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?
Ray Dalio

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).

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.

The world is still in deleveraging.
Ray Dalio
Image
I think the industry can probably self-correct without regulation, but I don't believe an individual outlet can regulate itself.
Ray Dalio
Image
I have found that by looking at what is rewarded and punished, and why, universally - i.e., in nature as well as in humanity - I have been able to learn more about what is good and bad than by listening to most people's views about good and bad.
Ray Dalio
Image
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.
Ray Dalio
Image
I think it is in the nature of individuals and individual entities not to self-correct.
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
Image
Almost everything is like a machine.
Ray Dalio
Image
I don't think there is such a thing as the perfect system.
Ray Dalio
Image
There is slow growth, but it is positive slow growth. At the same time, ratios of debt-to-incomes go down. That's a beautiful deleveraging.
Ray Dalio
Image
An economy is not a complicated thing it just has a lot of moving parts.
Ray Dalio
Image
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.
