Kindle Notes & Highlights
Attitude >> Experience >> Education The hiring principle I have always followed. Skills can be taught. Attitude is really hard to teach.
A
The toughest skill as a leader is to be calm during the toughest moments.
A
When you raise money, it is not an achievement. It is an obligation.
A
A great leader should be replaceable when it comes to their tasks and actions. And irreplaceable when it comes to their thoughts and vision.
A
In a society where being trusted is not common, operating with trust is a competitive advantage. People inherently want to be trusted.
A
Liquidity is critical. Invest in a way that you can withdraw cash whenever you need.
A
Compare the decisions people made to get to money. Comparing the outcome won’t help!
A
Would you be friends with your own self? Would you marry yourself? Would you be your own boss? What version of you would you rather not be? Why do you still continue being that version?
A
Your kindness might cause you pain, a sense of betrayal, heartburn. Be kind anyway.
A
By not appreciating someone for their vulnerability and truth, all we do is encourage lying.
A
True respect is when you respect someone even after you’ve got to know them.
A
Run away from those who are trying to run away from themselves.
A
If your only input in every argument is your silence, peace follows naturally.
A
There are people who tell you that you are wrong. There are people that help you see where you are wrong.
A
It takes effort to find love. It takes effort to feel fulfilled. It takes effort to be fit. It takes effort to be happy. Which is why most of us do not have love, fulfilment, happiness or fitness in our life.
A
We all accept the love we think we deserve.
A
We don’t have to agree with each other as long as we understand each other.
A
Your parents are first humans. Then parents.
A
Your true friends are those who are TRULY happy for you when you succeed. Be that true friend for others.
A
If you share because you are expecting something in return, it is not sharing. It is a transaction!
A
Stay away from relationships that suck energy out of you.
A
How we treat others is a reflection of how we treat ourselves. It is rare, almost impossible, for a mean, conniving, hurtful, racist, bigoted person to truly love themselves.
A
We bring people down because we are feeling low. We make fun of them because we are not in a self-respecting place in our lives. We don’t think twice before hurting others because we are hurt deeply. We may not want to admit that. People who are truly pierced within are rarely seen having inner peace.
A
However, truly happy, fulfilled and soaring people never ever make others feel bad about themselves.
A
We are the average of the five thoughts we spend the most time with. And those thoughts needn’t come from people in our life.
A
Nothing matters more in life than showing up every day. To work, to assume responsibilities, to nurture relationships.
A
If you do not believe in yourself, no one else will.
A
Whenever everyone else fails you, you still have yourself.
