영어원서읽기. 가을추천원서) 원칙 Principles by Ray Dalio

아마존 킨들에서 대여해 보다가.

또. 대여기간 2주가 지나버렸다.

한달 정도 대여해주면 좋을텐데 속절없이 지나가는 2주라는 시간.

 

아침에 일어나서, 잠자기전에만 책을 읽을 수 있다보니 시간이 부족한 요즘.

새벽에 좀 더 일찍일어나 책을 더 읽어야겠다 다짐해본다.

 

 

 

 

다 끝내지는 못했지만 읽은 부분 중 하이라이트한 구석구석을 타이핑해놓는다.

- Having a good set of principles is like having a good collection of recipes for success

 

- If you can think for yourself while being open-minded in a clearheaded way to find out what is best for you to do, and if you can summon up the courage to do it, you will make the most of your life

 

- from Thoreau: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

 

- But unlike hight school, I loved college because I could learn about things that interested me, not because I had to, so I got great grades.

 

- In trading you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time. If you are not aggressive, you are not going to make money, and if you are not defensive, you are not going to keep money.

 

- So the question was how to "cross the dangerous jungle" without getting killed. In retrospect, my crash was one of the best things that ever happened to me because it gave me the humility I needed to balance my aggressiveness. I learned a great fear of being wrong that shifted my mind-set from thinking "I'm right" to asking myself "How do I know I'm right?" And I saw clearly that the best way to answer this question is by finding other independent thinkers who are on the same mission as me and who see things differently from me.

 

- I saw that the only way I could succeed would be to:

1. Seek out the smartest people who disagreed with me so I could try to understand their reasoning

2. Know when not to have an opinion.

3. Develop, test, and systemize timeless and universal principles.

4. Balance risks in ways that keep the big upside while reducing the downside.

 

- Most are too much one way and not enough another. Typically, by doing what comes naturally to us, we fail to account for our weakness, which leads us to crash. What happens after we crash is most important. Successful people change in ways that allow them to continue to take advantage of their strengths while compensating for their weeknesses and unsuccessful people don't. ... beneficial change begins when you can acknowledge and even embrace your weaknesses.

 

- Looking back on getting fired from Apple in 1985, Steve Jobs said, "It was awful-tasing medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did."

 I saw that to do exceptionally well you have to push your limits and that, if you push your limits, you will crash and it will hurt a lot. You will think you have failed- but that won't be true unless you give up. Believe it or not, your pain will fade and you will have many other opportunities ahead of you, though you might not see them at the time. The most important thing you can do is to gather the lessons these failures provide and gain humility and radical open-mindedness in order to increase your chances of success. Then you press on.

 

 

- Having a few good uncorrelated return streams is better than having just one, and knowing how to combine return streams is even more effective than being able to choose good ones (though of course you have to do both)

 

- If a mistake happened and you logged it, you were okay. If you didn't log it, you would be in deep trouble

 

- Looking back, I can't say that the challenges were easier or harder at any of the various phases we went through. They were just different. For example, when I had no one to manage, I had the challenge of having to do almost everything myself. When I learned and earned enough to pay others, I had the chanllenge of managing them. Similarly, the challenges of wrestling with market and economic swings were constantly changing. I didn't think about it then, but it's obvious to me now that while one gets better at things over time, it doesn't become any easier if one is also progressing to higher levels--- the Olympic athelte finds his sport to be every bit as challenging as the novice does.

 

- Moreover, I recognized that managers who do not understand people's different thinking styles cannot understand how the people working for them will handle different situations, which is like a foreman not understanding how his equipment will behave.

 

- To me, the greatest success you can have as the person in charge is to orchestrate others to do things well without you. A step below that is doing things well yourself, and worst of all is doing things poorly yourself.

 

- New words: coalesced, granular, plummet
