Happy Saturday!
Here are 3 ideas, 2 quotes, and 1 question to ponder this week.
3 IDEAS FROM ME
I.
Focus is the art of knowing what to ignore.
II.
On minimalism:
The goal is not to have the least amount of things, but the optimal amount of things.
Two important footnotes:
(1) The optimal amount depends on your goals.
(2) The optimal amount is almost always less than you think.
III.
Reading is like a software update for your brain.
Whenever you learn a new concept or idea, the “software” improves. You download new features and fix old bugs.
In this way, reading a good book can give you a new way to view your life experiences. Your past is fixed, but your interpretation of it can change depending on the software you use to analyze it.
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I.
Jeffrey D. Sachs, an economist and author, on money, spending, and status:
“Living doesn’t cost much, but showing off does.”

II.
Eliud Kipchoge, one of the great Kenyan philosophers, on legacy:
If you dont write things down then you will be empty. I need to put down everything to show the next generation that I was well organised. That’s I know you what am doing. “They say ink it and you will remember it”.
