The Worldly Wisdom of Charlie Munger
Charlie Munger
Life will allow you to feel sad for as long as you wish. Your story could be sad but it may not be the truth.
The truth is that you need to embrace life with all its messiness and difficulties.
That attitude of acceptance is the key to liberation from all sufferings.
Freedom is a matter of choice.
You’ve been given this great gift of choice: the freedom to choose how you see life and respond to it.
Remember, you’re already free and always have been.
The trick to happiness is to focus on things that we can control.
The recipe of unhappiness is to concern ourselves with everything else.
It’s not the ignorance that gets us.
It’s being ignorant about our ignorance.
That means the first step to wisdom is the awareness of our ignorance.
First get comfortable ‘not knowing’. And then do something about it.
Don’t be an a-dull-t.
Allow the child inside you to come out and play.
