More quotes by Ray Dalio
Life is like a giant smorgasbord of more delicious alternatives than you can ever hope to taste. So you have to reject having some things you want in order to get other things you want more.
Ray Dalio
If it didn't happen in your life before, then you're not paying attention you don't think it's possible. But almost all important events never happen in your life before.
Ray Dalio
What matters most is that the people you work with share your values.
Ray Dalio
The media has the power to create an entrenched perception of reality that's incorrect.
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.
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
Do not feel bad about your mistakes or those of others. Love them! Remember that one: they are to be expected two: they're the first and most essential part of the learning process and three: feeling bad about them will prevent you from getting better.
Ray Dalio
The more you think you know, the more closed-minded you'll be.
Ray Dalio
The main reason I write the daily observations is because I want to know where I'm wrong. So lots of times if somebody points something out it helps me, and I want to have a diversified bet of uncorrelated bets.
Ray Dalio
There are two main drivers of asset class returns - inflation and growth.
Ray Dalio
Principles are what allow you to live a life consistent with those values. Principles connect your values to your actions.
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
To make money in the markets, you have to think independently and be humble.
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
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.
Ray Dalio
When people get at each other's throat, the rich and the poor and the Left and the Right and so on, and you have a basic breakdown, that becomes very threatening.
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.
Ray Dalio
I notice a difference from the moment I meditate.
Ray Dalio
He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass.
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.
