test vs. opinion

One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions.

Chance

投機與小利

看重小利的人，不會有大價值。

a point

Not everything has to have a point. Some things just are.

growth of smaller success

if you look at the behaviours of people who tend to go from little wealth to a lot more wealth,
you can observe that they tend to make decisions that optimise how much money they make
(this sounds obvious, but is actually quite an insight)

Smaller successes build up your "success wealth",
in the form of experience, connections, wisdom, knowledge, skill, and so on.

always optimise for personal growth, for building your "success pool"
that you can leverage to go from smaller successes to bigger successes.

Goal

A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement. In this way he steadily raises his level of aspiration.

Risk

Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.

幸運永遠都在你手中

假如你想變幸運，那就記得，幸運永遠都在你手中

defeat

No one can defeat us unless we first defeat ourselves.

Mr. Market

Mr. Market is here to serve you, not to guide you.

what company keeps

A man is known by the company he keeps. A company is known by the men it keeps.

ideas

If you want to have good ideas, you must have many ideas. Most of them will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.
