Little things #23 It’s just a skillset
I tried to make a sponge cake using an air fryer. I was excited to see how it would turn out. Sadly, it was fail. The cake didn’t rise at all. It felt exactly like when I tried frying cakes and ran out of oil at the very last minute! Literally, frying without oil!
I have a colleague who often makes all kinds of cakes and is really confident about it. I asked her to teach me one day, and she agreed. I'm looking forward to learning from her and, hopefully, becoming a master at baking cakes :)
I am currently reading The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness. I first came across it while preparing for job interviews. While learning how to answer interview questions, I watched a video that mentioned this book. The video talked about different types of luck and how to get lucky, which sparked my interest.
I also like the idea of reading books recommended by people who work in fields like economics and communication, since they might help me gain another perspective.
So far, I’ve found many useful and brilliant ideas in the book. One part that impressed me was how confidently Naval talks about making money. He said that if he lost all his wealth but was in any English-speaking country, he would become wealthy again within 5 or 10 years. That was a thought-provoking statement.
We can all be confident about things we are good at but how many of us can be confident about becoming rich? and becoming rich again? Maybe he’s right: making money is a skill, and like any skill, it can be developed. Treating wealth-building as a skill, one we can be just as confident in as other skills we already possess. Build it!
If you’re curious, I recommend reading the book yourself for more details.
