“We read a lot. I don’t know anyone wise who doesn’t read a lot. But that’s not enough: You have to have a temperament to grab ideas and do sensible things. Most people don’t grab the right ideas or don’t know what to do with them.”
— Charlie Munger
I am a voracious reader. For me, it is extremely important to read at least for 45 minutes every day. I have picked up on this practice since 2017 and have never stopped. The days I read are better than the ones I don't.
Many have requested that I start a section on my website, highlighting my favorite books and reads, so welcome to my public library. The list isn't complete or absolute; overtime, I'll add more titles to it.
I gift every CEO I partner multiple books, combining the ones I believe are essential for decacorn building and some materials that will likely help them into their journey, taking a personalized approach to every investment.
You should read a lot if you want to be competent. It helps you concentrate, learn how to learn, and lastly, you get free on-demand mentorship.
I used to think that you could only talk about failure once you had succeeded. It is a frequent narrative we see as founders/investors.
Protecting yourself from your mind and ego is a daily endeavor. When you are not present, the voice of your thoughts comes in and dominates you.
Chaos is where the best opportunities arise. No wonder it was such a profitable year for everything technology-related. It's time to build.
