“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.”
Read: Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind
Never become so much of an expert that you stop learning.
Just because the past didn’t turn out like you wanted doesn’t mean the future can’t be better than you ever imagined.
Start each day fresh, like it is the first day. Don’t become complacent. No resting on laurels. Past performance is not an indicator of future results. We must remember the importance of maintaining a beginner’s mind.
Stay open to starting over. Try again with more strength, knowledge and power.
A new pattern of thoughts, wave of emotions, connection with the world and belief in yourself.

Ray Dalio’s Principles: Life & Work
In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success.
