What’s the purpose of life? It’s the life itself.
The purpose of your life is to find your purpose and then live it.
Life is pretty meaningless until you give it a meaning.
We need to be ALIVE to stay alive, simple as that.

The Emotional Investment
If you don’t love what you’re building, then you will most likely fail. Even if you’re doing everything else right.
Success isn’t guaranteed, but failure is certain when you’re not invested emotionally in your work.
Finding the Calling
You don’t decide to be an artist, art gets inside of you.
It’s like falling in love. You don’t decide it.
How would you know that you have found your calling, your love, or your art?
You’ll know it when it happens.
The Curious Learner
The biggest enemy to learning is the fear of ‘looking stupid’.
When someone is telling you something important, and you don’t understand, what do you do?
If you ask, you may look like a stupid, for a moment. But if you don’t you will remain stupid for the rest of your life.
The only way to learn new things is to ask questions and be curious.
To learn 10x faster, become comfortable with the feeling of ‘looking stupid.’
The Cure for Ageing
There’s a cure for ageing that no one talks about.
It’s called learning.
Ageing only happens to people who lose their appetite for learning and growing.
Charlie Munger suggests that one should go to bed a little smarter than yesterday. That’s how you compound learning, one day at a time, one book at a time and one idea at a time.
Munger continues to learn every single day.
And that’s why, at the age of 92, he may not be the oldest but definitely the smartest man alive on earth.
