Join 📚 Rasul's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Rasul's read, .
When you came home from school with two As, a B+, and three Bs, you were doing just fine. Imagine the poor kid who had an A+ and four Cs. Boy, was he in trouble. Fast-forward a few decades from those school days, and think about the decisions you make today—about which doctor to pick, which restaurant to visit, or which accountant to hire. How often do you look for someone who is actually quite good at the things you don’t need her to do? How often do you hope that your accountant is a safe driver and a decent golfer? In a free market, we reward the exceptional.
One key here is to understand that usually when you strug-
gle, it’s not your fault. Far too many people waste weeks
if not months trying to understand explanations that were
simply not written to be understood. After some time they
then conclude, "well, things are complicated", memorize a
few key facts and move on. This is how fragile knowledge is
born.

Sometimes a habit will be hard to remember and you’ll need to make it obvious. Other times you won’t feel like starting and you’ll need to make it attractive. In many cases, you may find that a habit will be too difficult and you’ll need to make it easy. And sometimes, you won’t feel like sticking with it and you’ll need to make it satisfying.
