Advait Ninawe

An inability to be guided by a "healthy fear" of bad consequences is a disastrous flaw.

A few geniuses solve problems and automate solutions for the rest of society. Any society that can overcome envy to maximize the number and output of geniuses will thrive.

I used to think success meant having a “bigger” life. More people. More goals. More things. I now believe that success means having an intentionally smaller life. Fewer friends, but deeper. Fewer goals, but clearer. Fewer possessions, but more meaningful. Simple is beautiful.

Remember this: Anything above zero compounds. Showing up consistently matters more than showing up perfectly. Small things become big things. Never allow optimal to get in the way of beneficial.

Power is a game, and in games you do not judge your opponents by their intentions but by the effects of their actions.

Would you take a flight if you had a 1% chance of crashing? To put it in perspective, your actual chance is 1 in 11,000,000. Then, why are you afraid of taking the action when you have a 1% chance of success? 1% are considerable odds. 1% are good odds.

Every man needs a destination

Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 hard workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of focused work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace the cost of entry. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.

I’m convinced that you can get pretty damn far in life by just doing the old fashioned things well. Stand up straight. Look people in the eye. Do what you say you'll do. Be on time. Have a confident handshake. Be kind. Few live up to this standard. It’ll never go out of style.

Self-discipline is the art of making what’s good for you feel good for you.

In the race of changing the world, maybe we missed out on letting the world change us.

Discipline is a verb, not a noun

"Beauty will save the world" - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

New Rule: People either make your life better or they can get the fuck out of it.

Peace is not "wanting less" but the absence of "wanting more".

How do you learn any craft: Consume: See examples of the craft Create: Try to make something using the craft Study: Learn about the craft The order is important. Without the first two, you have no framework to understand what you're learning.

A good writer beats great writing almost every time. (Not only about writing)

A simple rule for life that rarely fails: Optimize for enthusiasm. Make as many choices as you can that leave you feeling energetic and interested. Pay attention to when you have the urge to pursue or participate in something and do more of it.
