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.

When you're centered, your emotions are not hijacking you.

To test if you are worrying too much about looking good, observe how you feel when you find out you've made a mistake or don't know something.

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.

Principles are what allow you to live a life consistent with those values. Principles connect your values to your actions.

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.

When growth is slower than expected, stocks go down. When inflation is higher than expected, bonds go down. When inflation's lower than expected, bonds go up.

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.

Constantly probe the people who report to you, and encourage them to probe you.

The media has the power to create an entrenched perception of reality that's incorrect.

When there is pain, the animal instinct is 'fight or flight' (i.e., to either strike back or run away) - reflect instead. When you can calm yourself down, thinking about the dilemma that is causing you pain will bring you to a higher level and enlighten you, leading to progress.

Forget about what the technology is. Just understand the motivation behind it.

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.

What matters most is that the people you work with share your values.

The big question is: When will the term structure of interest rates change? That's the question to be worried about.

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.
