The pain of problems is a call to find solutions rather than a reason for unhappiness and inaction, so it's silly, pointless, and harmful to be upset at the problems and choices that come at you (though it’s understandable).

More quotes by Ray Dalio
For every mistake that you learn from you will save thousands of similar mistakes in the future, so if you treat mistakes as learning opportunities that yield rapid improvements you should be excited by them. But if you treat them as bad things, you will make yourself and others miserable, and you won't grow.
Ray Dalio
Don't worry about looking good - worry about achieving your goals.
Ray Dalio
I don't get caught up in the moment.
Ray Dalio
What matters most is that the people you work with share your values.
Ray Dalio
It is a law of nature that you must do difficult things to gain strength and power. As with working out, after a while you make the connection between doing difficult things and the benefits you get from doing them, and you come to look forward to doing these difficult things.
Ray Dalio
Constantly probe the people who report to you, and encourage them to probe you.
Ray Dalio
If you can stare hard at your problems, they almost always shrink or disappear, because you almost always find a better way of dealing with them than if you don't face them head on. The more difficult the problem, the more important it is that you stare at it and deal with it.
Ray Dalio
An economy is not a complicated thing it just has a lot of moving parts.
Ray Dalio
The most important thing you can have is a good strategic asset allocation mix. So, what the investor needs to do is have a balanced, structured portfolio – a portfolio that does well in different environments…. we don't know that we're going to win. We have to have diversified bets.
Ray Dalio
As Harvard developmental psychologist Robert Kegan, who has studied Bridgewater, says, in most work places everyone is working two jobs. The first is whatever their actual job is the second consists of managing others' impressions of them, especially by hiding weaknesses and inadequacies - which is an enormous waste of energy.
Ray Dalio
Everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them and their organization.
Ray Dalio
I think the industry can probably self-correct without regulation, but I don't believe an individual outlet can regulate itself.
Ray Dalio
I think the President of the United States must operate by rules. I think our judicial system must operate by the rules. You have to operate by the rules of the system, and if you don't, if you pull rank, then you lose all your credibility.
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
He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass.
Ray Dalio
Some people seek to understand, and some people seek to portray what they want to portray.
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
There is giant untapped potential in disagreement, especially if the disagreement is between two or more thoughtful people
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
The biggest mistake investors make is to believe that what happened in the recent past is likely to persist. They assume that something that was a good investment in the recent past is still a good investment. Typically, high past returns simply imply that an asset has become more expensive and is a poorer, not better, investment.
