Look up at the stars and chase your dreams!

The Narwhal Codex
Pointing out the obvious bias in someone else's viewpoint means that either the object of your attack is not smart, or you yourself are not smart.
Counting the number of reads is to satisfy vanity.
The broader your knowledge, the more independent your thoughts will be, and the more books you will find that you cannot finish. Do not deliberately pursue the number of books you can finish, but always pay attention to new concepts that can predict future trends.

The Narwhal Codex
Read the genres you like until you love reading.
Don't compare who reads faster. The better the book, the more you should read slowly and absorb it gradually.
The subject matter and content of reading are not important. In the end, you will follow your interests and engage in a lot of reading. Your life will also be greatly improved as a result.

The Navar Book
What is the most effective way to establish a new mental model?
Read extensively, the more the better.
A genuine love for reading, combined with guidance and cultivation, will make your abilities limitless.

Rise to the challenge
A simple life lesson: if there is disagreement on a difficult decision, you should choose the path that is more painful in the short term.
The premise is that the two choices have comparable pros and cons, but if one path brings short-term pain, it will also bring long-term gain.
According to the compound interest effect, long-term returns are what you want.

The Navel Codex
If it's hard to decide, then the answer is negative.
The reason is that modern society is full of choices, with thousands of options available. We live on a planet with a population of 7 billion, and we are connected to everyone on the Internet, with thousands of professions to choose from in the world. In this vast world, among countless beings, choices are never lacking.
Sometimes we find it difficult to make choices, and we even need to make a list to compare and weigh the pros and cons of different options.
Choose to give up, if it's hard to decide, the answer is no.

The Narwhal Codex
What suggestions do you have regarding cultivating an honest attitude and a straightforward way of expressing it to make it instinctive?
Tell everyone your true thoughts.
Start doing this now. The way of expression doesn't have to be very straightforward. When a person simultaneously demonstrates a high level of confidence and the power of care, he will exude charisma.
Be honest with others and stay positive; this is something we can almost always do.

Naval Codex
Learning decision-making skills
Traditional virtues have significant enlightening significance for our decision-making: we should choose the practices that will benefit us the most in the long term, rather than focusing only on immediate gains and losses.
Almost all biases exist to help people make quick judgments in situations of incomplete information. For important decisions, one should set aside memory and identity, focusing on the essence of the problem.

Naval Codex
Break free from self-imposed constraints and recognize the truth of the world.
Buddha said: "To have desires is to suffer, to be without desires is to be happy."
I try to avoid preset distractions. I believe that any behavior that divides camps and labels people will create constraints, making it difficult to see the truth.
To be honest, one must set aside their identity when expressing opinions.

Naval Codex
Feelings and facts are two different things. Feelings are merely a partial estimation of oneself regarding the facts.
Very intelligent people are often unconventional. They insist on independent thinking, hands-on involvement, and clarifying the ins and outs of things.
Contrarian investors do not always oppose everything; in fact, opposing everything is another form of sticking to the rules. Contrarian investors think independently based on actual situations and can withstand the pressure of blindly following the crowd.

The Nawal Codex
How to think clearly?
Compared to being smart, "having a clear mindset" is a better compliment.
True knowledge has an inherent interconnectedness, like a chain, linking the foundational level to the applied level.
The latest concepts in a field are often not fully validated.
Using these concepts makes us seem very knowledgeable. It's important to be familiar with insider knowledge, but it's even more crucial to have a solid grasp of the fundamentals.

The Narwhal Codex
In the era of leverage, a right choice can help you win everything.
Without effort, one cannot cultivate judgment and will not gain any leverage.
Investing time is necessary, but judgment is more important.
In the process of moving forward, direction is more important than speed, especially after leveraging. Choosing the right direction at every crossroads is far more important than the effort put into moving forward.
Life is about choosing the right direction and then working hard towards it.

The Narwhal Codex
Enhance judgment
Truly smart people never take shortcuts.
In a person's life, if you want to earn as much money as possible and become wealthy in a predictable way, you must always be at the forefront of the times, learning technology, learning design, learning art, and becoming a leader in the industry.

The Narwhal Codex
Money can give you the time and energy to pursue inner peace and happiness.
Let everyone become wealthy.
Let everyone be healthy.
Let everyone be happy.

The Narwhal Codex
Be patient
Be diligent and tireless in what you love, constantly improving, accumulating over time. Do not count the time and energy you invest, because once you start counting, you will lose patience.
Practical experience is the only way to gain true knowledge and skills.

The Narwhal Codex
How important is social interaction?
Be a creator, and create interesting things that people want.
Show your skills, practice your skills, and eventually the right person will find you.

The Naval Codex
In a long-term game, it seems that everyone is making each other rich.
In a short-term game, it seems that everyone is making themselves rich.

Ways to gain good luck
I hope good luck comes unexpectedly.
Constantly struggling until hitting a stroke of luck.
Be mentally prepared and remain sensitive to the opportunities missed by others.
Do what you do to the extreme. Strive for excellence until it becomes a reality. Let opportunities find you automatically, and make luck inevitable.

The Narwhal Codex

The third way to gain good luck is to be good at discovering good luck.

The Narwhal Codex
How much money would make you feel secure?
Money is not the root of all evil.
Money itself is not guilty; what is truly harmful is the greed for money.
From a moral perspective, pursuing money is not a bad thing; it is unrelated to competition with others. However, greed is harmful to people.
