10-Life Lessons From The One & Only @naval

~Thread~

“You want to be rich & anonymous... Not poor & famous.”

The goal is to get rich & disappear, not to get noticed!

The problem is that too many people are chasing clout instead of wealth.

Clout is not gonna put food on the table in 5 years. Change your priorities!
“I don’t have time” is just another way of saying, “it’s not a priority”

Being “Too busy” is a myth,

People make time for the things that are important to them.

If you haven’t made enough time then it’s simply because you haven’t convinced yourself it’s a priority.
“Earn with your mind, not with your time”

You’ll never get rich trading your time for money...

Reason being? Because you only have 24 hours in a day & you can’t work non-stop.

Use your mind & money to create a product that will generate you money even while you sleep 🥱
“You can escape competition through authenticity... No one can compete with you on being you”

No 2 humans are exactly the same, there’s something that makes each of us unique.

Find what makes you different & capitalize.

Your biggest competitive advantage is your originality!
One of my favourite quotes from @naval

We have an abundance of free knowledge at our fingertips on our phones/computers...

However, most people use these devices for entertainment purposes instead of education https://t.co/kuQ3W16ff6
“Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want”

Sometimes we get what we desire & we are still unhappy...

The reason?

Happiness is not found by satisfying material needs, but by eliminating them.

Everything you need is already within.
“Most of life is a search for who & what needs you the most”

The day you find your purpose is the day you are reborn

Find your unique talent & then find out exactly who that talent can help and where it can be utilized best.

Make money while helping people do what you do best!
“Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you’ll be unstoppable”

Many people can either sell very well or create top-tier content. Not many people can do both.

Set yourself apart and learn how to build & push your own creation.

That’s how empires are started!
“The greatest superpower is the ability to change your mind”

Being able to change your mind whenever you choose is one of the strongest powers we have

Feeling sad? Change your mind

Feeling anxious? Change your mind

Control your mindset & you control your life.
“You make your own luck if you stay at it long enough”

Put yourself out there & create as many opportunities

If you show up everyday then luck will be unable to ignore you. It’s only a matter of time until it chooses you.

Keep shooting your shot, one will eventually hit

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.

3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
