“You must have the discipline and temperament to resist your impulses. Human beings have precisely the wrong instincts when it comes to the markets. If you recognise this, you can resist the urge to buy into a rally and sell into a decline. It’s also helpful to remember the power of compounding. You don’t need to stretch for returns to grow your capital over the course of your life.” IfsNeedsHumansRememberCoursesGrowsHuman BeingsReturnDisciplineSellsInstinctImpulseUrgesHelpfulDeclineTemperamentRecognise Author:Irving Kahn
“The idea is that inside every human being, however unprepossessing, there is a glorious, talented, and overwhelmingly attractive personality. Nonsense.

“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency.

“Morality is neither rational nor absolute nor natural.

“To Epictetus, all external events are determined by fate, and are thus beyond our control, but we can accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. Individuals, however, are responsible for their own actions which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline. Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power. As part of the universal city that is the universe, human beings have a duty of care to all fellow humans.

“A university is not, primarily, a place in which to learn how to make a living; it is a place in which to learn how to be more fully a human being, how to draw upon one's resources, how to discipline the mind and expand the imagination; how to make some sense out of the big world we will shortly be thrown into.” WorldLifeMindHumansBigsImaginationHuman BeingsLearningDisciplineDrawsResourcesUniversityThrown Book:On the contrary Source: On the contrary
“I've seen some springs that ended up being terrible winters. We human beings are gregarious. We can't live alone. For our lives to be possible, we depend on society. It's one thing to overturn a government or block the streets. But it's a different matter altogether to create and build a better society, one that needs organization, discipline and long-term work. Let's not confuse the two of them. I want to make it clear: I feel sympathetic with that youthful energy, but I think it's not going anywhere if it doesn't become more mature.” IfsThinkingWantNeedsFeelsHumansLongTwoDifferentMatterGovernmentEnergyTermHuman BeingsPowerfulClearOur LivesOne ThingStreetsDependsDisciplineTerribleSpringOrganizationWinterHumbleBlockLong TermMatureSympatheticPoorestGregarious Author:Jose Mujica
