I've been listening to Charlie Munger quite a bit recently.

Kind of, you know, going back down memory lane, listening to small lectures, small videos.

The guy was brilliant, had a ton of quotes.

And one of my favorite.

I'm paraphrasing here, but the idea is that we shouldn't dwell so much on our, we'll call them, faults or weaknesses,

but rather we should be diving fully into our strengths.

And this is one of those things that on the surface probably makes sense right away,

but the reality is we don't always do it.

We spend so much time stuck on the things we aren't good at, or that we're not drawn to,

that we forget to nurture the things that separate us and make us unique.

I like to joke around about Microsoft Excel.

Microsoft Excel used to haunt me.

I hated it.

I hated opening it.

I hated the formulas.

Like, to me, the seventh letter of hell is someone with a sweater vest on asking me to find trends in an Excel spreadsheet.

And so going from school to a job as an analyst,

obviously, you know, the circumstances didn't care

whether I liked it or not.

That was the vehicle through which we had to arrive

at a lot of important outcomes.

So the deal was figured out, you know, and I did.
