[THREAD] Learnt in 2018
1/ Most people will never treat themselves with respect & kindness.
A healthy relationship with yourself is the main requirement before any other kind of relationship.
Corollary:
Be it family, partner or friends, most relationships are crumbling wrecks.

2/ Met some older people (60+) who never came into conflict with close relatives. Husband, siblings, etc.
They are amongst the most superficial & dishonest individuals I have ever met.
We all want to live under the illusion of a perfect life.
Only cowards never face the truth.

3/ Short-term, we overestimate our potential accomplishments & long-term, we underestimate them.
I started to work towards self-improvement around 5 years ago.
The beginning was flat.
Nodes of progression only started to connect in 2017.
The network activity exploded in 2018.

4/ Success breeds success.
Not because you become notably smarter,
but because of a significant boost of self-confidence.
Your beliefs precede your actions.
All the talk regarding the winners’ mindset seems overrated until you actually experience it yourself.

5/ Traveling reprograms your perception of the reality.
It’s a necessary yet not sufficient condition to unlearn all the beliefs, illusions & labels you’ve been fed.
The financial burden should be seen as an investment.
Books will never get you as far as real life experiences.

6/ You neglect what you should cherish.
You disrespect what you take for granted.
Because life is a dynamic flux, you need to constantly put things in perspective,
or you will inevitably repeat the mistakes that your past self looked down upon.
Don’t trust your memory.

7/ The best relationships are effortless.
They don’t pop abruptly, nor are they forceful.
They are a natural consequence, and follow the implicit rules of our lovingly conscious universe.
They stem from your unclouded ability to see clearly & make good compounding decisions.

8/ Learning is more about teaching & less about taking classes:
adopt others’ point of view, have a beginner’s mindset.
It’s more about writing & less about reading:
be able to filter, sort & synthesize.
It’s more about listening & less about talking:
turn off your own voice.

9/ The compounding nature of our universe applies to human relationships:
be selective when it comes to principles.
Don’t waste time on people who lack honesty, kindness & integrity.
Make space for happy & successful people:
They’re ready to help. But will you let them?

10/ The most talented people for any given field are self-educated.
Contrary to beliefs, it doesn’t mean grinding without teachers.
Rather, it’s about drawing your raw material & building out of it from a large number of sources. Books. Experiences.
Everything can be teacher.
