5 lessons on patience from @naval Ravikant

THREAD

1. Great people have great outcomes... eventually.

"Every person I met at the beginning of my career... where I looked at them and said, 'Wow, that guy or gal is super capable'…all of them...became extremely successful."

2. Don't keep track of how long it takes to get rich or else you'll run out of patience.

"There is an indeterminate amount of time you have to put in. If you’re counting, you’ll run out of patience before success actually arrives." - @naval

3. Building wealth is hard and takes a really long time. But it's worth it.

"It’s not easy. It’s actually really freaking hard. It is the hardest thing you will do. But it’s also rewarding. Look at the kids who are born rich—they have no meaning to their lives." - @naval

4. Building your wealth never happens on the timescale you want it to. Do it anyway.

"It never happens in the timescale you want, or they want, but it does happen." - @naval
5. Don't let your age keep you from starting.

"The most common bad advice I hear is: 'You’re too young.' Most of history was built by young people. They just got credit when they were older. The only way to truly learn something is by doing it... don't wait." - @naval
