- Extraordinary fitness > running an 8:30 mile
- A single 10x investment usually accounts for far more of your portfolio gains than all other trades combined
- Drinking 7 beers (occasionally) is far more fun than drinking 2 (regularly)
- Fewer deep relationships > many shallow ones
- Skiing a double black diamond > cruising a blue groomer
- 30 mile backpacking trip > 4 mile day hike
- Trying to start a company is more fun (in a masochistic sense) than a 9-5
I derive a lot of enjoyment from the extremes. Not to get to Freudian, but I think this is partly because I haven’t had to face much natural adversity in my life, and attempting (marginally) extreme things provides manufactured adversity.
