Morgan Housel said that.

He is a partner at The Collaborative Fund, an expert on behavioural Vnance

and history and former Vnance columnist at The Motley Fool and The Wall
Street Journal.

He argues that, to master personal Vnance, remember to apply this simple

personal Vnance rule that is captured in almost every personal Vnance
book:

Work a lot, spend a little, invest the di3erence.

A productive day starts right from the minute you wake up. Everything you
choose to do either bring out the best in you or worst in you.

Modern life can make it incredibly dikcult for you to be your best self but
you have more control than you think. You can boost your productivity,
reclaim your focus, and make real progress every day.

To get high-value work done, you have to consciously manage your

attention, plan your day on purpose and invest your time like money.

Habits run our lives — for better or worse.

Who you are and what you can accomplish largely depends on routines and
daily behaviours. You are either getting better and becoming the best
version of yourself or getting worst every day.

Habits are the brain’s internal drivers. A lot of your daily actions are
automatic. If you want to change how you work or a bad habit, you should
have a clear exit strategy to break out of the chain.

Conversation is an important human experience.

“Small talk” may be trivial for many people, but it’s one of the most crucial
human interactions — it’s integral to your intrapersonal and interpersonal
goals.

Small talk is a social skill that helps people to make conversation and get to
know each other. It’s a casual conversation that has no real objective but it’s
still quite a challenge for many people.

For millions of people, small talk is a Vght-or-light experience — it makes

them uncomfortable and vulnerable, so they try as much as possible to
avoid it if they can.

If you are an introvert and dread small talks, you are not alone. Even

In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest mathematicians and

natural philosophy and his system of the world. His Vrst law of motion can
be a helpful model to make progress in your life and career.
