ABOUT CHIZUBO

PERSONAL

"If you are rich and sophisticated, but not too rich or too sophisticated, then you are in the sweet spot for a lot of people who want to market complicated, expensive, terrible financial products to you."

"So who should you decide to be? We can turn to modern science for the answer: Be you on the best day. So when making tough choices, think about whether what you plan to do is aligned with the "you" you're most proud of. And don't worry about seeming inauthentic either. When you act like your best self, you end up showing people what you're really like"

"The purpose of models is not to fit the data but to sharpen the questions."

"If the error rate you see is low, the error rate you don't see is high."

"Point of view is worth 80 IQ points"

"If there's one thing to get excited, thats it: Get excited over your ability to make yourself do the necessary things. Get excited over the little disciplines and get right on those because those will lead to the big ones. You can't handle the big challenges in life unless you take on the little ones. Make a list of the things you can do, get right on those, discipline yourself for those; both for the result, and for the muscle, and for the practice. So that when life hands you some big challenges you'll be ready, you'll have the muscle. Don't let your learning lead to knowledge, you'll become a fool. Let your learning lead to action. Step number 3, is just a little caution, and all through life, we need a little caution. This one simply says: Don' try to beat the system. Find out how it works. Work it. Find out how it works best, and do it that way. Even though it seems to take a little longer, do it right, don't compromise on right."

"Anything that's human is mentionable and anything mentionable is manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people that we trust with that important talk can help us know that"

"When we list our strengths, we tend to list our areas of existing skill more than anything else. Instead, strengths should be all about pace and persistence qualities. Originality or lack thereof should be a critical component of the discussion, making qualities like agility and humility (trademark chef traits) notable strengths, and qualities like stubbornness or intellectual laziness (classic cook traits) important weaknesses. The subtleties of work ethic, like a knack for deep focus or a propensity to procrastinate, should also be a major part of the discussion, as should natural abilities beyond talent, like savvy and likability. Qualities related to persistence, like resilience and determination and patience, should be thought of as promising strengths, while a social tentacle clamoring to appear successful as quickly as possible should be viewed as a bright red flag."

"The limits of my language means the limits of my world."

"Having a fast connection between New York and Chicago, or a good high school resume, is nothing. Having a faster connection between New York and Chicago, or a better high school resume, is everything. It is always good to be in a business where your customers beg you to take more money to work less."
