Own your life and take responsibility to make it great. When life doesn't give you what you want, don't be angry—learn how reality works and develop principles to get you where you want to be. Be radically open-minded, and recognize that if you want to be really successful, you... have to work really hard. Continue the graduation conversation with my AI Twin, Digital Ray in Beta:show more

You are doom calling all the time to sell your books. Not very inspired by that…

Radical ownership and radical open-mindedness are rare individually, but together they're almost the unfair advantage 💯

Flip a coin and have it land on heads 10 times in a row.

Spot on, Ray. Reality is an unforgiving backtest, it doesn't care about our feelings or expectations; it only responds to mechanics and incentives. Developing principles is like building a robust trading system for life. You don't fight the market when a trade goes against you; you study the price action, adapt your strategy, and manage the risk.

Bro really just gained world changing power and refuses to use it. Hilarious. What an abomination.

Accountability over anger. Principles over luck. 🎯 ​This is the exact blueprint for shifting from a victim mindset to a creator mindset. 🔄💎 ​Incredibly well said. 💯 Grateful for this powerful reminder today! 🧠🔥

Ray you are such an inspiration 🙌🏽

Of course your AI won’t mention Israel and their impacts on global and national markets. It’s a perfect reflection of your depth of mind and soul. Hell we don’t even need you anymore apparently. Go be a regular granddad when you could improve the world. Vapid vampire.

Do what you can control. ​Let go of what you can’t. ​Then take the next step.

No disrespect, but also be careful to choose the generation you're born into, the nation, and the parents carefully. (As the kids who were present for this address did, for instance.)

No doubt. Because vampires like Ray sure as hell aren’t going to make it any more likely to be great. Unless you want to get rich off a broken system. Then he’s your guy.

the expensive way to learn this is to ship something and watch it fail. robotics co-ops, trading bots, it's all the same: principles come from the scar tissue, not the book.

Great quote! See more Ray Dalio quotes like it at

Ownership + open-mindedness + hard work on the right principles beats entitlement every time. Reality rewards those who adapt and execute.

Excellent advice. Unfortunately facing reality doesn't trend well with this social media generation. Nobody wants to hear that consuming media all day, spending $30 dollars with DoorDash for a Big Mac for lunch, $8 dollar fancy coffees everyday, while working for an average salary, won't get them anywhere but to poverty. They want to be lied to because the truth hurts. It goes against all they were talk in school and in media. Someone else's fault and your entitled. Tell me lies sweet little lies is their motto.

one of the greatest mentors we encounter

really, really, hard.... on the right things. And choosing the right things--decades in advance-- often requires a spot of luck.

现实很残酷，但有用。

Big ask @RayDalio ~ can you figure out how to go back in time and give that commencement address to my graduation? Unfortunately the students listening will mostly not grasp the importance.

Amen

Own your life

It is not about your digital twin sir. We are moving too quickly. Am far more concerned of the Man Ray Dalio… making certain that you are alive and well and not mistaken for a digital representation is not isolated to you brother. It is a potential grrrrr Kids are kids

Always set principles, what a wonderful take home 🏡❣️

Figuring out how reality functions beats complaining, solid personal rules lay the groundwork for lasting success.

yeah, heard this before. more interested in what the order book is telling me. gotta chase that edge.

As Buffett said, the biggest investment you can make is in yourself: learning and training.

Such a great speech from one of the best!

Life changed when I stopped asking “why is this happening to me?” and started asking “what can I learn from this?” Responsibility is uncomfortable, but it gives you control back.
