不要犯蠢:Reduce standard stupidities. Avoid idiotic behavior.

“All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there.” — Charlie Munger

“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”— Charlie Munger 1 2

“I just try to avoid being stupid. I have a way of handling a lot of problems—I put them in what I call my ‘too hard pile,’ and just leave them there. I’m not trying to succeed in my too hard pile.” — Charlie Munger 3

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, “Would an idiot do that?” And if they would, I do not do that thing.” — Dwight Shrute

  • If you can’t do something smart, just don’t do something dumb.
  • Avoiding stupidity is easier than seeking brilliance.
  • It’s very difficult to be smart, but it’s surprisingly easy to be “non-idiotic”.

不要想著贏、要想不能輸。 — 電影《KANO》

不輸才是贏,少輸也是贏。


Invert, always invert
