Everyone has an opinion, especially those who never achieved much, and you should distantly pay attention to what they have to say in order to avoid the same fate. #orangebook #Opinion #Advice #Success

They say “most businesses fail, most marriages fail, most investments fail” but then you look at the average person who represents “most” of those attempts, and you realize how little humility they have in business, how little intellectual and emotional connection they have in marriage, and how little long-term conviction they have in investing. #orangebook #Failure #Humility #Conviction

One of the most common mistakes that people make is to think of their energy as something to save. To feel drained is to be distracted. High-energy people are just people actively focused on meaningful goals. #orangebook #Energy #Focus #Goals

Old people who didn’t have the intelligence to work smart, who made a lot of sacrifices and suffered a lot to get where they are, love to be preachy and resentful towards the smart young people who achieved ten times more in ten times less time, as if being inefficient and struggling made them a more virtuous person. #orangebook #WorkSmart #Sacrifice #Resentful

Luck is self-respect for your own time: people waste so much time arguing about things that don't matter, building relationships with people who don't care, living in places where they feel no connection, and investing in everything but in their talents, their vision, their future #orangebook #SelfRespect #TimeManagement #PersonalGrowth

Many successful, talented, and humble people are being portrayed as arrogant because, in the eyes of insecure individuals, self-confidence and arrogance look identical. True humility has little to do with how you speak or how the media depicts you, and everything to do with the "invisible" efforts you make in private, when no one is watching. #orangebook #Humility #SelfConfidence #Perception

The most talented people actually have very little ego and pride; they are ready to learn from anyone if that helps them get closer to their goals; if anything, they are only proud of their own efforts and of sticking to the highest standards in a world where people are proud of fitting in; and the opposite is true, the most average people are full of ego and pride; they have a very strong idea of what they deserve even though they are never ready to pay the price; they look down on the amount of efforts it takes to build a wealthy life; they are quick to get offended and actually subconsciously put themselves in environments where they never have to question themselves. #orangebook #Ego #Talent #GrowthMindset

Most "drama" are born between people who fell in love with the comfort of lowering their standards until they started blaming each other for not living the life they wanted. #orangebook #Relationships #Standards #Expectations

Getting physically, mentally, spiritually healthy is a natural consequence of genuinely caring about the people you love. Your family and friends want to hang out with the version of yourself that is full of energy, confidence, self-love, not the one that is constantly tired, anxious, self-hating. The quality of your relationships is actually the quality of your self-focus. #orangebook #Health #Relationships #SelfLove

The worst circumstances actually teach you how to appreciate the best circumstances, you just need to stay mentally resilient, believe in your ability to relearn who you are, and execute on a long-term plan that will lead you there. #orangebook #Resilience #Mindset #Planning

Taking risks is actually therapy. #orangebook #RiskTaking #Therapy #MentalHealth

Counterintuitively, you will actually feel "busy" all the time as long as you don't have a clear goal, and you will naturally become more efficient and get much more done once you have plenty of meaningful goals, because you will learn to trim the fat and focus on what matters. #orangebook #GoalSetting #Productivity #Efficiency

So much of getting luckier as you get older boils down to the quality of your everyday conversations, hence to the quality of the person you married. #orangebook #Luck #Conversations #Relationships

People who lack the courage to act love to come up with statistics about how most businesses fail, most marriages fail, how they are already too old, how they were not blessed with "talent," but if they actually had the intelligence to think about their problems with more depth, they'd quickly realize that most businesses fail because most people are ignorant yet arrogant, most marriages fail because most people are not even in a healthy relationship with themselves, and that when it comes to age and talent, the real problem was precisely that mindset that they always had ever since they were younger, and also their inability to unlearn and relearn the way they saw the world and tackled their problems. No one overthinks as much as a coward who chooses to play the victim about where they are in life. #orangebook #Courage #Mindset #Victimhood

If you have enough energy to worry about it, it means your focus is insufficient, it means you are not truly serious about your goals, otherwise, all your energy would be spent on increasing your chances of success, with none left for making pessimistic scenarios in your mind. #orangebook #Focus #Goals #Success

Relationships are actually quite simple if you don’t have the bad habit of closing your eyes when people show you who they are. #orangebook #Relationships #Honesty #Perception

If you spend most of your time telling other people what to do, you are around the wrong people. #orangebook #Leadership #Management #Teamwork

So many parents do the thinking for their kids, protect them instead of educating them, give them advantages instead of teaching them how to position themselves intelligently, doubt and worry about them instead of trusting and believing in them, then years later, wonder why their kids are mentally weak, insecure, entitled. A good parent gives hints and raises awareness around the available resources, they don’t walk the journey for their kids. #orangebook #Parenting #ChildDevelopment #Mentorship

Sadly, most people don’t really want to fix their problems, they feel proud of being busy and having fires to put out all the time (even if it’s due to their own incompetence or arrogance), they want to play the victim, they want to have their “feelings heard.” You want sustainable peace of mind, build relationships with problem solvers, not drama makers. #orangebook #ProblemSolving #Mindset #VictimMentality

Anxiety is reality telling you that you are not walking in the right direction in life, don’t ignore that voice, or it only gets louder as you get older. #orangebook #Anxiety #LifeDirection #SelfAwareness
