The Infant Learner

Some stuff I read this week:

A.  This week’s Special:- 

Angel Investor :  Naval Ravikant

Naval Ravikant is the CEO and a co-founder of AngelList. He previously co-founded Epinions, which went public as part of Shopping.com, and Vast.com. He is an active angel investor and has invested in more than 100 companies, including Twitter, Uber, Yammer, Stack Overflow and so many others.

Recently he was interviewed by Shane Parrish on the Farnam Street Podcast. Even if you have zero interest in startups or investing, this episode is well worth your time.  This is really about the habits and beliefs of a highly successful (and happy) person.

Naval has refined his way of living in very unique ways, and we can borrow what he’s learned, read the books that have changed him, and experiment with the habits he has developed through trial and error.Kindly access to the below link for detailed interview :

“I read everything: annual reports, 10k’s, 10q’s, biographies, histories, five newspapers a day. On airplanes, I read the instructions on the backs of seats. Reading is key. Reading has made me rich over time” – Warren Buffett

“I 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” – Charlie Munger

You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better”-  Carol Dweck
