Ray Dalio’s Post

Great advice. The receiving of a diploma can signal an “end of learning” until the real working world corrects that viewpoint. The ones that realize that they are lifelong learners make faster progress than the smug and over confident ones.

Thanks Ray. same i told my girls some months ago.

Love this, Ray Arrogance isn’t the problem. Being right and knowing it? That’s confidence. Being wrong and loud about it? That’s arrogance.

Agree! Being humble and mindful is the best approach, leave the ego at the door.

Well, first, people don't graduate college, they graduate FROM college.

Commencement is by definition the beginning and that holds true here.

That's actually not great advice. Few people have a passion and, even if they do, the chance of making a living at it is much less likely than doing something you are good at. Typically, even if what someone is good at is not a passion, at least it is something that the person enjoys.

It is not only when we are young. You realize while saying this you are name dropping.

THATS SO TRUE!!!!

Well perhaps not really "arrogant" but just positive and optimistic about the future and oneself - we've all been there. The more challenging part is to be true and honest with ourselves and (after many trials and errors) coming back to the true passion, and making the money work too🙂. Thanks for sharing, I'm a huge fan.
