“All returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.” — Naval Ravikant, entrepreneur and investor

We all want to be wise, wealthy, and happier.

But the pursuit of wisdom, wealth, intelligence, and happiness is a lifelong journey. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to achieving these goals, as what works for one person may not work for another.

However, there are some general principles we can all apply to improve our chances of success. Your lifestyle choices can change the trajectory of your life.

Wisdom is the ability to make sound judgments, see the big picture and understand the consequences of our actions, learn from our mistakes and do more of what’s working.

To become wiser is to cultivate wisdom through the continuous pursuit of knowledge, self-reflection, and learning from life’s experiences.
