There's simply no price it can pay for each one of the lessons you're sharing, Ray. I had the pleasure to see you in person in San Francisco, during Dreamforce, and even covering the same topics, it seems that every time we listen to you or watch this video, something else new will pop-up in my head. As someone who moved to another country to live a better life, who's trying hard to cope with the challenges of building a family, advancing professionally, build my own business, I feel that I need to watch this video every single week. You have my word that I'll share it as much as I can to as many people as I can. Thank you so much for sharing this content.

Every family has a person, who breaks the chain of poverty. I hope that you will be that person🤲.

Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

Simply do this; disregard the market opinions and projections. I'd suggest buying shares of reputable firms and holding them for long that's exactly why investing in stock now will be the best and favourable decision

No BS courses, no links to click, no paid mentorship nonsense, no 10x nonsense....pure and simple and he wants to share his knowledge. Thank you Ray Dalio. You are doing a great service to people around the globe.

Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

If you don't find a means of multiplying money, you will wake up one day to realise that the money you thought you had, has exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.

“I feared boredom and mediocrity more than I feared failure”

It’s been great seeing your comments and discussing the video with you. I hope you’ll share it with others you think might enjoy or benefit from it.

As an elder millennial, one of the few advantages is having lived through the Great Recession. My advice. Reduce unnecessary expenses, increase your savings by investing in financial markets and do not sell. One thing I know for sure is that diversifying your income can help insulate you from much of the craziness going on in the world.

I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.

I remember seeing in the news recently that people payed 500,000$ to have lunch with Warren Buffet but you make videos like this for free for everyone nice job Ray

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

My wife and I did very well in the amount of money that we amassed for retirement. Well over 80% of that money averaging about $2 million was made because of taking advantage of buying high-end stocks at a deep discount during the Great Recession. 2009 I fired the stockbroker got rid of all mutual funds and bought individual dividend stocks. Be patient don't get scared and do your homework and you can make a killing.

The animation team deserves an Oscar

Someone please forward this to everyone on Earth.

Thank you for the amazing video Ray. I was at a very dark place in 2017. Fallen very badly. This video brought light back to my life! Thank you Ray!

When you stop learning , you get left behind . Never stop educating yourself

This is just gold.. This is something that should be presented in schools

" But invest you must ".....In the short run the stock market can be a casino but over long term investments, it is a cash flow machine

At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage. Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.

Thank God for the internet,for UKposts and for the era I was born in. I consider myself very lucky to have stumbled upon this video.

Valid and solid points. I used to feel overwhelmed when my portfolio would drop a few dollars. Now that I've learned how the booth works, I see bear markets as a giant opportunity to build generational wealth for me and my family. In just 5 monthsof trading ETF/ my portfolio have accrued gains of over $350K under esteemed guidance. Happiest days still yet to come lol

Funny thing is, my phone must have been listening in on all of my conversations because I just came across this video during the same time I met Jessica Marie Gibbs.

No matter how big the failures are, never give up!

I have listened to this more than 10 times and every time I listen to this I learn something new. It's priceless video! 🙏🏻 Thanks Ray.

I've literally watched this 10 times over the past month to put all these things into my subconscious mind. I've seen very few videos in my life which have given me the clarity this one has.

This video is a gem. I keep coming back to it every few months to align myself when I lose track of things. Thank you for making this.

I am just truly greatful for technology today and UKposts that i can listen to people like Ray just sitting on my bed who just poured his life experience for us to learn from his mistakes..which would otherwise been an hard journey to get hold of a magnificent person like him and convince him to teach us all these profound principles. Thankyou so much Ray. ❤️

I've been searching for a good broker to trade with!!! Please 🙏 sir how can i find one??

I’m literally in tears. As a 26 y/o entrepreneur, this was extremely impactful. Thank you!

I watched two videos of you, Ray. The first one was how the economic machine works, and this is the second one. I was truly amazed by how knowledgeable you are. The way you lay down your ideas is great. You know what you are talking about and that is what makes you different than others. I look forward to meeting you in real life. You are a guy who the time with is invaluable. Thanks for your time and effort.

When it comes to investing, diversification is key, that’s why I engage in sectors based on projected growth. There’s no shortcut to getting rich, but they are smart ways to go about it

The animation, the voice, the knowledge, the combination. No words for it. Perfect...

"I stopped finding joy from being right but rather, finding joy from finding what is true". His take on opinion and self-reflection is the same as how I've always believed in but failed to surmise into a sentence. Wow.

My summary of this brilliant video here: 1. You need to think for yourself about what is true. Decide what to do Have the courage to do it 2. Truth is the essential foundation for producing good outcomes. Dreams + reality + determination = succesful life. - Know your goals - Encounter the problems that stand in the way of getting to your goals - Diagnose these problems to get at their root causes - Design a plan to eliminate the problems - Do it Adapt or die It is crucial to be willing to face the failure objectively. It will happen to you. You will lose something you think you can't live without, or you will suffer a terrible illness or injury, or your career will fall apart before your eyes. You might think that your life is ruined and that there is no way to go forward. But it will pass. I assure you that there is always a best path forward, and you probably just don't see it yet. You just have to reflect well to find it. You have to embrace your reality. The two biggest barriers everyone faces: 1) Our ego - the part of your brain that prevents you from acknowledging your weaknesses objectively so you can figure out how to deal with that. Because our need to be right can be more important than to find out what is true, we like to believe our own opinions without properly stress testing them. We especially don't like to look at our mistakes and weaknesses. We are instinctively prone to act on explorations of them as though they were attacks. We get angry even though it would be more logical to be open to feedback from others. This leads us to making inferior decisions, learning less, and falling short of our potentials. 2) Blind spot barriers - everyone has blind spots. The blind spot barrier is when a person believes that he or she can see everything. But it is a simple fact that noone alone can see a complete picture of reality. By doing what comes natural to us, we fail to account for our weaknesses and we crash. Either we keep doing that, or we change. In my opinion, these to barriers are the main embedments that get in the way of good decision making. I needed to replace the joy of being proven right with the joy of learning what is true. This prompted me to seek out the most thoughtful people I could find who disagreed with me. I didn't care about their conlusions, I just wanted to see things through their eyes and to have them see things through my eyes, so that together we could hash things out to discover what is true. In other words, what I wanted most from them was thoughtful disagreement. Going from seeing things from just my eyes to seeing things through these thoughtful people was like going from seeing things in black and white to seeing them in colour. The world lid up. The best way to go through the jungle of life is with insightful people who see things differently than me. You can get help from other who are good at what you are not. All you need to do is to let go of your attachment to having all the right answers yourself and use your fear of being wrong to become open-minded to these other views. Some think hard about what caused their setbacks, learn their lessons, and continue towards their goals. Now you must decide for yourself how you will evolve. My only hope for you is that you decide to struggle and evolve well, to make your life as great as it can be. Thanks a lot Ray Dalio for this truely extraordinary video. A life of pursuing wisdom brilliantly summarized.

Salute to the animator here, he or she is clearly brilliant and understands the golden ratio's influence on dynamics. #Salute

THIS SHOULD BE PART OF SCHOOL CURRICULUM.

This whole video is absolutely brilliant. The animation, the music, Dalio’s voiceover- the entire video is brilliant. What a time to have information this valuable readily available for minimal effort. “Replace the joy of being proven right with the joy of learning what is true.”

Thanks Ray. Your content has been invaluable.

This is incredibly valuable. I'm glad I'm watching this at 25 instead of later. I wish I could have watched this at 18, and again at 21, and now and see how I relate to it differently.

22:38 "The best way to live through the jungles of life is with people who see things differently from me." - Thanks, Ray! I love your words and wisdom. Very insightful!

This needs to be played in classrooms

ITS A MASTER PEICE , IN 30 MINUETS WE EXIPERIENCE THE 100 YEARS LIFE AND I FOUND WHAT IS MY PURPOSE OF LIFE. THANK YOU MR RAY DALIO.

It's not about being right but seeking truth, what a lovely lesson ❤

I like how reality encompassing this video is : acknowledging gaps in our mental models , realizing that we can work with them even if they're not fully-formed yet while pursuing to complete them.

I’m about 26 years old and I am coming to these conclusions before having seen this video all I can say is thank you because this helped confirm that I’m on the right path (yes I quit my job and have been working for myself) despite what everyone has told me doing what I don’t want. This has given me something to look forward too and once I make it to my destination I hope to pay it forward as you have

I am 70 and what ray is sharing is spot on , the sooner we except life as on life’s terms ,we all need to reflect by looking at our own side of the street as humans we are natural programmed to blame others , I always try and remember If i start making excuses, I have not reflected on my side of street…. It is critical to take your ego and pride out of it … I always remember pride comes before the fall . Love this video thanks ray keep doing your good work! We are all in charge of are own destiny.

WOW! Feels like something I should have paid $1000s for watching - Great information - Great compliment to your book Ray!

Amazing animated series. Your book was truly insightful and life-changing. You are an incredible teacher of life lessons. Thank you so much, Ray.

Ray is simply one of the GOATS. Not just because of his success in his career and everything hes achieved, but also because of his humility and generosity to others.

This is gold. I wish I had seen this back in high school, it could have saved me from a lot of mistakes along the way.

Thank you so much for the video, it's really awesome. I definitely prefer the 30 mins format compare to the short episode, but having both is even better.

I admire Ray that when he achieves success, he took the time to share how he does it so other people can be successful

This series is a master class in communication persuasion and message embedding. Brilliant!

The most forgotten aspect of success and intelligence is courage. Many people fail not because they're really loosers but because they don't have enough courage to take risk to try to reach their dream. And many people look stupid not because they're really dumb but because they're not brave enough to express their ideas.

Ray Dalio is truly one of the most gifted minds of our generation.

THIS TOUCHED MY HEART. THANK YOU RAY DALIO.

This is probably one of the most important videos on this website

I feel so blessed after watching this, Knowing that this is free knowledge and people are willing and doing things to help others to get past them. Thank You Ray Dalio

Such a beautiful, kind, humble and knowledgeable guide for self improvement, it feels so light after watching this video.

Never get old. Watched over and over again each year/half year. Each time I learn!

If school was this interactive every student would have loved coming to school.

Oh my GOSHHH. I am going to watch this so many times. Bravo. The illustrations, the simplicity, the speed of speech, the examples. Thank you.

There's nothing more precious than learning from people who've went through the lessons of life. Thank you Ray

The hero of a thousand faces meets the economy. Revealing! Outstanding.

Ray Dalio, big THANK YOU from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

The knowledge and experiences you are sharing are so invaluable, especially now when I am encountering a demoralizing failure. Thank you so much Mr.Dalio!

Thank you Ray Dalio. I've been sharing your videos with my friends, colleagues and family. I can't wait to see more of these!

I love discovering new people/authors that I can learn from. I just recently discovered Ray Dalio, and I really appreciate so much of what he has to say... as well as the fact that he has decided to try to share it. I'm in my early 40's, and these principles resonate very, very strongly with me. The struggle really has become a beautiful thing. I just experienced a failure this week that shook me. It shook me because it hurt my ego and my confidence. Over the past 2 days, I've thought about what I learned and what I will do differently next time. This has rekindled my desire to keep trying and to learn more each day... this in turn renews my confidence this time based on learning and perseverance rather than my ego.... of course I'll repeat this cycle again soon... I can hardly wait!

This is digital art! Your insights and these incredible illustrations tell such a wise and powerful story. Thank you for sharing this with the world 👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks Ray, i'm 50 so i have a few years under my belt. There's a lot of truth and simplicity in your words.

It's exactely what school should teach you! Ray is teaching life to everybody. Thanks sir!

This is a masterpiece. I cannot say any more than that. Thank you, Mr. Dalio!

One of the finest teachings one can receive in life; holistic, eye opening in every way possible! Frankly there’s no word that can explain the value of this!

Such a great video, I have watched it for almost 2.5 hours by watching, pausing, thinking about what's being said, absorbing the points and then moving forward.

GREATEST 30 MINUTES OF MY LIFE...OMG I HAVE SOO MUCH TO TYPE BUT ILL JUST EXPLAIN IN ONE LINE...THIS SPEECH IS MAGIC!!❤️🇮🇳🙏

Thank you! I needed this 40 years ago but it’s never too late to learn and change your path!

Ray Dalio, a contributor to the advancement of mankind

There's something divine in this...

So much valuable and meaningful principles in this video, Thank you for sharing it to people like us who is just starting the journey of life and I believe it will be really helpful to us.

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?

After watching this for a few minutes I’ve bought your book and recommended it to a relative. This was probably the best UKposts video I’ve ever seen.

Man this stuff is invaluable...just came back to watch this for a second time, over a year after the first time, and it hits me in a totally different way. Thank you Ray!!!

You are my favorite character and role model in the world of finance.👍🏻

This video is a gem. I keep coming back to it every few months to align myself when I lose track of things.

Ray, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your life has a different meaning with the love for educating others.

Principles must be in everyone's book list!

“I feared boredom and mediocrity more than I feared failure”. Thanks Ray. Your content has been invaluable..

I feel like the message hasnt broken into me yet, because I hadnt have my "A-ha!" moment. I will watch it again. Might help me publish my books one day.

Ray became a Level 5 Leader. We should all aspire to become the same.

Never heard about these principles but always applied them so far in my life :) did mistakes, paid for them and gained even more after. Nice to see that in structured way!

I have all your books and i definitely need them signed by the great Ray Dalio. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
