Liberal” had ceased to mean being in favor of progress and had come to mean “paying people not to work. - Ray Dalio

While I used to get angry and frustrated at people because of the choices they made, I came to realize that they weren’t intentionally acting in a way that seemed counterproductive; they were just living out things as they saw them, based on how their brains worked.

Knowing that I could be painfully wrong and curiosity about why other smart people saw things differently prompted me to look at things through the eyes of others as well as my own. This allowed me to see many more dimensions than if I saw things just through my own eyes.

Remember that people are built very differently and that different ways of seeing and thinking make people suitable for different jobs.
