"Many Ways to Say I Love You" - Day 12
Mister Rogers talks about what is love, and says that love seems to be something that fills us up from the inside and the more we give away, the more we have to give:


【川普政策顧問提議 #北約 保護傘改「#分級制」】

美國前總統 #川普 競選團隊政策顧問、前國安官員 #凱洛格(#KeithKellogg),13日在接受路透社訪問時稱,若北約成員國未能將國內生產毛額(GDP)的2%用於國防支出,他將支持取消該成員國享有的「#北約第五條」保護。

除此之外,凱洛格也稱,若川普在11月的美國🇺🇸總統大選中獲勝,他可能會建議北約在明年6月召開會議「討論該聯盟的未來」。他表示,北約可能將成為一個「#分級聯盟」,讓部分 #遵守創始條款的成員國享有更大的保護。

此前,川普在競選場合的演說中宣稱,一名北約成員國的元首曾在會中向他表示,若未履行北約財政義務,該國遭到俄羅斯🇷🇺攻擊時是否仍會獲得保護?對此,川普不僅表示不會保護該國,還會 鼓勵俄羅斯「為所欲為」。

The Joys Of Compounding: The Passionate Pursuit Of Lifelong Learning by Gautam Baid is is a treasure trove of wisdom and insights for anyone who wants to improve themselves and their lives through continuous learning and growth. Here are seven lessons that I found particularly valuable and inspiring:

1: The power of compounding applies not only to money, but also to knowledge, skills, habits, and relationships. Baid shows how small, consistent, and incremental improvements in any area of life can lead to exponential results over time. He also explains how to avoid the pitfalls of negative compounding, such as procrastination, distraction, and complacency.

2: The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself. 
Baid emphasizes the importance of developing a lifelong learning mindset and cultivating a passion for curiosity and discovery. He shares his own journey of reading, learning, and applying the ideas of various mentors and role models, from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. He also provides practical tips and resources on how to read more, learn faster, and retain better.

3: The quality of your decisions determines the quality of your life. 
Baid reveals how to improve your decision making process by using mental models, frameworks, and principles from various disciplines, such as psychology, economics, philosophy, and mathematics. He also warns against the common cognitive biases and errors that can cloud your judgment and lead to suboptimal outcomes.

4: The key to success is not intelligence, talent, or luck, but persistence, discipline, and hard work. 
Baid illustrates how to overcome the challenges and obstacles that inevitably arise in the pursuit of your goals and dreams. He advocates for adopting a growth mindset, a stoic attitude, and a resilient spirit. He also shares the habits and routines that can help you stay focused, motivated, and productive.

5: The most important asset you have is your reputation. 
Baid stresses the value of building trust, credibility, and integrity in your personal and professional relationships. He advises how to avoid the temptations of short-term gains and unethical behavior that can damage your reputation and ruin your long-term prospects. He also suggests how to handle criticism, feedback, and failure with grace and humility.

6: The greatest source of happiness is not money, fame, or power, but gratitude, generosity, and service. 
Baid explores the meaning and purpose of life and the role of happiness and fulfillment in it. He argues that the ultimate goal of life is not to accumulate wealth and possessions, but to create value and make a positive difference in the world. He also encourages how to practice gratitude, generosity, and service as a way of expressing your appreciation and giving back to society.

7: The journey is more important than the destination.
Baid reminds us that life is not a race, but a journey of exploration, experimentation, and enjoyment. He urges us to savor the present moment, appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature, and cherish the love and friendship of our family and friends. He also inspires us to pursue our passions, express our creativity, and follow our curiosity.

These are just some of the many lessons that I learned from reading The Joys Of Compounding. This book is not only a guide to value investing, but also a guide to living a rich and fulfilling life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn from the best and become the best version of themselves. I hope you will find this book as enlightening and empowering as I did. Happy reading!😊
