#018 How to get rich (by Naval Ravikant)-轉貼文章
閱讀時間約 11 分鐘
Naval Ravikant is an Indian American entrepreneur and founder of AngelList, a platform for anyone wanting to invest in, or work at, a startup. As an investor he has taken stakes in over 100 companies including Uber, FourSquare, Twitter.
It’s fair to say that Naval Ravikant know’s his shit.
What’s better is that he is not afraid to share it on Twitter and for us, he’s a must follow.
This is a straight repost of the awesome thread: ‘How to Get Rich (without getting lucky)’:
- Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.
- Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
- Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.
- You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity — a piece of a business — to gain your financial freedom.
- You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.
- Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.
- The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven’t figured this out yet.
- Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
- Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.
- Don’t partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
- Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
- Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.
- Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for. If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
- Specific knowledge is found by pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion rather than whatever is hot right now.
- Building specific knowledge will feel like play to you but will look like work to others.
- When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.
- Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated.
- Embrace accountability, and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage.
- The most accountable people have singular, public, and risky brands: Oprah, Trump, Kanye, Elon.
- “Give me a lever long enough, and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.” — Archimedes
- Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media).
- Capital means money. To raise money, apply your specific knowledge, with accountability, and show resulting good judgement.
- Labor means people working for you. It’s the oldest and most fought-over form of leverage. Labor leverage will impress your parents, but don’t waste your life chasing it.
- Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you.
- Code and media are permissionless leverage. They’re the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.
- An army of robots is freely available — it’s just packed in data centers for heat and space efficiency. Use it.
- If you can’t code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts.
- Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgement.
- Judgement requires experience, but can be built faster by learning foundational skills.
- There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes.
- Study microeconomics, game theory, psychology, persuasion, ethics, mathematics, and computers.
- Reading is faster than listening. Doing is faster than watching.
- You should be too busy to “do coffee,” while still keeping an uncluttered calendar.
- Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it. If outsourcing a task will cost less than your hourly rate, outsource it.
- Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.
- Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.
- There are no get rich quick schemes. That’s just someone else getting rich off you.
- Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve.
- When you’re finally wealthy, you’ll realize that it wasn’t what you were seeking in the first place. But that’s for another day.
Powerful stuff.

這個秋，Chill 嗨嗨！穿搭美美去賞楓，裝備款款去露營⋯⋯你的秋天怎麼過？秋日 To Do List 等你分享！
秋季全站徵文，我們準備了五個創作主題，參賽還有機會獲得「火烤兩用鍋」，一起來看看如何參加吧～
美國總統大選只剩下三天， 我們觀察一整週民調與金融市場的變化（包含賭局）， 到本週五下午3:00前為止， 誰是美國總統幾乎大概可以猜到60-70%的機率， 本篇文章就是以大選結局為主軸來討論近期甚至到未來四年美股可能的改變
Faker昨天真的太扯了，中國主播王多多點評的話更是精妙，分享給各位
王多多的點評
「Faker是我們的處境，他是LPL永遠繞不開的一個人和話題，所以我們特別渴望在決賽跟他相遇，去直面我們的處境。
我們曾經稱他為最高的山，最長的河，以為山海就是盡頭，可是Faker用他28歲的年齡...
最近閱讀塗子沛的《第二大腦》，其中關於神經元的描述，
啟發我看Obsidian筆記的新角度。
神經元接收資訊的部分叫做樹突 (Dendrites)，
向外傳遞資訊的部分軸突 (Axons)。
第一大腦中的神經元接收與傳遞資訊，
正好對應第二大腦中使用筆記去閱讀與寫作。
這已經不是我第一次見到Internal Server Error了，去年的10月也發生過一次。那個時候是尋求協助，但印象是尋求到不是負責這個事情的窗口，但是不對的窗口仍舊直接幫我處理掉問題。所以就到此為止。
◆發哥不愧是老牌影帝，G8皇帝演得真好
◆對鞏俐的印象主要是唐伯虎點秋香，但是各方面覺得很厲害，喝毒藥手發抖的地方演的十分到位
◆皇后的服裝設計很厲害
◆宮女不知為何一邊衣服都沒穿好，原本是固定一邊，但是最後又換了一邊
◆比起讓皇帝死，讓他生不如死應該才是皇后的目的
◆貴圈超亂
文中提到
目前的五個世代
這跟之前在Tibame上過的某項課程有點像
職場上的狀況
高管大部分是嬰兒潮世代
中階主管大部分是X世代、Y世代
基層則大部分是Z世代、α世代
之前擔任連長時還曾被小兵叫我大叔😅
這邊提出三點的建議
第一要有共同話題
第二要能換位思考
第三要能包容對方

童年 前來探我
它說黑暗已經遠離
也驅逐那曾傷我的惡魔
回憶陳舊
歲月已遠去
老屋子早已易主
人事已非。還有什麼過不去的呢
它又問了一句。妳還好嗎
我搖了搖頭。說
人還在 心還在
舊日傷痛並沒有全離開
朝夕與我共生
只是幸好幸好
那經過親情百般撕裂的心
至少還能從裂
現在望向窗外，看到的景色幾乎都是橘色系，行人道上、腳踏車道上也是滿滿的落葉，雖然落葉難免會造成一些不便，但這樣的景色深深吸引著我。當我騎腳踏車穿梭在街道巷弄時，眼前的美景讓我忍不住停下腳踏車，並用手機捕捉眼前的美好，好讓家人能一起欣賞眼前的美景。

有朋友問我：「勞基法不是說…是保障勞工最低的標準嗎？？為何還是有資方無法遵守？？」、「人資跟法務到底在幹嗎！！老闆不知道法規，你們要提醒阿！！」諸如此類的推文，常常在各大交流平台中出現…到底是為何會有這種現象呢？
前陣子突然想問寵物溝通，應該是說有這個念頭已經很久了，只是我一直沒有鼓起勇氣去問，總覺得可以先緩緩。我們家有兩隻過世的狗狗。然後我就預約了線上寵物溝通的服務，1200元/半小時。
