Naval Ravikant shares the most valuable advice he’s received
When asked about the best advice he’s ever received, @naval says he first ignored it.
“It's the same [piece of advice] that everyone who's been in the business for a long time and has a lot of gray hairs tells you… whether it's Warren Buffett telling you about public investing or whether it's an experienced venture capitalist telling you about private investing… They'll all tell you, ‘It’s the people, stupid.’”
There are three qualities to look for in a partner: intelligence, energy, and integrity.
“You need all three. You can't compromise on any one of them. Otherwise, you'll end up with either someone who's not smart (which does you no good) or someone who's not hardworking (which also does you no good) or the worst case is you end up with a smart, hardworking crook who ends up working against your interests…”
