Clear Thinking - Quotes | Shane Parrish - Part 1

Here’s part of quotes from Shane Parrish’s Clear Thinking:

• Results are a function of position. You don’t need to be smarter than others to outperform them if you can out-position them.
• Working with a master firsthand is the best education; it’s the surest way of raising the bar. Their excellence demands your excellence.
• Your exemplars needn’t be alive. They can be either dead or fictional, as well. We can learn from both Atticus Finch and Warren Buffett, along with Genghis Khan and Batman. It’s up to you.
• Every ordinary moment is an opportunity to make the future easier or harder. It all depends on whether you’re thinking clearly.
• What happens in ordinary moments determines your future. We’re taught to focus on the big decisions, rather than the moments where we don’t even realize we’re making a choice. Yet these ordinary moments often matter more to our success than the big decisions. This can be difficult to appreciate.
• When failure is expensive, it’s worth investing in large margins of safety.
