Today’s cheat sheet:-
In more turgid prose, but closer to the truth, was the father
of modern capitalism, Adam Smith, and he said this. This is worth
contemplating: "The great source of both the misery and disorders of human
life seems to arise from overrating the difference between one permanent
situation and another. Some of these situations may, no doubt, deserve to be
preferred to others, but none of them can deserve to be pursued with that
passionate ardor which drives us to violate the rules either of prudence or of
justice, or to corrupt the future tranquility of our minds, either by shame
from the remembrance of our own folly, or by remorse for the horror of our own
injustice." In other words: yes, some things are better than others.

We should have preferences that lead us into one future over
another. But when those preferences drive us too hard and too fast because we
have overrated the difference between these futures, we are at risk. When our
ambition is bounded, it leads us to work joyfully. When our ambition is
unbounded, it leads us to lie, to cheat, to steal, to hurt others, to sacrifice
things of real value. When our fears are bounded, we're prudent, we're
cautious, we're thoughtful. When our fears are unbounded and overblown, we're
reckless, and we're cowardly.

The lesson I want to leave you with, from these data, is that
our longings and our worries are both to some degree overblown, because we have
within us the capacity to manufacture the very commodity we are constantly
chasing when we choose experience.

Human beings are works in progress that
mistakenly think they're finished. The person you are right now is as
transient, as fleeting and as temporary as all the people you're ever been. The
one constant in our lives is change. - Daniel Gilbert.
