Oftentimes your biggest risk is boredom. You can't sit still for five minutes so you rationalize buying mediocre investments instead of waiting a little longer for the great ones.

🇯🇵 Japan can drain your travel budget before you realize where the money went. Tourists buy expensive rail passes they don't need, rush between Tokyo and Kyoto, and spend fortunes chasing Instagram experiences. But Japan rewards smarter planning. Here are 8 mistakes I'd avoid ↓

David Vélez: I asked myself the question, 'What's the hardest and most impactful thing I could imagine doing?'. There was nothing bigger than this. It was the hardest thing that I could possibly imagine, so to me, that was very motivating. --- "I had worked as an investor, and entrepreneurship is effectively the biggest investment you're going to do, right? You're not only investing your money. You're investing your time, and you're all in. You're putting all the eggs in one basket, so to me, that meant that I had to find something that was very hard to do, so that I would have less competition, that had significant impact, because I was ready to dedicate the next decade or plus of my life on something. It might as well be something impactful, that made a difference, versus something easy that everybody could copy. By this point, I think I had kind of getting towards a bit of an understanding of what really motivated me, and had come to the conclusion that I was very much motivated by the size of the challenge and by the level of impact. And to me, while everybody told me this is impossible, I thought this was the single most impactful thing I could imagine."

The most important lesson David has learned as a founder: "How to quickly ignore the imposter syndrome. The fact that you are the person that had the vision and the energy to build something out of nothing, to give birth, means that that already is giving you a level of care

Charlie Munger: “The great home run hitters do not remotely swing at every pitch that looks halfway good. They wait for one that they can really handle.” Preserve capital & attention until the odds become unusually attractive. Knowing what to pass on is half of knowing what to buy.

(1) Protect your golden hours. (2) Automate the small decisions. (3) Make progress visible. (4) Rest between hard blocks. Four people, one system. Then do it again tomorrow.

My entire life changed when I realized that the people I admired were just the ones who had the courage to start. The ones who didn't overthink it. Who put their ego aside. Who walked toward uncertainty. Who kept showing up. The answer is found in the action.

Rick Rule reveals that his biggest investment winners, delivering 10x, 20x and even 50x returns, required patience and conviction. After backtesting 35 years of his portfolio, he found that his 10-baggers had an average holding period of five years, and almost every one experienced a 50% share-price decline along the way. His key lesson: understanding a company’s value is essential to holding through volatility and potentially accumulating more during sell-offs.

The true story of a 10 bagger. Roller coaster swings.

The hardest part of owning a 10 bagger Everyone wants to own a 10 bagger but very few people want to live through what owning one actually feels like. That is the part investors underestimate. A 10 bagger rarely goes from $10 to $100 in a straight line. It might go from $10 to

Charlie Munger: “The whole trick of the game is to have a few times when you know that something is better than average and invest only where you have that extra knowledge.” Deeper understanding. Higher conviction. Concentrated positions. Extreme aggression + Extreme patience

The $SPX tops every 7 years. The oldest market cycle is 3,000 years old. Pharaoh dreamed of seven fat cows. Then seven thin ones. Joseph's interpretation was simple: seven years of abundance would be followed by seven years of famine. His advice was even simpler. Don't try to stop the cycle. Prepare for it. Thousands of years later, investors are still trying to learn the same lesson.

Companies with pricing power, high gross margins and shorter horizon reinvestment are better positioned to hold their own or gain, in the face of higher rates. bit.ly/4gXR1vT

The long term game. Compounding works best for decades, not months. Never interrupt it unnecessarily.

Warren Buffett: “A tolerance for short-term swings improves our long-term prospects.”   If you're a long-term buyer of stocks, and a market pullback stresses you, remind yourself who you are.   Never forget which game you're playing.

People who can emotionally regulate all have one thing in common: they can pause and not habitually react. They know there is power in letting emotions pass. They don't match anyone else's energy, they stay grounded in their own.

2. Everything is temporary. Marcus Aurelius constantly reminded himself that his power, his problems, his victories, his failures—and eventually his life—were temporary. This isn’t pessimism. It’s a cure for taking everything so seriously. A launch failed? A year from now, you probably won’t think about it. You wrote a terrible post? A month from now, nobody will care.

@valsopi @JoseAChozas I think he is learning from Nadal. Nadal has suffered so much from his decades of boxing almost every month. In the end, the body just gave up and he aged a lot. Maybe it's not worth it over the long term. Hence the change in routine for Alcaraz.

A Monday morning question for you: I'm not usually awake from 5am to 6am, but when I am I tend to enjoy it. Start the day slow. Watch the sunrise. Get a few things done before everyone else wakes up. Meanwhile, I am often awake from 10pm to 11pm and I find that I tend to use it poorly. Passively watching TV or scrolling on a screen. Late-night snacking. Generally focusing on things that are fairly unimportant. Trading the last hour of the night for the first hour in the morning would be a pretty high-value trade for me. Which hours of your day tend to return the most value and which ones tend to return the least?
