“If you don't care to be liked, they can’t touch you.” - Naval Ravikant @naval

“We should have two-factor authentication on our calendars.”- Naval Ravikant @naval
Time is the most precious and non-renewable resource we have. But we give it away freely. Every time you book something on your calendar, ask yourself: “Is this something I REALLY want to do?”

"Treat your life like a movie."- Naval Ravikant @naval
It is not meant to be an exercise to gain the approval of others. It is your movie, you are the protagonist. It makes you behave according to your own standards. Your higher self is the audience. How should the hero behave?

"The older the problem, the older the solution."- Naval Ravikant @naval
Read "source" books. Older solutions have stood the test of time. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is over 2,000 years old and gives solutions to the problems humans have been suffering from for millennia.

“I, and I alone, am responsible for everything I think and feel.”- Naval Ravikant @naval
I am ultimately accountable for my internal landscape. Don't waste time blaming or pointing fingers. Figure it out. https://twitter.com/naval/status/1278735123081392128?s=20

"Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want."- Naval Ravikant @naval
Love this. Great reminder that I can choose to be happy with what I have in the present moment. I do not have to wait for a future event to bring happiness.

"Self improvement is just a dressed up form of self conflict."- Naval Ravikant @naval
Yes we want to get better, yes we want to improve. But it should be infused w/ a healthy dose of self acceptance and love.

"If you can speed read a book, you shouldn't read it." - Naval Ravikant @naval
You need to take time with a good book. Develop a relationship with it. Highlight, annotate, transcribe, reflect. Give it a chance to let it's wisdom sink in. https://twitter.com/naval/status/1282553195508580352?s=20

"The nature of technology is that destructive power arises before constructive power."- Naval Ravikant @naval
