Life blindspots are everything we don't know about what we should know to get what we want from life. | ||
| ||
How seeing further helps me? | ||
Everything in life you have today, your kids, wife, job, body fit, home, $ in bank, company, car… is a result of your decisions. | ||
“Think of every decision as a bet with a probability and a reward for being right and a probability and a penalty for being wrong. Normally a winning decision is one with a positive expected value, meaning that the reward times its probability of occurring is greater than the penalty times its probability of occurring, with the best decision being the one with the highest expected value.” | ||
As you can read above, Ray Dalio, one of the most successful business men in history, treats decisions as simply a Bet and the result of your life is the sum of the millions of bets you do during your life time. | ||
By destroying you blindspots and climbing the life ladder, you will be able to take better decisions and thats what life result is all about. | ||
How can I destroy my blindspots? | ||
Destroying your blindspots is basically understanding how the world behaves, the only way you can understand that is by: | ||
- Trying different things, stop talking to your bubble, meet everyone, from business billionaire men, to grandmas that like cooking cookies. | ||
- Read: Forget about the audiobooks summaries, read everything you can, focus on books suggestions from people you admire so you don't waste your time(if you liked this post, read “Principles”). | ||
- Think: nowadays people are too lazy to even think.. but think about how you could have made a better past bet is one of the best ways to improve future decisions making. | ||
