“Always stay intellectually curious” - Naveen Jain

(click to tweet)

The saying goes, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink,” to demonstrate that if someone doesn’t want or is unwilling to do something for themselves that would be good for them, there is little you can do. But if you focus your efforts instead on how you make the horse thirsty, you’ve solved the problem.

This thirst is what Naveen Jain says anyone who wants to be successful needs to cultivate. It is intellectual curiosity, and a desire to constantly learn, and it is what separates the greats, those who are super successful, from the rest.

If you want to be successful, you need to cultivate inside yourself this desire to learn. Find out how billionaire Naveen Jain learns every day, on this episode of The Tai Lopez Show!

Points to Keep In Mind

Always stay intellectually curious
Learn based on the future more than the present
As an entrepreneur, your jobs is not to focus on where the world is now, but where you want it to be
Instead of leading someone to water or making them drink, consider instead what would happen if you just made them thirsty
Intellectual curiosity is that thirst
Every time you read something, it’s like connecting a dot, and sometimes you don’t see the picture until the last dot
Think of the life of an entrepreneur as a heartbeat: When it’s smooth, you’re dead
The only time you fail in life is when you give up

#579 - Is Evolutionary Psychology Wrong About Beauty? With Richard Prum

“Beauty can function somewhat like an irrationally exuberant market bubble” - Richard Prum

(click to tweet)

The evolutionary view of beauty has traditionally been that humans evolved a sense of what was beautiful based on practically. We’re often taught that things like the waist to hip ratio are a long-ingrained sign of fertility to men, which is why we find them attractive.

My guest today, Richard Prum, has a different view. He says that beauty can be viewed more as an “irrationally exuberant financial market bubble.” In other words, it’s not so cut and dry, and natural selection has led each of us, within our own cultures, to develop a sense of what we consider attractive, not dependent on the practicality of evolutionary considerations.

“Beauty is a social contrivance. It’s invented by us” - Richard Prum

Points to Keep In Mind

Certain aspects of science seem to be completely unexplainable
Beauty can function somewhat like an irrationally exuberant market bubble
Beauty is a social contrivance. It’s invented by us
Humans are evolved to be satisfied, and to find satisfying relationships
The evolutionary idea of beauty being practical neglects some of the concepts of natural selection in the human animal
In society, it could be argued that it is actually women who are defining the idea of beauty more than men
The idea of machismo and dominance as the core of attraction is deeply flawed and a cause of unhappiness
Get in touch with the idea of what it means to be really caring for your partner
Human diversity is a result of the diversity of mate-choice, therefore standards of beauty can be far different across cultures
The men who are most attractive tend to be socially attentive

“It’s better to be rich than to be right” - Tai Lopez

(click to tweet)

Points to Keep In Mind

Scan at least 3 words at a time, to read faster with better comprehension
Use a pacer when reading, and set the pace for your eyes to follow
You will make more money if you know more languages
If you have children, one of the best gifts you can give them is an education in different languages while they’re young
Total immersion, without all of the rules, etc, is the best way to learn a language
To learn something, it has to feel important
See life as an adventure, rather than an accomplishment
Your goal is not always to be right, your goal is to figure out what is right no matter what it is
It’s exhausting to work on something that you’re not passionate about
A business partner is like a marriage, so you need to very carefully vet anyone you are considering bringing on as a partner
It’s better to be rich than to be right
Approach life with the idea that you can learn to do anything
Mentors are essential. Learn from them instead of trying to reinvent the wheel
Working hard is only 25% of the formula
Tools are essential to the process of making money online
Teaching people how to do things, and how to make money doing those things, is one of the easiest and fastest ways to start making money online
A lot of people take for granted what they do for their job, when there are actually more ways to make money with it than you may be thinking of
If there are no competitors for your business, it might be because there is no demand for it
A lot of times, it’s a good idea to choose a market where there are competitors, but you know what differentiates you
