1) “Be Water, My Friend.”

2) Success stories start with failure.

3) Consistency creates luck. *Designing life for luck* is Art. Great Success = Some Talent + A Lot Of Luck*. Let the natural order of things emerge. Understand the language of the Universe. Align with it. Self Discipline carries you further than luck.

4) Wealth is not about money, but about options. Getting wealthier is a choice. Freedom is the biggest wealth. Everything else is just a means to get that freedom. Changing your belief system and expanding your vision takes courage.

5) Information ≠ Intelligence. The Age of Information has not yet become the Age of Understanding.”

6) If you are growing, you are losing friends. Friends are relative to where you are in your life. To predict your future, check how you spend your time.

10) The game ‘you're watching’ is not the game ‘being played’.
