Mundane life’s mandate is financial endeavor. Higher form/non-mundane life is the pursuit of abstract math and physics- using the language of universe to understand universe!
I don’t have to do these two separately – they reinforce each other in a beneficial way.
In mundane arena, there are two kind of efforts: foundational framework and tactic cleverness. Most people entirely count on the latter one and are brain-washed by slogans such as “hard-working”, “compound interest”, ended up mediocre.
A clear and wise mind is the key, key to make the right choice and then the rest is to put in efforts to compound.
