以最少的努力得到它Work the Least for It
纳瓦尔：在现代社会，决策质量至关重要，因为我们都有杠杆。你可以通过代码、社群、媒体、资本、劳动力等途径获得杠杆。如果你足够聪明，你会让每一个决策都发挥杠杆作用。
如果沃伦·巴菲特在 85% 的时候做出正确决策，而他的竞争对手只有 70% 的正确率，那么巴菲特将赢得一切。这正是他力量的来源：善于决策。他一年只做一两个决策。大多数时候，他只是坐在那里读书、思考、读 S-1 文件、打桥牌、旅行和高尔夫。
显然，埋头苦干不是答案。好的决策和高杠杆才是答案。
平静的头脑能做出更好的决策
拥有一颗平静的头脑、做一个更快乐的人、少依赖转瞬即逝的快感、更加沉稳，这些会给你做出更好决策的心境。快乐其实会提升你的效能。只要效能的提升大于动力的下降，你就稳赚不亏。
问问自己：你是想靠最拼命的工作成为世界第一，还是靠最少的工作成为世界第一——因为你工作得最聪明？
想象你是宇宙之神。你全知全能。你只需轻轻推一下蝴蝶，就能改变宇宙中的任何事物，因为从那一刻起，粒子的每一次碰撞你都了如指掌。
全知即全能。知识就是力量。我们可以纯粹通过知识获得幸福，而这种幸福会改善我们的决策。幸福会给我们更多时间阅读，让我们更了解自己和他人的运作方式，让我们更高效，并提升我们的判断力。它还会增加我们的收入，带来实现财务自由所需的回报。
Naval: The quality of our decisions is paramount in the modern age, because we’re all leveraged. You can be leveraged through code, community, media, capital, labor and other ways. If you’re smart, you leverage every decision you make.
If Warren Buffett makes the right decision 85% of the time and his competitors get it right 70% of the time, Buffett will win everything. That’s a source of his strength: good decision making. He makes one or two decisions a year. Most of the time he’s sitting around reading books, thinking, reading S-1s, playing bridge, traveling and golfing.
Obviously, hard work is not the solution. Good decision making and high leverage is the solution.
A peaceful mind makes better decisions
Having a peaceful mind, being a happier person, relying less on momentary pleasure and being calmer will give you the frame of mind to make better decisions. Being happy will actually increase your effectiveness. As long as the increase in effectiveness is higher than the reduction in drive, you’re well off.
Ask yourself: Would you rather be the best in the world by working the hardest for it or by working the least for it, because you worked the most intelligently?
Imagine you are the universal god. You are omniscient and omnipotent. You could change anything in the universe just by pushing a butterfly in one direction, because you know exactly how the particles will collide from there on out.
Omniscience is omnipotence. Knowledge is power. We can achieve happiness purely through knowledge, and that happiness will improve our decision making. That happiness will give us more time to read; make us more knowledgeable about how we operate and other people operate; make us more effective; and improve our judgment. It should also increase our earnings and the returns we need to be financially free.
