Good business is all about having fun together: With your colleagues, with your customers, and even with your competitors.

Enes Ördek

Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Warren Buffett

Goethe had now come to the conclusion that all forms of human knowledge are manifestations of the same life force he had intuited in his nearly death experience as a young man. The problem with most people, he felt, is that they build artificial walls around subjects and ideas. The real thinker sees the connection, graps the essence of the life force operating in every individual instance. Why should any individual stop at poetry, or find art unrelated to science, or narrow his or her intellectual interests? The mind was designed to connect things, like a loom that knits together all of the threads of a fabric. If life exists as an organic whole and cannot be separated into parts without losing a sense of the whole, then thinking should make itself equal to the whole.

Mastery – Robert Greene

At every hour give your full concentration, as a Roman and a man, to carrying out the task in hand with a scrupulous and unaffected dignity and affectionate concern for others and freedom and justice, and give yourself space from other concerns. You will give yourself this if you carry out each act as if it were the last of your life, freed from all randomness and passionate deviation from the rule of reason and from pretense and self-love and dissatisfaction with what has been allotted to you. You see how few things you need to master to be able to live a smoothly flowing life: the gods will ask no more from someone who maintains this principles.

Marcus Aurelius

Müssen

Ist es nicht beunruhigend, wie inflationär wir das Wort „müssen“ verwenden?
Ich „muss“ Haushalt machen
Ich „muss“ für die Klausur lernen
Ich „muss“ xyz

Eine freier Mensch nutzt kein „muss“, sondern er „wird“ etwas machen, weil er dazu berufen wurde!

Die Herrschaft über sich selbst ist die höchste Form der Herrschaft.

Seneca, Briefe an Lucilius, 113. Brief

The knowledge of how little you can know about the future, coupled with the acceptance of your ignorance, is a defensive investor’s most powerful weapon.

Jason Zweig, Commentary in „The Intelligent Investor“ by Benjamin Graham
