If you have the power to see things through somebody else's eyes, it's like going from black and white to color or two dimensions to three dimensions.

If inflation-adjusted interest rates decline in a given country, its currency is likely to decline.
Ray Dalio
Image
I also believe that everyone needs to think independently and make their own decisions on what makes the most sense.
Ray Dalio
Image
Forget about what the technology is. Just understand the motivation behind it.
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.

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
I don't think there is such a thing as the perfect system.
Ray Dalio
Image
I do think people need to recognize that a lot of journalists want to write a story a certain way because the story will be better or the portrayal will be better, or at least recognize that whenever you're looking at something, you're seeing it through somebody's eyes who may actually not be the person who is the most insightful.
Ray Dalio
Image
I believe that the biggest problem that humanity faces is an ego sensitivity to finding out whether one is right or wrong and identifying what one's strengths and weaknesses are.
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
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.

Image
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
Image
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.
Ray Dalio
Image
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.

An economy is not a complicated thing it just has a lot of moving parts.
Ray Dalio
Image
The most important thing you can have is a good strategic asset allocation mix. So, what the investor needs to do is have a balanced, structured portfolio – a portfolio that does well in different environments…. we don't know that we're going to win. We have to have diversified bets.

The world is still in deleveraging.
Ray Dalio
Image
It is a law of nature that you must do difficult things to gain strength and power. As with working out, after a while you make the connection between doing difficult things and the benefits you get from doing them, and you come to look forward to doing these difficult things.
Ray Dalio
Image
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 media has the power to create an entrenched perception of reality that's incorrect.
Ray Dalio
Image
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.
