“There’s a big difference between probability and outcome. Probable things fail to happen—and improbable things happen—all the time.” That’s one of the most important things you can know about investment risk.”
― Howard Marks, The Most Important Thing: Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor

“Untuk mati, orang tidak memerlukan kepandaian maupun bakat yang istimewa. Siapa pun dapat mati sewaktu-waktu, dengan cara yang dikehendaki atau dipilihnya. Sebaliknya, untuk hidup, orang membutuhkan keberanian, kecakapan yang kadang-kadang luar biasa. Setiap hari banyak orang yang mati, dengan mudah tanpa usaha atau daya upaya. Tetapi setiap hari berjuta-juta orang berjuang dengan susah payah untuk hidup.”
― Nh. Dini, Keberangkatan

“How many young college graduates have taken demanding jobs in high-powered firms, vowing that they will work hard to earn money that will enable them to retire and pursue their real interests when they are thirty-five? But by the time they reach that age, they have large mortgages, children to school, houses in the suburbs that necessitate at least two cars per family, and a sense that life is not worth living without really good wine and expensive holidays abroad. What are they supposed to do, go back to digging up roots? No, they double their efforts and keep slaving away.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
