More quotes by 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
Be wary of the arrogant intellectual who comments from the stands without having played on the field.
Ray Dalio
For me, the best things in life - meaningful work, meaningful relationships, interesting experiences, good food, sleep, music, ideas, sex, and other basic needs and pleasures - are not, past a certain point, materially improved upon by having a lot of money.
Ray Dalio
What matters most is that the people you work with share your values.
Ray Dalio
Demand is best measured in terms of spending. You know, I think in traditional economics, it's a mistake to measure it in terms of the quantity of goods.
Ray Dalio
Know what your people are like, and make sure they do their jobs excellently.
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
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
When you're centered, your emotions are not hijacking you.
Ray Dalio
There is giant untapped potential in disagreement, especially if the disagreement is between two or more thoughtful people
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
The world is still in deleveraging.
Ray Dalio
I believe that one of the best ways of getting at truth is reflecting with others who have opposing views and who share your interest in finding the truth rather than being proven right
Ray Dalio
School typically doesn't prepare young people for real life - unless their lives are spent following instructions and pleasing others. In my opinion, that's why so many students who succeed in school fail in life.
Ray Dalio
Constantly probe the people who report to you, and encourage them to probe you.
Ray Dalio
Everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them and their organization.
Ray Dalio
Almost everything is like a machine.
Ray Dalio
Some people who are creative are not reliable and vice versa some see big pictures while others see details, etc. All of them are important to have on well-orchestrated teams.
Ray Dalio
People with good work habits have to-do lists that are reasonably prioritized, and they make themselves do what needs to be done. By contrast, people with poor work habits almost randomly react to the stuff that comes at them, or they can't bring themselves to do the things they need to do but don't like to do (or are unable to do).
Ray Dalio
I think the basic problem is that everybody thinks they know what the truth is, and sometimes they're even distorting the truth to make their arguments.
