This week I’ve been sharing some “Lessons Learned in 2008” from Tim Ferriss, one of my favorite authors and bloggers. Here’s some final thoughts:
“You don’t have to recoup losses the same way you lose them.
Adversity doesn’t build character; it reveals it.
Related: Money doesn’t change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.
A good question to revisit whenever overwhelmed: Are you having a break-down or a breakthrough?
A mindset of scarcity (which breeds jealousy and unethical behavior) is due to a disdain for those things easily obtained. (Seneca)”
