Hi 👋 Prado here

3 Things I thought worth sharing with y’all

1. 100 QUOTES.

Quotes are nothing but a simplified and summarised version of knowledge, wisdom, story, etc.

We all come across quotes on books, blogs, speeches, movies, music, almost everywhere.

There is also an unofficial word for people who love quotes - Quodophile.

Last week, I tweeted out saying “if you are up, let’s talk”
That led to this 👇

Then I realised that I need to get all my quotes in a single place and that lead to this

THREAD: 100 quotes 🚀 On investing, writing, startups, health, creator, books, knowledge, memes & life.

But it’s sometimes impossible to read them all as Twitter is meant for distraction and not really for long-form content

So here’s what we’ll do. I’ll share my top 10 quotes and I’ll share a PDF of all the 100+ quotes in a single place. (They’ll include few Phone & Desktop Wallpapers too)

My top 10 quotes:-

Topic:- Life

Neil deGrasse Tyson once said, “On my tombstone, I want the epitaph,
“Be ashamed to die until you have scored some victory for humanity"
Topic:- Books

What an astonishing thing a book is.
A flat object made from a tree on which funny dark squiggles are imprinted. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another. Maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, they speak directly to you.
- Carl Sagan
Topic:- Creator

”Worry is wasting today’s time, Cluttering up tomorrow’s opportunities with yesterday’s trouble.” - Grant Ngobean
Topic:- Investing/Money

The first rule of compounding is to “Never interrupt it unnecessarily”
- Charlie Munger
Topic:- Startups/Business

“I wasn’t there to compete. I was there to win”
- 19-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger winning Junior Mr.Europe
Topic:- Writing

“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.”
― André Gide

(6.2) Warren Buffett’s writing advice:-
“Write with a specific person in mind. When writing Berkshire Hathaway's annual report, I pretend that I'm talking to my sisters. I have no trouble picturing them: Though highly intelligent, they are not experts in accounting or finance. They will understand plain English.”
Topic:- Health/Fitness

“You should sweat like you’re being chased by the police daily.” - Jocko Willink
Topic:- Knowledge

“The quality of your questions determines the quality of your life” - Tony Robbins
Topic:- Memes

Elon musk said this in his first CH call,
”If a picture says 1000 words, a meme says 10000 words”
Topic:- Habits/Life again

“You make your choices, and then your choices make you.” - The Compound Effect book
