Poor Charlie’s Almanack

"The secret to happiness is to lower your expectations, that is what you compare your experience with. If your expectations and standards are very high and only allow yourself to be happy when things are exquisite, you'll never be happy and grateful. There will always be some flaw. But compare your experience with lower expectations, especially something not as good, and you'll find much in your experience of the world to love, cherish and enjoy, every single moment." - Charlie Munger

The friend traveling with me was one of a group of weight lifters with whom I’d begun exercising a year earlier. It started one evening when, as I walked by the basement furnace room behind the co-op, I heard the sound of iron clanking. Curious, I ventured inside and found three muscular residents hoisting barbells. When I suggested that this seemed like a lot of work for who knew how much gain, they bet me a milkshake that if I worked out with them for one hour, three times a week, for a year, it would double my strength. Though I wasn’t the ninety-eight-pound weakling of the famous advertisements by Charles Atlas, I accepted their challenge. When the year ended, just before my drive to New York, I had more than doubled what I could lift and gladly paid off the bet. This was the beginning of a lifelong interest in fitness and health.
