there if you stop trying to figure out how to do things the way other people want you to do them then you get to listen to that little voice inside of your head that wants to do things a certain way and then you get to be you and no one in the world is going to beat you at being you you're never going to be as good at being me as I am and I'm never going to be as good at you being you as you are so certainly listen absorb but don't try and emulate it's a Fool's errand uh instead each person is uniquely qualified at something they have some specific knowledge capability and desire that nobody else in the world does that's just purely from the combinatorics of human DNA and development and so be and so your goal in life is to find out the people who need you the most to find out the business that needs you the most to find the project and the art that needs you the most because there's something out there just for you um but what you don't want to do is be building checklist and decision Frameworks built on what other people are doing cuz you're never going to be them you'll never be good at being somebody else the whole phrase is what feels like play to you but looks like work to others and all those words are deliberately chosen like feels like cuz it's your internal feeling like play so it's fun but looks cuz the outside person doesn't have the feel like work to them and if it looks like work to them then you can monetize it and it can be useful so all four of those pieces are important in that sentence all of those criteria have to be fulfilled for you to find something that is a worthwhile Endeavor where essentially it's your hobby but it's everybody else's vocation it's your advocation their vocation and that's how I know no one can compete with me on it because I'm just playing 16 hours a day and if they going to compete with me and they're going to work they're going to lose cuz they're not going to do it 16 hours a day 7 days a week a happy person wants 10,000 Things a sick person just wants one thing right so it's your it's your unlimited desires that are clouding your peace your happiness have desires you're a biological creature that stands up and says I can do something I I move I resist I live but just be very careful of your desires this is the oldest most trite wisdom desire is suffering that's what it means right every desire you have is an access where you will suffer so just don't focus on more than one desire at a time the universe is rigged in such a way that if you just want one thing and you focus on that you'll get it but everything else you got to let go the reality is I don't actually read that much compared to what people think like the I probably read one to two hours a day uh which and that puts me in the top 0.001% uh I think that alone accounts for any material success that I've had in my life and any intelligence that I might have because real people don't read an hour a day real people I think read a minute a day or less uh so making it an actual habit is the most important thing and how you make it in habit doesn't matter it's very much like exercise or working out do something every day it almost doesn't matter what you do so the people who are obsessing over like should I be weight training or should I be doing tennis or should I be doing Pilates or should I be doing the high intensity Training Method versus the happy body versus whatever they're missing the point the important thing is to do something every day it doesn't matter what it is so the same way I would argue the important thing is to read every day uh and it's not it doesn't matter it almost doesn't matter what you read because eventually you'll read enough things and and your interest will lead you there that that it'll drama improve your life so just like the best workout for you is the one that you're excited enough to do every day the same way I would say the best books to read are the ones that books or blogs or Twitter or whatever anything with ideas and information and learning the best ones to read are the ones that you're excited about reading all the time I think there's a tendency among parents and teachers to say oh you should read this but don't read that the reality is I just read a lot by today's standards would be considered mental junk food uh but eventually you just get to like reading you run out of the junk food and then you start eating the the healthy food right or your taste kind of graduate um so I think to some extent that's what happened with me because I started from comic books and then went from that into Mysteries and went from that into fantasy then into sci-fi and then from sci-fi made into science and then mathematics and then philosophy um so it just kind of kept climbing up the stack but I'm lucky that there was no one around when I was 7even years old or 16 years old saying oh you shouldn't read that you should read this instead now what I realize is that the biggest mistake was memorization right because when you're actually trying to live your life in congruence with reality you you want to have a deep understanding of what you do and why you do it and so it's much more important to know the basics really well then is to know the advanced knowing calculus wouldn't help you today doesn't help you in business doesn't help you in most things but knowing arithmetic really well will help you really whether it's at the Corner Grocery Store accounting change to figuring out the value of your podcast business to figuring out how to do the probability math on you know some action that you want to take so understanding basic mathematics cold is way more important than memorizing calculus Concepts and the problem is and this is true of I think all reasoning it's much better to know the basics from the ground up solid foundation of understanding a steel frame of understanding than it is to just have a scaffolding where you're just memorizing advanced concepts this is why there are a lot of people I'm sure that you listen to who are really smart they use a lot of jargon and you can't quite follow their reasoning you don't know how they're putting things together and you this deep down suspicion they don't even really understand right so if you look at the the the most powerful thinkers especially the ones where money or life is on the line they have to understand the basics really really well Richard feeman the fam physicist was able to he had this piece in one of his lectures where he takes you from counting numbers on your hand all the way to calculus in four pages of text orally but written down it's four pages of text and it's a complete unbroken logical chain that takes you through geometry trigonometry pre-calculus analytic geometry graphs everything all the way to calculus he understood numbers at a core level he didn't have to memorize anything when you're memorizing it's an indication that you don't understand you should be able to rederive anything on the spot and if you can't you don't know it the first thing if you're going to make money is that you're not going to get rich renting at your time there are many reasons for that but the most basic is just that your inputs are very closely tied to your outputs in almost any salary job even a one that's paying a lot per hour like a lawyer or a doctor you're still putting in the hours and every hour you get paid so what that means is when you're sleeping you're not earning when you're retired you're not earning when you're vacation you're not earning and you can earn nonlinearly if you look at even doctors who get rich like really rich it's because they open a business they open like a private practice and that private practice builds a brand and that brand attracts people or they build some kind of a medical device or a procedure or a process where they have intellectual property so essentially you're working for somebody else and that person is taking on the risk and has the accountability and the intellectual property and the brand so they're just not going to pay you enough they're going to pay you the bare minimum that they have to to get you due to the job and that can be a high bare minimum but it's still not going to be true wealth where you're retired and then finally you're not creating new things for society you're just doing things over and over and you're essentially replaceable because you're now doing a set role most set roles can be taught if they

if you find a mountain and you start climbing you spend your whole life climbing it and you get say 2/3 of the way and then you see the peak is like way up there but you're 2/3 of the way up you're still really high up but now to go the rest of the way you're going to have to go back down to the bottom and look for another path nobody wants to do that people don't want to start over and it's the nature of later in life that you just don't know the time so it's very painful to go back down and look for A New Path but that may be the best thing to do and that's why when you look at the greatest artists uh and and creators they have this ability to start over that nobody else does like Elon will you know be called an idiot and start over doing something brand new that he supposedly is not qualified for or when Madonna or Paul Simon or you two come out with a new album their existing fans usually hate it because they've adopted a completely new style that they've learned somewhere else and a lot of times they'll just miss completely so you have to be willing to be a fool and kind of have that beginner's mind and go back to the beginning to start over if you're not doing that you're just getting older nib just made the point to me on the side that inspiration is perishable which is a very good point when you have have your inspiration do it right then and there this happens to me a lot with my tweet storms I've actually come up with a whole bunch of additional tweet storms besides the ones that are already out there but sometimes I just hesitate or I just pause and then it just dies and what I've learned is if I'm inspired to write a blog post or to publish a tweet storm I should probably do it right away otherwise it's not going to get out there I won't come back to it so inspiration is a beautiful and powerful thing and when you have it just sees it so people talk about impatience when do you know to be impatient when do you know to be patient my glib tweet TW on this was impatience with actions and patience with results and I think that's actually a good philosophy for Life anything you have to do just get it done why wait you're not getting any younger your life is slipping away you don't want to spend it waiting in line you don't want to spend it traveling back and forth you don't want to spend it doing things that you know ultimately aren't part of your mission and when you do them you want to do them as quickly as you can while you do them well with your full attention but then you just have to give up on the results you have to be patient with the results because you're dealing with complex systems you're dealing with lots of people it takes a long time for markets to adopt products it takes time for people to get comfortable working with each other it takes time for great products to emerge as you polish away polish away polish away so impatience with actions patience with results and as niie said inspiration is perishable so when you have inspiration act on it right then and there if you stop trying to figure out how to do things the way other people want you to do them then you get to listen to that little voice inside of your head that wants to do things a certain way and then you get to be you and no one in the world is going to beat you at being you you're never going to be as good at being me as I am and I'm never going to be as good at you being you as you are so certainly listen absorb but don't try and emulate it's a Fool's errand uh instead each person is uniquely qualified at something they have some specific knowledge capability and desire that nobody else in the world does that's just purely from the combinatorics of human DNA and development and so be and so your goal in life is to find out the people who need you the most to find out the business that needs you the most to find the project and the art that needs you the most because there's something out there just for you um but what you don't want to do is be building checklist and decision Frameworks built on what other people are doing cuz you're never going to be them you'll never be good at being somebody else the whole phrase is what feels like play to you but looks like work to others and all those words are deliberately chosen like feels like cuz it's your internal feeling like play so it's fun but looks cuz the outside person doesn't have the feel like work to them and if it looks like work to them then you can monetize it and it can be useful so all four of those pieces are important in that sentence all of those criteria have to be fulfilled for you to find something that is a worthwhile Endeavor where essentially it's your hobby but it's everybody else's vocation it's your advocation their vocation and that's how I know no one can compete with me on it because I'm just playing 16 hours a day and if they going to compete with me and they're going to work they're going to lose cuz they're not going to do it 16 hours a day 7 days a week a happy person wants 10,000 Things a sick person just wants one thing right so it's your it's your unlimited desires that are clouding your peace your happiness have desires you're a biological creature that stands up and says I can do something I I move I resist I live but just be very careful of your desires this is the oldest most trite wisdom desire is suffering that's what it means right every desire you have is an access where you will suffer so just don't focus on more than one desire at a time the universe is rigged in such a way that if you just want one thing and you focus on that you'll get it but everything else you got to let go the reality is I don't actually read that much compared to what people think like the I probably read one to two hours a day uh which and that puts me in the top 0.001% uh I think that alone accounts for any material success that I've had in my life and any intelligence that I might have because real people don't read an hour a day real people I think read a minute a day or less uh so making it an actual habit is the most important thing and how you make it in habit doesn't matter it's very much like exercise or working out do something every day it almost doesn't matter what you do so the people who are obsessing over like should I be weight training or should I be doing tennis or should I be doing Pilates or should I be doing the high intensity Training Method versus the happy body versus whatever they're missing the point the important thing is to do something every day it doesn't matter what it is so the same way I would argue the important thing is to read every day uh and it's not it doesn't matter it almost doesn't matter what you read because eventually you'll read enough things and and your interest will lead you there that that it'll drama improve your life so just like the best workout for you is the one that you're excited enough to do every day the same way I would say the best books to read are the ones that books or blogs or Twitter or whatever anything with ideas and information and learning the best ones to read are the ones that you're excited about reading all the time I think there's a tendency among parents and teachers to say oh you should read this but don't read that the reality is I just read a lot by today's standards would be considered mental junk food uh but eventually you just get to like reading you run out of the junk food and then you start eating the the healthy food right or your taste kind of graduate um so I think to some extent that's what happened with me because I started from comic books and then went from that into Mysteries and went from that into fantasy then into sci-fi and then from sci-fi made into science and then mathematics and then philosophy um so it just kind of kept climbing up the stack but I'm lucky that there was no one around when I was 7even years old or 16 years old saying oh you shouldn't read that you should read this instead now what I realize is that the biggest mistake was memorization right because when you're actually trying to live your life in congruence with reality you you want to have a deep understanding of what you do and why you do it and so it's much more important to know the basics really well then is to know the advanced knowing calculus wouldn't help you today doesn't help you in business doesn't help you in most things but knowing arithmetic really well will help you really whether it's at the Corner Grocery Store accounting change to figuring out the value of your podcast business to figuring out how to do the probability math on you know some action that you want to take so understanding basic mathematics cold is way more important than memorizing calculus Concepts and the problem is and this is true of I think all reasoning it's much better to know the basics from the ground up solid foundation of understanding a steel frame of understanding than it is to just have a scaffolding where you're just memorizing advanced concepts this is why there are a lot of people I'm sure that you listen to who are really smart they use a lot of jargon and you can't quite follow their reasoning you don't know how they're putting things together and you this deep down suspicion they don't even really understand right so if you look at the the the most powerful thinkers especially the ones where money or life is on the line they have to understand the basics really really well Richard feeman the fam physicist was able to he had this piece in one of his lectures where he takes you from counting numbers on your hand all the way to calculus in four pages of text orally but written down it's four pages of text and it's a complete unbroken logical chain that takes you through geometry trigonometry pre-calculus analytic geometry graphs everything all the way to calculus he understood numbers at a core level he didn't have to memorize anything when you're memorizing it's an indication that you don't understand you should be able to rederive anything on the spot and if you can't you don't know it the first thing if you're going to make money is that you're not going to get rich renting at your time there are many reasons for that but the most basic is just that your inputs are very closely tied to your outputs in almost any salary job even a one that's paying a lot per hour like a lawyer or a doctor you're still putting in the hours and every hour you get paid so what that means is when you're sleeping you're not earning when you're retired you're not earning when you're vacation you're not earning and you can earn nonlinearly if you look at even doctors who get rich like really rich it's because they open a business they open like a private practice and that private practice builds a brand and that brand attracts people or they build some kind of a medical device or a procedure or a process where they have intellectual property so essentially you're working for somebody else and that person is taking on the risk and has the accountability and the intellectual property and the brand so they're just not going to pay you enough they're going to pay you the bare minimum that they have to to get you due to the job and that can be a high bare minimum but it's still not going to be true wealth where you're retired and then finally you're not creating new things for society you're just doing things over and over and you're essentially replaceable because you're now doing a set role most set roles can be taught if they can be taught like in a school then eventually you're going to be competing with someone who's got more recent knowledge who's been taught and is coming in to replace you you're much more likely to be doing a job that can be eventually replaced by a robot or by an AI and it doesn't even have to be wholesale replaced overnight it can be replaced a little bit of a time and that eats into your wealth creation and therefore your earning capability so fundamentally your inputs are matched to your outputs you replaceable and you're not being creative I just don't think that that is a way that you can truly make money so the first thing you have to do is you have to own a piece of a business you need to have Equity either as an owner an investor shareholder uh or a brand that you're building that acrs to you to gain your Financial Freedom so this newest form of Leverage is where all the new fortunes are made so all the new billionaires so the last generation fortunes were made by Capital that was the Warren buffets of the world but the new generation fortunes Are All Made through code or media Joe Rogan making 50 to 100 million bucks a year from his podcasts PewDiePie I don't know how much money he's rolling in but he's bigger than the news right the fortnite players of course Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page and Sergey Bren and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that is all code-based leverage probably the most interesting thing to keep in mind about the new forms of Leverage is they are permissionless they don't require somebody else's permission for you to use them or succeed for labor leverage somebody has to decide to follow you for Capital leverage somebody has to give you money to invest or to turn into a product but coding writing books recording podcasts tweeting youtubing these kinds of things these are permissionless you don't need anyone's permission to do them and that's why they're very egalitarian they're great equalizers of Leverage and it's really it's actually really important to have empty space if you don't have a day or two days a week in your calendar where you're not always in meetings and you're not always busy then you're not going to be able to think you're not going to be able to have good ideas for your business you're not going to able to have good judgments so I also encourage taking at least one day a week preferably two cuz if you budget two you'll end up with one uh a day a week where you have nothing on your calendar and you just have time to think um it's only after you're bored that you're going to have the great ideas uh it's never going to be when you're stressed or uh busy or running around or rushed um so make the time to me the real winners are the ones who step out of the game entirely who don't even play the game Who rise above it uh and those are the people who have such internal mental and self-control and self-awareness that they need nothing from anybody else um so there are a couple of these characters that I know in my life um some older gentlemen that I like to kind of learn from and we mentioned our polish friend earlier um I would consider him successful because he doesn't need anything from anybody um he is at peace he is at Health uh and uh whether he makes more money or less money or where the next person over from him does better or worse than him has no effect on his mental state and bearing uh and historically I would say that the legendary Buddha uh or uh Krishna Morty whose stuff that I like reading they are successful quote unquote in the sense they step out of the game entirely uh winning or losing does not matter to them uh there's some line that I read somewhere that all of man's troubles arise uh because he cannot sit in a room quietly by himself for half an hour right and if if you could literally just sit if you could just sit for 30 minutes and be happy you are successful uh and I think that that is a that is a very powerful place to be but very few of us get there
