What Should I Do with My Life vol 2
Americans might have bigger cars and larger grass lawns than the rest of the world, but we certainly aren’t happier, or more content. On that front we’re terrible role models. You’d never follow an American’s prescription for happiness. For the same reason you’d never buy a snow- blower that was made and tasted in Jamaica

What Should I Do with My Life vol 3
The misconception that our life doesn’t begin until we find an answer, when in fact our failed attempts often establish why we will find our future “answer” so meaningful, i.e contrast to our past.

Pleasure is about stimulating the senses. Happiness is found by being grateful for what I’ve got. Success is getting what I want. Fulfillment is giving what I’ve got.

Õnnelik raha vol 7
Õnn tuleb kogemustest. Õnn tuleb seisundist, mis kätkeb endas koos teistega olemist või selliste asjade tegemist, mis teie elu täiustavad. Õnn sünnib töötamisest ning, jah, raha teenimisest ja voolus olemisest.

Paljudel inimeselt puudub täielikult ettekujutus sellest, kui palju takistusi on tulnud ületada selleks, et nad täna oleksid seal, kus nad täna oleksid seal, kus nad on.

Almanack of Naval Ravikant vol 25
I think that’s why the smarter and the most successful people I know start out as losers. If you view yourself as a loser; as someone who was cast out by society and has no role in normal society, then you will do your own thing and you’re much more likely to find a winning path. It helps to start out by saying, “I’m never going to be popular. I’m never going to be accepted. I’m already loser. I’m not going to get what all the other kids have. I’ve just go to be happy being me.”
lk 185–186
