Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you eat, invest, and think according to what the ‘news’ advocates, you’ll end up nutritionally, financially and morally bankrupt.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Reality is neutral. Reality has no judgments. To a tree, there’s no concept of right or wrong or good or bad. You’re born, you have a whole set of sensory experiences… and then you die. How you choose to interpret that is up to you. And you do have that choice.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Modern society will shame you for earning money, shame you for being happy, shame you for being raised well, shame you for having children, and ultimately, shame you for existing. It isn’t just religion that controls you by declaring you a sinner.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant

Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Humans are always signaling. Rather than really looking at yourself, you’re looking at how other people look at you.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Suffering is a moment of clarity, when you can no longer deny the truth of a situation and are forced into uncomfortable change. Inside suffering is the seed of change.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant

Morality and ethics automatically emerge when we realize the long term consequences of our actions.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Anger is a loss of control over the situation, and it is a contract that you’re making with yourself — that you’re going to literally be in physical and mental and emotional turmoil.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Just focus on the one or two really really important things, and everything else, just surrender to it. Just take it as it comes. Just accept it. Be glad with it. Be happy that you’re in this world.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
You realize just how precious life is and how it’s important to make sure that you enjoy yourself, you sleep well at night, you’re a good moral person, you’re generally happy, you take care of other people, you help out, but you can’t take it too seriously.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant

Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you want to be successful, surround yourself with people who are more successful than you are. If you want to be happy, surround yourself with people who are less successful.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Don’t return it, give it away. Don’t keep fixing it, create something new. Don’t force the relationship, find someone else.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Think clearly from the ground up. Understand and explain from first principles. Ignore society and politics. Acknowledge what you have. Control your emotions.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The best relationships are peer relationships. When given power over others, our ego justifies it by assuming we are smarter. Better to have people work with us than for us.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I think it just helps to be very aware that fundamentally, there are no adults. Everyone is making it up as they go along. You have to find your own path, picking, choosing, taking and discarding as you see fit.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I think almost everything about humans and human civilization is explained better by evolution than anything else.

My definition of wisdom is knowing the long term consequences of your actions.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
It’s a contradiction that we all deal with. That we all want to be successful people, but we also want to be happy people. The two of those run in almost diametric opposites to each other.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Picking the direction that you’re heading in in every decision is far, far more important than what force you apply. Just pick the right direction to start walking in, and then start walking.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you want to see who rules over you, see who you’re not allowed to criticize.
