Financial advice................

 This was some good father-son financial advice on Landman:

You got two choices in life: Get really good at balancing a check book or make enough money that you don’t have to.

Most personal finance experts focus on the former while most people would be better off striving for the latter.

-Ben Carlson, from this list

My business partner and I decided a long time ago that one of our goals in business was to be able to out-earn our mistakes.  While it may not be a goal everyone would embrace, it's worked for us—so far.

-Seth Godin

Got that right...............

 

Unlike his contemporaries, he did not consider the human animal the pinnacle of nature’s imagination. “Never say higher or lower,” he scribbled in the margin of a book, arguing with the author. “Say more complicated.” 

-Maria Popova on Darwin

Certain......................

 

I will never be certain about the future. I’ve read too much about the past to be confident about the future. History is full of unpredictable events so the only thing I am confident about is that the future will be full of them too.

On problem solving..................

Walking, on its own, is already great for your brain. It gets the blood flowing, lowers stress hormones, and makes you look like one of those mysterious, deep thinkers who stride purposefully through parks. But when you pair walking with my powerful “What If” hack, your perambulations transform into something far more powerful.

Here’s how it works:

1.   Start walking. This is the easy part.

2.   Instead of spiraling into despair about your unsolvable problem, introduce a single, magical question: “What if?”

That’s it. Those two words are the key.
