If you want to bother someone, hire them to dig a hole and fill it in again. If you want to torture them, pay them tremendously to do it.
We need meaningful work. We're miserable if we don't see the purpose of what we do. Even boring work is good if you can see how it helps.

Twain stated: "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
Before I left, I posted about how excited I was for the trip on Facebook. I received several congratulatory comments from people, but many of them were accompanied by the words, "be careful." Many others expressed words of greater caution to me messages. inc.com/john-white/the-one-t…

Here's a nice profile in the @nytimes on early retirement (which is now a "Movement" these days if you can believe it!) - old MMM lurks in the background but many friends are profiled nytimes.com/2018/09/01/style…

Our mind shapes the world we live in.

The world we live in shapes our mind.
It is probably easier to change our mind than the world.

Common question I get: "What do you think about roboadvisors vs. Vanguard?"
When I ask them what they chose, 50% of people say "I dunno, I haven't decided." Their money continues to sit in cash
Not choosing probably cost many of them $50,000+
Analysis paralysis is a killer

Personal development and business development are one and the same.

I'm featured in a @CNNMoney story about my mini-retirement. Not a bad gift on my birthday and last day of work! Also, I guess that whole anonymity thing is blown. idreamoffire.com/so-long-ano…

Check out this post. Great exercise to understand your lifetime savings rate and what you have to show for all those hours and years of working. Looking at mine inspired me to earn more and save more.
