"A rational person can find peace by cultivating indifference to things outside of their control."

Though it may feel like you’re getting something done, you’re not. The reality is, the news doesn’t really affect you. It’s good to keep up with the goings on of the world, but don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re being productive by doing so. You’re not doing anything. Go do your work.

I saw this in a blog without author but I tend to agree. I just think if  affects you a lot. You think you are working and news specially if it's opinion can get into your thought process.

Read History, study facts, hard data and forget the weekly theme. You can't make money on news because they are all incorporated in the prices and there are a lot of negative news that relly enter your mind.

Just turn down your tv and get some silence.

 Fake compliments are horrible , but if you can congratulate your kids for something well done, make a party it's even better.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

Nothing creates cool like scarcity.

Neil Blumenthal

I was dining recently with a particular successful young man who is trying very hard to be happy, but he takes such a complicated, strenuous view of everything that his happiness is always flying from him. He drives everything so fiercely, his life is so vigorous, so complicated, that happiness can not find a home with him very long. Nor does he understand why. He has money , health,; but he always has that restless far-away, absent minded gaze into something beyond, and I do not think he is ever really very happy. His whole manner of living is extremely complex. He does not seem to know where to find happiness. He has evidently mistaken the very nature of happiness. He thinks it consists in making a great show, in having great possessions, in doing things which attract a great deal of attention; but happiness would be strangled, suffocated in such an environment. The essentials of real happiness are few, simple, and close at hand. Happiness is made up of very simple ingredients. It flees from the complex life. It evades pomp and show. The heart would starve amid great luxuries. Simple joys and the treasures of the heart and mind make happiness.

...
One of the most pathetic pictures in civilization is the great army of men and woman searching the world over for happiness, as though it existed in things rather than in a state of mind.

The best Hedge Funds were created many years ago.

 In all my life the guy with the best bike does not win , the one with the best tennis racquet is a terrible player, my vision is always the guy with the best gadget is hiding some weakness.

If you don't have I-Phone 13 or whatever it is I think you lose nothing. Content , your idea is more important.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
