Key takeaways — Atomic Habits
- ✓ Magpokus sa Sistema kaysa sa mga Layunin, na nauunawaan na ang resulta ng iyong organisasyon ay isang lagging na sukatan ng inyong kolektibong araw-araw na nakagawian at proseso.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Disenyo ng Kapaligiran upang gawing pinakamadaling landas ang produktibong estratehikong gawain, na nagbibigay-daan sa mas mababang kognitibong pasanin sa iyong koponan.
- ✓ Ipatupad ang 1% Rule ng tuloy-tuloy na pag-unlad, na naghahanap ng maliliit na pagbuti sa bawat departamento upang makabuo ng isang pinal na epekto na mas mahusay kaysa sa malaki at mapanganib na inobasyon.
Key takeaways — The Intelligent Investor
- ✓ Isabuhay ang prinsipyo ng Margin of Safety sa bawat pamumuhunan, na nangangahulugang bibili ka ng mga ari-arian na may malaking discount sa kanilang tunay na halaga upang maprotektahan laban sa posibleng pagkalugi.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Mr. Market sa iyong pabor sa pamamagitan ng pagbili kapag siya ay makulit na pessimistic at pagbebenta kapag siya ay sobra-sobrang optimistic, sa halip na sundin ang emosyon niya.
- ✓ Isabagay ang pananaw ng isang Defensive Investor, na nakatuon sa sistematikong pagpili ng mataas na kalidad na mga negosyo na undervalued at pagpapanatili ng isang balanseng, diversified na portfolio.
