I really appreciate your wisdom here and the sports analogy really helps it land for me. I also love your love approach to investing. I am wanting to revisit my decision making principles (maybe clarify or even intentionally define would be a better way of saying it) in light of what you’ve written. Love is one of my core values - how can I ground my decision making in it?

This also helps me cope with our VUCA world and the discomfort and pain of recent events. Things feel particularly unpredictable now - so the clearer I am on my decision making principles principles the more I will feel sovereign and less at the effect of events beyond my control.

Thank you.

Hello! You wrote that the world is unpredictable and that “no one can predict the future, no matter how smart or educated you think you are. Don’t try to be the smartest person in the room.” I’m thinking that you are not a fan, supporter, or participating in sports betting. Betting is making predictions and since the world is unpredictable, it’s a gamble, a gamble that will most likely not reward you.
