"Yellow" highlights are the good stuff. "Red" highlights are the great stuff.

Here are my Red highlights.

/Thread 👇👇👇

"Figure out what you’re good at ,and start helping other people with it. Give it away. Pay it forward." - @naval

Love the spirit of generosity in this statement.

"Don’t take yourself so seriously. You’re just a monkey with a plan." - @naval

Naval does not pull punches and always puts things into perspective.

"You’re born , you have a whole set of sensory experiences and stimulations (lights , colors , and sounds), and then you die . How you choose to interpret them is up to you — you have that choice." - @naval

Life is short, treasure it.

"Today, the way we think you get peace is by resolving all your external problems. But there are unlimited external problems. The only way to actually get peace on the inside is by giving up this idea of problems." - @naval

You can choose to see problems as opportunities.

"You’re going to die one day, and none of this is going to matter. So enjoy yourself. Do something positive. Project some love. Make someone happy. Laugh a little bit. Appreciate the moment. And do your work." - @naval

Beautiful sentiment.

"I never met my greatest mentor. I wanted so much to be like him. But his message was the opposite: Be yourself, with passionate intensity." - @naval

The most powerful thing you can be in life? Yourself.

"Value your time. It is all you have. It’s more important than your money. It’s more important than your friends. It is more important than anything. Your time is all you have. Do not waste your time." - @naval

Time > Money

"The reality is you’ve been dead for the history of the Universe, 10 billion years or more. You will be dead for the next 70 billion years or so, until the heat death of the Universe." - @naval

Naval putting things in perspective again.
