"Reading is faster than listening, doing is faster than watching." - @naval

"Hence this website." - @flowen_nl

While listening to Naval Ravikant's tweets and podcasts about how to get rich (which really is about gathering wealth) I wrote my own summaries.

While I usually create websites for other content-creators, now I had my own content and used the opportunity to showcase my design/animation/frontend skills and share Naval's wisdom.

For other devs/designers I created a twitter log thread right here: https://twitter.com/flowen_nl/status/1166747515246563329

Would love to hear your feedback.

Reading his tweetstorm reminded me of Baz Luhrmann's "Wear sunscreen" speech and this remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZmi7InKU0I

I think almost all points he makes are true in general, most of them are extremely generic though and sound like phrases you might as well find on a wall calender.

agreed it is a bit general, but principles usually are believe.

See chapter 25 of the podcast @ https://nav.al/how-to-get-rich Naval: The tweetstorm is very abstract. It’s deliberately meant to be broadly applicable to all kinds of different domains and disciplines and time periods and places. But sometimes it’s hard to work without a concrete example. So let’s go concrete for a minute.

This is my problem with the principles... they're not actually actionable things to do, though I guess there's plenty of actionable advice out there that people choose to ignore.
