As I cleanup some of my old notes, I found these quotes that I have highlighted and separated out.

Career and Work Advice:

“Three rules for a career. 1) Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t buy yourself, 2) Don’t work for anyone you don’t respect and admire, and 3) Work only with people you enjoy.” - Charlie Munger

“You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go” - Jaennette Rankin

“We have always done it this way” - Grace Hopper

“There is one golden rule of investing: If someone tells you they can beat the market without taking on more risk, you should not invest in whatever they are selling.” – Allison Schrager (replace investing with software and market with timelines)

Thinking and Decision Making:

“A lot of financial mistakes come from trying to copy people who are different from you.” – Morgan Housel (delete financial)

“Extreme specialization is the way to succeed. Most people are way better off specializing than trying to understand the world.” - Charlie Munger

“In trying to emulate others, we sacrifice the one edge we inherently have in the market – our unique perspective.” – Vishal Khandelwal

“I’m right and you’re smart, so think on it for a few minutes and you’ll agree with me.” - Charlie Munger

“Thinking doesn’t guarantee that we won’t make mistakes. But not thinking guarantees that we will.” - Leslie Lamport

“The best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Evolution and Change:

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.” - Charles Darwin

“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop” - Herb Stein

“All of the things that we put a lot of energy into have to be durable in time. Not every company follows this principle, and I believe it’s always a mistake. If you base your strategies on things that are transient, then you have to change your strategy too frequently.” - Jeff Bezos

“We believe not growing is stagnation, which leads to zero-sum thinking, internal fighting, degradation, collapse, and ultimately death.” - Marc Andreessen

Wisdom and Philosophy:

“Its easier to invent the future than to predict it” - Alan Kay
