The Worldly Wisdom of Charlie Munger
Charlie Munger
Creativity is not just about producing something new.
It’s also, and actually more, about looking at the same old things with new eyes. And then taking your fresh view and presenting it to others, through your art, in such a manner that they can also experience it.
Enabling others to see beauty in mundane things, that’s the joy of being creative artist.
Questions are the answer.
Questions have immense power. A genuine quality of life comes from consistent, quality questions.
Remember, it’s not only the questions you ask, but the questions you fail to ask that shape your destiny.
Albert Einstein said –
The important things is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
So don’t sit quietly, hiding behind the confusion like a back bencher. Raise your hand, shoot the question, even if nobody is listening. Keep asking because the universe is just waiting to press the reply button.
Contentment doesn’t come from hoarding, it comes from giving.
True wealth is not a million dollar in the bank. It’s an emotion: it’s a sense of absolute abundance.
When you give away a part of your material wealth, you’re teaching your brain that you have more than enough. The mindset, that you’re beyond the clutches of scarcity, will change your life…forever.
Go…Give…
Collect experiences, not things.
The pleasure of using the latest gadget, the fancy car, or the new designer dress is a mirage, the never ending hedonic treadmill.
The real joy is in remembering and savouring the special moments of your life.
So go out and experience more, laugh more, dance more, sing more, be more…live more.
Deposit more into your “experience bank”.
You are a unique expression of mother nature.
What’s common between all of us is that everyone has been created by with just one purpose. The purpose is to find your life’s calling and then live it.
And don’t forget to expect miracles…because you are one.
