More quotes by Ray Dalio
It all comes down to interest rates. As an investor, all you're doing is putting up a lump-sump payment for a future cash flow.
Ray Dalio
Ironically, people who suppress the mini-confrontations for fear of conflict tend to have huge conflicts later, which can lead to separation, precisely because they let minor problems fester. On the other hand, people who address the mini-conflicts head-on in order to straighten things out tend to have the great, long-lasting relationships.
Ray Dalio
I'd like to be clear that a number of people find me intolerable, and they don't hesitate to say so - which they and I cherish.
Ray Dalio
One of the greatest sources of problems in our society arises from people having loads of wrong theories in their heads - often theories that are critical of others - that they won't test by speaking to the relevant people about them. Instead, they talk behind people's backs, which leads to pervasive misinformation.
Ray Dalio
By and large, life will give you what you deserve and it doesn't give a damn what you like. So it is up to you to take full responsibility to connect what you want with what you need to do to get it, and then to do those things.
Ray Dalio
Everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them and their organization.
Ray Dalio
When you're centered, your emotions are not hijacking you.
Ray Dalio
I think it is in the nature of individuals and individual entities not to self-correct.
Ray Dalio
The media has the power to create an entrenched perception of reality that's incorrect.
Ray Dalio
We don't know what truth is anymore. You or other media people can say there's no problem, but you're losing your credibility. There's distortion, and it's hurting our society. And as a result of that, there will be forces that, one way or another, are going to naturally bring that into equilibrium.
Ray Dalio
I treasure the fact there's media freedom, but with that goes responsibility. I think that there should be a self-regulatory organization and that they should start to think about standards. Because I think a lot of people say, I don't know how to read what is true versus somebody else's interpretation.
Ray Dalio
Don't worry about looking good - worry about achieving your goals.
Ray Dalio
I'm just saying that if you understand how the economic machine works, it just works like a machine. There are cause-effect relationships.
Ray Dalio
Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine.
Ray Dalio
Over time, it also became important for me to share my management principles with the people I worked with because we had to agree on how we should be with each other - and that way is unique. Because the logic behind being radically honest and radically transparent with each other wasn't clear, it had to be spelled out in these principles.
Ray Dalio
Since the only way you are going to find solutions to painful problems is by thinking deeply about them - i.e., reflecting - if you can develop a knee-jerk reaction to pain that is to reflect rather than to fight or flee, it will lead to your rapid learning/evolving.
Ray Dalio
Treat your life like a game.
Ray Dalio
People who acquire things beyond their usefulness not only will derive little or no marginal gains from these acquisitions, but they also will experience negative consequences, as with any form of gluttony.
Ray Dalio
He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass.
Ray Dalio
You'll see that excuses like That's not easy are of no value and that it pays to push through it at a pace you can handle. Like getting physically fit, the most important thing is that you keep moving forward at whatever pace you choose, recognizing the consequences of your actions.
