Posts about life and mindset.

🇨🇭 Pros of living in Switzerland:

• Free coffee at the hairdresser’s  • Stunning mountain scenery  • Quality "public" transport  • Very polite people • Political and economic stability • Multiculturalism • A stone’s throw from everywhere in Europe

What else?

I’m almost embarrassed by how many hours I put into work for the results I get.

But that’s what you’ve got to do: learn, try, fail and repeat.

If I make it, it’ll be because I tried MANY times; not because I’m the smartest…

Doing things right only gives you a 40% chance of success.

In such a complex world, chance determines most of what ends up happening.

Doing things right simply skews the odds in your favor.

Instead of succeeding 1 out of 5 times, you can get it to work 2 out of 5 times.

And that’s more than enough, but it takes patience, repetition, and discipline.

It’s scary to realize that you can **really** do whatever you want with your life.

If you’re young and don’t have anyone depending on you, nothing’s stopping you from starting over from scratch anywhere in the world.

And yet, few people take that opportunity.

Everyone’s looking for advanced hacks to improve their lives.

Then you ask any AI which simple habit has the biggest impact, and the answer is always the same:

“Getting good sleep.”

Maybe we’ve been underestimating the obvious for years.

In Switzerland, I work like a beast: day, evening and night, without a break, even on weekends. I stick to a strict diet, train hard and get almost perfect sleep.

Torture? Not at all. I love the grind, but I also enjoy relaxing and spending time with my girlfriend, friends and family.

That’s why I go back to Spain once a month.

Best of both worlds

Most of what happens day to day is noise.

Almost none of it will matter in 10 years, and most of it doesn’t even matter today.

Human beings need to create to be happy.

I think the creation-to-consumption ratio should be close to 70-30.

Right now, I’m at 90-10.

How are you guys doing?

Serious question: How do psychopaths who don’t keep a spreadsheet of their expenses survive? Do they live in financial chaos, or have they reached a higher level of peace of mind?

I've been struggling with this for a long time.

On one side, a wolf whispers to me to work more, earn more, and accumulate more things.

On the other, another force invites me to let go, live with less, and find peace in simplicity.

Maybe it's a reflection of the eternal dichotomy between East and West. Does anyone else feel this way?
