QUOTES BY Naval Ravikant


People who have the ability to fail in public under their own names actually gain a lot of power. 

“Trying” is the biggest mistake you can make early on in a relationship. It sets a false expectation that you will eventually tire of.

No one is going to value you more than you value yourself. 

A busy calendar and a busy mind will destroy your ability to create anything great.

Happiness is a state where nothing is missing.

Nothing you do is going to matter that much in the long run. Don’t take yourself so seriously.

Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.

Meditation is intermittent fasting for the mind. Too much sugar leads to a heavy body, and too many distractions lead to a heavy mind. Time spent undistracted and alone, in self-examination, journaling, meditation, resolves the unresolved and takes us from mentally fat to fit.

We waste our time with short term thinking and busywork. Warren Buffett spends a year deciding and a day acting. That act lasts decades.
