"Struggling with this now:
-made amazing money and felt empty
-traveled until I got board with it
-partied until I realized that I could either have a drinking hobby or a life worth living
I’ve been rich, poor, and everything in between and it all feels empty because the people we spend our lives with are the only thing that counts and, as an aging man, it’s next to impossible to connect with people that aren't willing to take the time out of their artificially busy lives to hang out.
Winning isn’t amassing more shit, or having an all-in hobby that means nothing of substance ever happens, it’s a strong community filled with people that really care."

1. A salary is the drug your employer gives you to forget your dreams.
2. If you continue to wait for the "right time", you'll waste your entire life and nothing will happen.
6. You'll be 10x happier if you forgive your parents and stop blaming them for your problems.
7. Train yourself to let people win arguments on purpose to conserve your mental health.
8. You become more mature when you train yourself to take nothing personally.
10. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action + self-discipline.
12. You can't expect honesty from people who lie to themselves.
13. People are stuck in toxic relationships because they're afraid to be alone.
14. The most difficult mission on earth is to focus on your actual dreams. The easiest mission is to complain.
15. The most important decision you will ever make is who you will have children with.

"It is often very illuminating… to ask yourself how you got at the facts on which you base your opinion. Who actually saw, heard, felt, counted, named the thing, about which you have an opinion? Was it the man who told you, or the man who told him, or someone still further removed? And how much was he permitted to see?
[…]
You can ask yourself these questions, but you can rarely answer them. They will remind you, however, of the distance which often separates your public opinion from the event with which it deals. And the reminder is itself a protection." - Walter Lippmann

"Basically, when you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.
I know people who have a lot of money, and they get testimonial dinners and they get hospital wings named after them. But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them. If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
That's the ultimate test of how you have lived your life. The trouble with love it that you can't buy it. You can buy sex. You can buy testimonial dinners. You can buy pamphlets that say how wonderful you are. But the only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get." - Warren Buffet
