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.

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
Image
Credit is a promise to deliver money. It will produce GDP but you'll create credit... So you reach a certain point that that you can't do that anymore... There are choices. And how do we best support, apportion the money? How much is going to be transferred?

I think if you look at the statistics and you deal with fake media - and fake media and distorted media is a continuum - the vast majority of the population says, I don't know what to believe. There are no checks and balances in quality control.

Everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them and their organization.
Ray Dalio
Image
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
Image
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).
Ray Dalio
Image
Principles are what allow you to live a life consistent with those values. Principles connect your values to your actions.
Ray Dalio

Treat your life like a game.
Ray Dalio

I'm scared of people with power making the decision.
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.

Know what your people are like, and make sure they do their jobs excellently.

I notice a difference from the moment I meditate.
Ray Dalio

Nature gave us pain as a messaging device to tell us that we are approaching, or that we have exceeded, our limits in some way.

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.
