장기적인 사고

 

 

Do something that you're very passionate about.

 

Don't try to chase what is kind of the hot passion of the day.

 

Gold Rush. Doctors quit being doctor and started panning for gold.

 

That almost never works. Even if it does work according to some metric financial success or whatever it might be.

 

I suspect that it leaves you ultimately unsatisfied.

 

You really need to be very clear with your self.

 

I think one of the best ways to do that is this notion of projecting yourself forward to age 80 and looking back on your life and trying to minimize the number of regrets you have.

 

That works for career decisions, family decisions.

 

I have 14 months old son, and it is very easy for me that I would wanna watch that kid grow up if I think about myself at age 80. I don't wanna be 80 and think "shoot, I missed that whole thing and I don't have the kind of relationship with my son that I wished I had" and so on and so on.

 

I always recommend to people that you always take long term point of view.

 

It is actually quiet controversial among people.

 

A lot of people believe that you should live for the now.

 

I think what you do is you think about the great expanse of time ahead of you

 

and try to make sure that you are planning for that in a way that's gonna leave you ultimately satisfied.
