Ray Dalio Quote: “An excellent skier is probably going to be a better ski coach than a novice skier. Believability applies to management too. The better your track record, the more value you can add as a coach.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Strategic thinking requires both diagnosis and design.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Sincerely believe that you might not know the best possible path and recognize that your ability to deal well with “not knowing” is more important than whatever it is you do know.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Never rule out a goal because you think it’s unattainable. Be audacious. There is always a best possible path. Your job is to find it and have the courage to follow it. What you think is attainable is just a function of what you know at the moment. Once you start your pursuit you will learn a lot, especially if you triangulate with others; paths you never saw before will emerge.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “I had grown up in an era of high volatility and had learned that the best way to play it was to get a hold of a big move and ride it.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Never seize on the first available option, no matter how good it seems, before you’ve asked questions and explored. To prevent myself from falling into this trap, I used to literally ask myself questions: Am I learning? Have I learned enough yet that it’s time for deciding?”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Diagnose Problems to Get at Their Root Causes.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Fast talking can be especially effective when it’s used against people worried about appearing stupid. Don’t be one of those people. Recognize that it’s your responsibility to make sense of things and don’t move on until you do. If you’re feeling pressured, say something like “Sorry for being stupid, but I’m going to need to slow you down so I can make sense of what you’re saying.” Then ask your questions. All of them.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “There is no avoiding pain, especially if you’re going after ambitious goals. Believe it or not, you are lucky to feel that kind of pain if you approach it correctly, because it is a signal that you need to find solutions so you can progress.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Remember that there are typically many paths to achieving your goals. You only need to find one that works.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Make sure those who are given radical transparency recognize their responsibilities to handle it well and to weigh things intelligently. People cannot be given the privilege of receiving information and then use the information to harm the company, so rules and procedures must be in place to ensure that doesn’t happen.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Great cultures bring problems and disagreements to the surface and solve them well, and they love imagining and building great things that haven’t been built before.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “To me, meaningful work is being on a mission I become engrossed in, and meaningful relationships are those I have with people I care deeply about and who care deeply about me. Think about it: It’s senseless to have making money as your goal as money has no intrinsic value – its value comes from what it can buy, and it can’t buy everything.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Humility is as important, or even more important, as having the strengths yourself.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “While it may seem counterintuitive, clearing your head can be the best way to make progress.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “I didn’t like school, not just because it required a lot of memorization, but because I wasn’t interested in most of the things my teachers thought were important. I never understood what doing well in school would get me other than my mother’s approval.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “It is the rare bird who has the right mix of common sense, creativity, and character to shape change.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Keep in mind both the rates of change and the levels of things, and the relationships between them. When determining an acceptable rate of improvement for something, it is its level in relation to the rate of change that matters.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “I urge you to be curious enough to want to understand how the people who see things differently from you came to see them that way. You will find that interesting and invaluable, and the richer perspective you gain will help you decide what you should do.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Remember that people typically don’t change all that much.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “I’ve also learned that judging people before really seeing things through their eyes stands in the way of understanding their circumstances – and that isn’t smart. I urge you to be curious enough to want to understand how the people who see things differently from you came to see them that way. You will find that interesting and invaluable, and the richer perspective you gain will help you decide what you should do.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Closed-minded people lack a deep sense of humility.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Be an imperfectionist.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “But this approach fails in cases where the future is different from the past and you don’t know the cause-effect relationships well enough to recognize them all. Understanding these relationships as I do has saved me from making mistakes when others did, most obviously in the 2008 financial crisis. Nearly everyone else assumed that the future would be similar to the past. Focusing strictly on the logical cause-effect relationships was what allowed us to see what was really going on.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Focusing strictly on the logical cause-effect relationships was what allowed us to see what was really going on.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Evolving is life’s greatest accomplishment and its greatest reward.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “I also punched my boss in the face. Not surprisingly, I was fired.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “It is more practical to be honest about one’s uncertainties, mistakes, and weaknesses than to pretend they don’t exist. It is also more important to have good challengers than good followers.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “I learned that creative genius and insanity can be quite close to each other, that the same chemistry that creates insights can cause distortions, and that being stuck in one’s own head is terribly dangerous.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “When a problem stems from your own lack of talent or skill, most people feel shame. Get over it. I cannot emphasize this enough: Acknowledging your weaknesses is not the same as surrendering to them. It’s the first step toward overcoming them. The pains you are feeling are “growing pains” that will test your character and reward you as you push through them.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Winston Churchill hit the nail on the head when he said, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Knowing how to deal well with your setbacks is as important as knowing how to move forward.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Bad outcomes don’t just happen; they occur because specific people make, or fail to make, specific decisions.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Helping people acquire skills is easy- it’s typically a matter of providing them with appropriate training. Improvements in abilities are more difficult but essential to expanding what a person can be responsible for over time. And changing someone’s values is something you should never count on. p422.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Most people do not look thoughtfully at the facts and draw their conclusions by objectively weighing the evidence. Instead, they make their decisions based on what their deep-seated subconscious mind wants and then they filter the evidence to make it consistent with those desires.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Be an imperfectionist. Perfectionists spend too much time on little differences at the margins at the expense of the important things.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Recognize that while most people prefer compliments, accurate criticism is more valuable. You’ve heard the expression “no pain no gain.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Help people through the pain that comes with exploring their weaknesses. Emotions tend to heat up during most disagreements, especially when the subject is someone’s weaknesses. Speak in a calm, slow, and analytical manner to facilitate communication.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Inexperienced people can have great ideas too, sometimes far better ones than more experienced people.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Avoid staying too distant. You need to know your people extremely well, provide and receive regular feedback, and have quality discussions.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Don’t let fears of what others think of you stand in your way. You must be willing to do things in the unique ways you think are best – and to open-mindedly reflect on the feedback that comes inevitably as a result of being that way.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Get over “blame” and “credit” and get on with “accurate” and “inaccurate.” Worrying about “blame” and “credit” or “positive” and “negative” feedback impedes the iterative process that is essential to learning. Remember that what has already happened lies in the past and no longer matters except as a lesson for the future.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “To help you stay centered and effective, pretend that your life is a martial art or a game, the object of which is to get around a challenge and reach a goal. Once you accept its rules, you’ll get used to the discomfort that comes with the constant frustration.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “To have a real idea meritocracy, there must be transparency so that people can see things for themselves.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “I began to experience painful moments in a radically different way. Instead of feeling frustrated or overwhelmed, I saw pain as nature’s reminder that there is something important for me to learn.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “The worst thing you can be is a phony, because if you’re a phony you will lose people’s trust.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “You will either learn valuable lessons from your mistakes and press on, better equipped to succeed – or you won’t and you will fail.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “It’ll be decades – and maybe never – before the computer can replicate many of the things that the brain can do in terms of imagination, synthesis, and creativity. That’s because the brain comes genetically programmed with millions of years of abilities honed through evolution. The “science” of decision making that underlies many computer systems remains much less valuable than the “art.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “Your part in an employee’s personal evolution begins with a frank assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, followed by a plan for how their weaknesses can be mitigated either through training or by switching to a different job that taps into their strengths and preferences.”
Ray Dalio Quote: “If you don’t mind being wrong on the way to being right you’ll learn a lot –.”
