Special thanks to my friends at Readwise.io/morgan for making this happen.

Different Kinds of BS
Jeff Bezos once said there are different kinds of smart. Distinguishing the various flavors is important because if you think smarts comes in just one form, you’ll miss dozens of other nuanced varieties.
BS is the same. It comes in countless forms, some harder to spot than others. False modesty, projecting, double standards, hypocrisy, tugging at heartstrings – these aren’t lies; they’re subtle forms of BS which is why they’re so prevalent.

Quiet Compounding
"Nature is not in a hurry, yet everything is accomplished,” said Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.

It’s quiet compounding, and it’s a wonder to see.
I like the idea of quietly compounding your money. Just like in nature, it’s where you’ll find the most impressive results.

Simple stories, feel-good stories. Those are some of history’s most seductive beliefs, and they always will be.
Here are a few that stick out.

The Long Run Is Just A Collection of Short Runs
Every great idea can be taken too far. Take the notion that investors should ignore the short run.
It's important to recognize that the long run is just a collection of short runs, and capturing long-term growth means managing the short run effectively enough to ensure you can stick around for a long time.
