The real metric of success isnt the size of your bank account. Its the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference. – Naveen Jain
Trust your gut instinct over spreadsheets. There are too many variables in the real world that you simply cant put into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets spit out results from your inexact assumptions and give you a false sense of security. In most cases, your heart and gut are still your best guide. – Naveen Jain
