When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.
Building specific knowledge will feel like play to you but will look like work to others.
Specific knowledge is found by pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion rather than whatever is hot right now.
Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for. If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.
Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.
Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet.
Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.
You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.
You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.
Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.
Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth.

But if you try to avoid cities and touristics places and go in the wild, you see no foreigners. It is still a beautiful country if you try not to bother about tourists^^
There were almost no tourists. Not even in Vientiane. There were almost no cars. And almost no one spoke English. What's there like now?
