Key Takeaways
To read people effectively, observe them in relaxed environments to establish a baseline of their behavior, then look for breaks in that pattern during high-stress moments.
Adopt extreme responsibility by retelling your stories of failure as if you were 100% in control of the outcome; this shifts you from a victim mindset to one of 'response-ability.'
Update your 'mental software' every few years by learning from the younger generation; the day you stop being a humble student is the day you start getting surpassed by the market.
