21 Tim Ferriss Quotes About Life

Tim Ferriss Quotes About Life

Most of the time, “What should I do with my life?” is a terrible question.
I believe that life exists to be enjoyed, and that the most important thing is to feel good about yourself.
To enjoy life, you don’t need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren’t as serious as you make them out to be.
To feel more at peace and more successful, you don’t need genius-level brain power, access to some secret society, or to his a moving target of “just” and additional X dollars. Those are all distractions.
If you make yourself laugh every once in a while, at least you will have fun. And that is perhaps the best strategy of all.
If you want confusion and heartache, ask vague questions. If you want uncommon clarity and results, ask uncommonly clear questions.
Service isn’t limited to saving lives or the environment. It can also improve life. If you are a musician and put a smile on the faces of thousands or millions, I view that as service. If you are a mentor and change the life of one child for the better, the world has been improved.
To dramitically change your life, you don’t need to run a 100-mile race, get a PhD, or completely reinvest yourself. It’s the small things, done consistently, that are the big things.
Does your life have a purpose? Are you contributing anything useful to this world, or just shuffling papers, banging on a keyboard, and coming home to a drunken existence on the weekends?
If we’re serious all the time, we’ll wear out before we get the truly serious stuff done. 
This is something that is – being true to oneself – I think that most people struggle with. (Conversation with Josh Waitzkin)
To have an uncommon lifestyle you need to develop the uncommon habit of making decisions, both for yourself and for others.
The tricky thing about life is, on the one hand having the courage to enter into things that are unfamiliar, but also having the wisdom to stop exploring when you’ve found something worth sticking around for. That is true of a place, of a person, of a vocation. Balancing those two things—the courage of exploring and the commitment to staying – and getting the ratio right is very hard. I think my 70-year-old self would say: ‘Be careful that you don’t err on one side or the other, because you have an ill-conceived idea of who you are.
For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect.
If it’s important to you and you want to do it “eventually,” just do it and correct course along the way.
Learn to be difficult when it counts. In school as in life, having a reputation for being assertive will help you receive preferential treatment without having to beg or fight for it every time.
It’s far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor.
To the pregnant void of infinite possibilities, only possible with a lack of obligation, or at least, no compulsive reactivity. Perhaps this is only possible with the negative space to – as Kurt Vonnegut put it – “fart around”? To do things for the hell of it? For no damn good reason at all?
You don’t need to go through life huffing and puffing, straining and red-faced. You can get 95% of the results you want by calmly putting one foot in front of the other.
For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.
Often, all that stands between you and what you want is a better set of questions.

31 Tim Ferriss Quotes About Money, Investing And Startups

Tim Ferriss Quotes About Money
Enough is enough. Lemmings no more. The blind quest for cash is a fool’s errand.
True freedom is much more than having enough income and time to do what you want.
If you can free your time and location, your money is automatically worth 3-10 times as much.
The majority of my finances come from early-stage startup investing.
For me, money is not a prime motivator. It’s one criterion that I can use to filter out opportunities. My high is the eureka moment when I find, or I am taught, a non-obvious way of solving a problem.
Where can you trade money for time? Where can you spend money that creates more time tomorrow or next week? That is almost always a good investment.
1 000 000$ in the bank isn’t the fantasy. The fantasy is the lifestyle of complete freedom it supposedly allows.
Being financially rich and having the ability to live like a millionaire are fundamentally two very different things.
Money is multiplied in practical value depending on the number of W’s you control in your life: what do you, when you do it, where you do it, and with whom you do it. I call this the “freedom multiplier”.
I’m not averse to making a lot of money. But where does that end? I hang out with people with hundreds of millions of dollars. Is that the standard by which I should measure myself? Where does that take you if you’re in my business? I think it takes you to pretty dark, corrupt places.
I have plenty of money to do what I want to do, and I have the relationships.
Your network is your net worth.
In the beginning of your career, you spend time to earn money. Once you hit your stride in any capacity, you should spend money to earn time, as the latter is nonrenewable.
If you find yourself saying, “But I’m making so much money” about a job or project, pay attention. “But I’m making so much money,” or “But I’m making good money” is a warning sign that you’re probably not on the right track or, at least, that you shouldn’t stay there for long. Money can always be regenerated. Time and reputation cannot.
“If only I had more money” is the easiest way to postpone the intense self-examination and decision-making necessary to create a life of enjoyment- now and not later. By using money as the scapegoat and work as our all-consuming routine, we are able to conveniently disallow ourselves the time to do otherwise.”
Money doesn’t change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.
The more we associate experience with cash value, the more we think that money is what we need to live. And the more we associate money with life, the more we convince ourselves that we’re too poor to buy our freedom.
The goal of “investing” has always been simple: to allocate resources (e.g. money, time, energy) to improve quality of life.
I am willing to accept a mild and temporary 10% decrease in current quality of life (based on morale in journaling) for a high-probability 10x return, whether the ROI comes in the form of cash, time, energy, or otherwise.
People don’t want to be millionaires — they want to experience what they believe only millions can buy. 
An investment that produces a massive financial ROI but makes me a complete nervous mess, or causes insomnia and temper tantrums for a long period of time, is NOT a good investment.
I don’t typically invest in public stocks for this reason, even when I know I’m leaving cash on the table. My stomach can’t take the ups and downs, but—like drivers rubbernecking to look at a wreck—I seem incapable of not looking. I will compulsively check Google News and Google Finance, despite knowing it’s self-sabotage.
A large guaranteed decrease in present quality of life doesn’t justify a large speculative return.
One could argue that I should work on my reactivity instead of avoiding stocks. I’d agree on tempering reactivity, but I’d disagree on fixing weaknesses as a primary investment (or life) strategy.
I get 50-100 pitches per week. This creates an inbox problem. […] I’ve had to declare email bankruptcy twice in the last six months. It’s totally untenable.
From 2008 to 2009, I began to ask myself, “What if I could only subtract to solve problems?” when advising startups. Instead of answering, “What should we do?” I tried first to hone in on answering, “What should we simplify?”
I don’t want to hire staff for vetting, so I’ve concluded I must ignore all new startup pitches and intros.
I’m tired of unwarranted last-minute “hurry up and sign” emergencies and related fire drills. It’s a culture of cortisol.
I’m in startups for the long game. In some capacity, I plan to be doing this 20+ years from now.
Most of my best investments were made during the “Dot-com Depression” of 2008-2009 (e.g. Uber, Shopify, Twitter, etc.), when only the hardcore remained standing on a battlefield littered with startup bodies.
To get rich beyond your wildest dreams in startup investing, it isn’t remotely necessary to bet on a Facebook or Airbnb every year.
