Our modern world seeks to focus us towards the short term and praises quarterly growth. But in the real world, away from high frequency ledger entries and global capital flows. It takes 100-120 years for an oak tree to grow from seed to full canopy height. It takes three human generations to grow a tree.

Your personal experiences make up maybe 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world but maybe 80% of how you think the world works.

James Dyson on solving problems:

“You are just as likely to solve a problem by being unconventional and determined as by being brilliant.”

"The economy is just smart people paying beautiful people to promote stuff to insecure people." — @ShaanVP

“A simple rule for life and work:

Don’t rush, but don’t wait.

Thoughtful action.”
