“Actually, to be honest, this is a useful time to not be knowing what I'll be doing in 2013 or 2014, because really, for the last however many years, I've known what I've been doing for years and years ahead. You get into a cycle of non-reflection, and that gets a bit scary.” YearsLastsBitsKnownKnowingHonestReflectionScaryBeing HonestCycles Author:Stephen Daldry
“There is a saying that no man has tasted the full flavour of life until he has known poverty, love and war. The justness of this reflection commends it to the lover of condensed philosophy. The three conditions embrace about all there is in life worth knowing. A surface thinker might deem that wealth should be added to the list. Not so. When a poor man finds a long-hidden quarter-dollar that has slipped through a rip into his vest lining, he sounds the pleasure of life with a deeper plummet than any millionaire can hope to cast.” MenShouldLongWarPhilosophyMightThreeSoundWealthPleasurePoorKnownPovertyKnowingConditionsLoversReflectionEmbraceDollarsCastsDeeperSurfaceListsThinkerQuartersRipMillionairePoor ManFlavourPleasures Of LifeVestsLove And War Book:Delphi Complete Works of O.

“It is important to remember that value investing is not a perfect science. It is an, with an ongoing need for judgment, refinement, patience, and reflection. It requires endless curiosity, the relentless pursuit of additional information, the raising of questions, and the search for answers. It necessitates dealing with imperfect information - knowing you will never know everything and that that must not prevent you from acting. It requires a precarious balance between conviction, steadfastness in the face of adversity, and doubt - keeping in mind the possibility that you could be wrong.” KnowsNeedsMindImportantRememberFacesValuesAnswersPerfectActingKnowingDoubtInformationPossibilityBalanceJudgmentReflectionAdversityCuriosityInvestingConvictionPursuitEndlessImperfectOngoingRelentlessRefinementPrecariousSteadfastnessFacing AdversityRelentless Pursuit Author:Seth Klarman
“All spiritual growth comes from reading and reflection. By reading we learn what we did not know; by reflection we retain what we have learned. The conscientious reader will be more concerned to carry out what he has read than merely to acquire knowledge of it. In reading we aim at knowing, but we must put into practice what we have learned in our course of study.” KnowsSpiritualCoursesReadingGrowthPracticeKnowingStudyReaderReflectionConcernedAimAcquireSpiritual Growth Author:Isidore of Seville
“I surrender it to God, knowing that the pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain. Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief. I try to be kinder to myself. I give myself time to move through and to process whatever is making me sad.” GivingTryingHumansPainMovingProcessRoomsGriefExistenceKnowingProductsHonorNormalReflectionSurrenderGod KnowsHuman ExistenceKinderInterpreting Author:Marianne Williamson
