As 2020 comes to an end, here are a few things I learned in the year 2020.
-
The easiest way to gain happiness is to want the things you already have.
-
Pay attention to your enemies, for they are the first to discover your mistakes.
-
Want only those things that are easy to obtain. Want only those things you can be certain of obtaining.
-
To know how many are jealous of you, count your admirers.
-
What upsets people is not things themselves but their judgments about these things.
-
Always or never are the real bad words.
-
Being too prepared can be unhealthy.
-
It’s always difficult until it gets easy.
-
When you’re stressed, it’s probably because you don’t agree with reality and who’s problem is that?
-
Try not having expectations.
-
Think positive, plan negative.
-
Don’t confuse the destination with the route.
-
Your reaction to a bad outcome can make things worse.
-
Insurance is a classic example of a hedge.
-
You notice bad luck but overlook dumb luck.
-
Experience is necessary for learning, but individual experiences often interfere with learning.
-
Don’t overlook the value in being a little less wrong or a little closer to right.
-
If you don’t ask a question, you won’t get an answer.
-
The person you’re most likely to mislead is yourself.
-
Increasing accuracy costs time. Saving time costs accuracy.
