The world doesn’t belong to the pessimistic. There’s nothing wrong in thinking big and there’s nothing wrong in being confident. I learned so much from Buffett and I let be part of me some of this simple knowledge, that I can’t even recall exactly from where and when I heard him saying the things that become part of my everyday life. I wish you for Christmas that they can be also part of your life. Everyday. They must be like muscle memory. Like being honest and ethical. You can’t decide it is something you turn on and off. You have to BE that way to be happy.
You have to think that it is possible to achieve what you want in life. And you have to have a plan for that. As detailed and precise as possible. Make sure you know what to do but make sure also you know you can do it. An idiot with a plan can defeat for sure a genius without a plan. Because if you fail to plan, plan to fail. It’s not a matter of IQ, its a matter of being cold and rational calculators. It’s more discipline and sweat than genius. It’s about thoughen up and dont let the others bring you down. Don’t give up and stay focused on your goal. Be inspired by people who did good, much better than you. Learn relentlessly from the best. Try to be like them, to have the qualities they have and that you like the most. Blike the one you want to be. Try. You can. And even if you’re born in the wrong place for you, it doesn’t matter: move. Go where the adventure is. Don’t you ever whine or be a victim. Fight!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all, Marco Turco
