Everybody wants progress, nobody wants change.
– Paul Romer
Investing is kind of a game of connecting the dots. The nice thing about it is the longer you are in the business, as long as you are intellectually curious, your collection of data points of dots gets bigger and bigger…Being a successful investor you need to be hungry, intellectually curious, interested, read all the time. Read a lot of newspapers. You need a certain level of randomness in order to connect things that might give you an insight into where a business is going in five years that somebody else might not see.
Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.
Your title makes you a manager. Your people will decide if you’re a leader, and its up to you to live up to that.
