“Over many decades, our usual practice is that if [the stock of] something we like goes down, we buy more and more. Sometimes something happens, you realize you’re wrong, and you get out.

― Tren Griffin, Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor

“What is elementary, worldly wisdom? Well, the first rule is that you can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts and try and bang ’em back.

― Tren Griffin, Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor

“constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up, and boy, does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you. … So if civilization can progress only with an advanced method of invention, you can progress only when you learn the method of learning. Nothing has served me better in my long life than continuous learning. I went through life constantly practicing (because if you don’t practice it, you lose it) the multidisciplinary approach and I can’t tell you what that’s done for me. It’s made life more fun, it’s made me more constructive, it’s made me more helpful to others, and it’s made me enormously rich. You name it, that attitude really helps. —CHARLIE MUNGER, USC LAW SCHOOL, 2007”
― Tren Griffin, Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor

― Tren Griffin, Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor

“The reason we are not in high-tech businesses is that we have a special lack of aptitude in that area. And, yes—low-tech business can be plenty hard.

― Tren Griffin, Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor

“تعلَّقت أنظار العازفين بعصا المايسترو الذي أشار بها لحيز "الكونترباص" فرفعت القوس ونزلت به فوق الأوتار عازفًا الاستهلال بتموجٍ متوازٍ، وسرعان ما تحوّل إلى تدرج نغميّ متصاعد ثم وضعت سحر أصابع يدها اليمنى على الأوتار وشدتها برفق لتكوّن نغمة هادئة مفعمة بالشجن تستقي هدوءها وعذوبتها من قوسي الذي ظل يعزف بتدرج شديد الحساسية، فشيَّدنا معًا المطلع الموسيقي الفريد للحن "حبيب الروح"،”
― عبد السلام إبراهيم, ميراث الشمس

“To make money they didn’t have and didn’t need, they risked what they did have and did need. And that’s foolish. It is just plain foolish. If you risk something that is important to you for something that is unimportant to you, it just does not make any sense.”
― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money
