Cornerstone vs Capstone Marriage

Some people never say sorry. According to Esther Perel, this is because they have a strong sense of shame. But admitting one's mistakes and imperfections should not be a reflection of self-worth. In fact, being able to acknowledge and apologize for mistakes shows strength and vulnerability. By separating our sense of self from a perfect image, we can overcome the shame that holds us back from apologizing.

The Power of Apologies and Overcoming Shame

"Self esteem is your ability to see yourself as a flawed individual and still hold yourself in high regard"

Traditional sexuality was all about procreation. Modern sexuality is now often identified with performance: how many times, how many partners, and what types of sex. Sex has become something you do rather than something you experience.Esther Perel proposes a new mindset. Sex as an experience. "Sex is a place you go." So where do you want to go?<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Seek deep spiritual union?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Experience deep connection?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Transcend daily life?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Surrender and be vulnerable?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Be naughty or kinky?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Abdicate responsibility?</li></ul>Sex is never just sex. Sexuality is a code for our deepest emotional needs: our wounds, fears & aspirations.

Sex: A Place You Go, Not What You Do

Sexuality is a not a reflection of a relationship. It should not be assumed a loving relationship naturally leads to hot action in the bedroom. To Perel, sexuality and love run a parallel track. Eroticism has more to do with the joy of living & with feeling alive. It is a very personal expression of one's individuality, unburden by any external connection to another person.And while love does not imply eroticism, the opposite is more common. Changing the sexual dynamic in a couple will improve the relationship as well.

Esther Perel: How to Find, Build & Maintain Healthy Romantic Relationships

Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.

Gamblers vs Investors

Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrentlydelivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creativedestruction.”

The two sides of capitalism

episodically–it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices.It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient”markets exist only in textbook.In truth marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.Controlled businesses are different breed.They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations.Unless under duress,the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation

Volatily is an opportunity

The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.

The lesson for investors

The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.

Buybacks

When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive)

Charlie and I plead ignorance and firmly believe that near-term economic and market forecasts are worse than useless

Message to market forcasters

Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, almost exactly a tenth of 1% of all money that the Treasury collected. And that means – brace yourself – had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the U.S. matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime.

Show off warren

Millions, billions, trillions – we all know the words, but the sums involved are almost impossible to comprehend.Let’s put physical dimensions to the numbers:• If you convert $1 million into newly-printed $100 bills, you will have a stack that reaches your chest• Perform the same exercise with $1 billion – this is getting exciting!–and the stack reaches about 3⁄4 of a mile into the sky• Finally, imagine piling up $32 billion,the total of Berkshire’s 2012-21 federal income tax payments.Now the stack grows to more than 21 miles in height,about three times the level at which commercial planes fly

Charlie and I think pretty much alike. But what it takes me a page to explain, he sums up in a sentence. His version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned and also more artfully – some might add bluntly – stated.

Nothing beats having a Great partner

• The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor.• If you don’t see the world the way it is, it’s like judging something through a distorted lens.• All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there. And a related thought: Early on, write your desired obituary – and then behave accordingly.• If you don’t care whether you are rational or not, you won’t work on it. Then you will stay irrational and get lousy results.

Few of charlie's thoughts

• Patience can be learned. Having a long attention span and the ability to concentrate on one thing for a long time is a huge advantage.• You can learn a lot from dead people. Read of the deceased you admire and detest.• Don’t bail away in a sinking boat if you can swim to one that is seaworthy.• A great company keeps working after you are not; a mediocre company won’t do that.• Warren and I don’t focus on the froth of the market. We seek out good long-term investments and stubbornly hold them for a long time.

• Ben Graham said, “Day to day, the stock market is a voting machine; in the long term it’sa weighing machine.” If you keep making something more valuable, then some wise person is going to notice it and start buying.• There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing when investing. Thus, the use of leverage is dangerous. A string of wonderful numbers times zero will always equal zero. Don’t count on getting rich twice.• You don’t, however, need to own a lot of things in order to get rich.• You have to keep learning if you want to become a great investor. When the world changes, you must change.

• Warren and I hated railroad stocks for decades, but the world changed and finally the country had four huge railroads of vital importance to the American economy. We were slow to recognize the change, but better late than never.• Finally, I will add two short sentences by Charlie that have been his decision-clinchers for decades: “Warren, think more about it. You’re smart and I’m right.” And so it goes. I never have a phone call with Charlie without learning something. And, while he makes me think, he also makes me laugh.

Annual letter 2022 by Warren Buffet (Key points to remember)

"The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer."

Life is a journey of self-discovery, where we learn, evolve, and strive to become the best version of ourselves through experiences and challenges.

Personal Growth 😊

Building meaningful relationships fosters love, support, and community. Our interactions enrich our lives, providing joy and a sense of belonging in a shared existence.

Connection with Others

Making a positive impact through service, creativity, or leadership enhances the collective human experience, leaving a legacy that benefits future generations and uplifts others.

Contributing to Society

Seeking wisdom and understanding broadens perspectives, ignites curiosity, and encourages critical thinking, ultimately helping us navigate life's complexities and make informed decisions.

Pursuit of Knowledge

Cultivating joy and contentment through gratitude, mindfulness, and pursuing passions leads to a fulfilling life, emphasizing the importance of enjoying each moment along the way.

Finding Happiness

Happiness is not trying and finding , it is deciding ☺️😊☺️😸

"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."

"Life is never a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well."

"We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us."

Find Your Inner Compass🧭

Life's purpose may not be a fixed destination, but rather finding meaning in the experiences, challenges, and growth along the way...

Purpose Of Life

We all know that speaking, especially without preparation, can make us nervous. We need to develop a personal plan to help manage our anxiety and calm our nerves.

Step 1

We should think about how we communicate and how we view ourselves and others. We can see these moments as chances to connect and work together.

Step 2

We need to allow ourselves to try new ways of thinking, take chances, and see mistakes as just practice runs.

Step 3

We should really listen to what others are saying (and even what they might not say) while also paying attention to our own thoughts and feelings.

Step

We should use a clear structure to make our ideas easier to understand, clearer, and more interesting than they would be without it.

Step 5

We need to make sure our audience really understands what we're saying. This means being clear, relevant, easy to understand, and getting straight to the point.

Step 6

Think Faster, Talk Smarter By Matt Abhrahams

Most of our communication happens on the spot, like answering questions or casual chats, but we often lack training for it. By using the "Think Faster, Talk Smarter" method, we can all feel more comfortable and confident during these spontaneous conversations.

“Don’t do things just because you think you are going to get something from it” and follows “do things YOU think are interesting

“Don’t focus on the achievements, focus on the journey” he said this when he got asked why he doesn’t hang up his records and Grammys.

To be around people who don’t make you a better and more creative person is going to affect you bad. You should always be around people who like your work and puches you to do more. Otherwise you’ll be like them.

Removing Bad People In Life

“Trust in yourself, do what you like and don’t do what you think people will like”

MEDITATION IS KEY

In this episode of the Bedros Keuilian Show, I share the 11 non-negotiable rules I live by.

My 11 Non-Negotiable Rules to Win in Life | The Bedros Keuilian Show E077

Love the life you have while you create the life of your dreams. Don't think you have to wait for the latter to start doing the former.

Where you are is a result of who you were, but where you go depends entirely on who you choose to be.

Give up the need to be perfect for the opportunity to be authentic. Be who you are. Love who you are. Others will too.

Replace your judgements with empathy, upgrade your complaining to gratitude, and trade in your fear for love.

Be grateful for all that you have, accept all that you don't, and actively create all that you want.

Life isn't about wishing you were somewhere or someone that you're not. Life is about enjoying where you are, loving who you are, and consistently improving both.

They say misery loves company, but so does mediocrity. Don't let the limiting beliefs of OTHERS limit what's possible for YOU.

Don't worry about trying to impress people. Just focus on how you can add value to their lives.

The moment you accept responsibility for EVERYTHING in your life is the moment you tap into your power to change ANYTHING in your life.

Every single one of us already has everything we need to be the happiest we could ever be; it's simply up to us to remember that in every moment.

There is nothing to fear, because you cannot fail. Only LEARN, GROW, and become BETTER than you've ever been before.

Know that wherever you are in your life right now is both temporary and exactly where you're supposed to be. You have arrived at this moment to learn what you must learn so that you can become the person you need to be to create everything you've ever wanted for your life

Even when life is difficult or challenging-especially when life is difficult and challenging-the present is always an opportunity for us to learn, grow, and become better than we've ever been before.

Who you're becoming is far more important than what you're doing. And yet, it is what you're doing that is determining who you're becoming.

Your entire life changes the day that you decide you will no longer accept mediocrity for yourself. When you decide that today is the most important day of your life, and that now matters more than any other time because it's who you're becoming each day based on the choices you're making and the actions you're taking, that is determining who you are going to be for the rest of your life.

The average person lets their emotions dictate their actions, while achievers let their commitments dictate their actions.

Make bold moves toward your dreams each day, refuse to stop, and nothing can stop you.
