Join 📚 Josh Beckman's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Josh's read, .
My early brush with a genuine bubble caused me to formulate some guiding principles that carried me through the next 50-odd years:
**It’s not what you buy, it’s what you pay that counts.**
**Good investing doesn’t come from buying good things, but from buying things well.**
**There’s no asset so good that it can’t become overpriced and thus dangerous, and there are few assets so bad that they can’t get cheap enough to be a bargain.**

Standing in front of all my stuff, it hit me that all of it used to be money, and all of that used to be time.

Motivation factors include challenging work, recognition, responsibility, and personal growth … The theory of motivation suggests you need to ask yourself a different set of questions than most of us are used to asking. Is this work meaningful to me? Is this job going to give me a chance to develop? Am I going to learn new things? Will I have an opportunity for recognition and achievement? Am I going to be given responsibility? These are the things that will truly motivate you. Once you get this right, the more measurable aspects of your job will fade in importance.
