The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

I've looked up to you for years as well.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

But I bring that up.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

I think that's an important thing to bring up because what has driven me are people like you.

And others, James Clear, Michael Lewis, people who I've really looked up to and not been so crazy to say, I wanna be that person one day, both because that's not, everyone should just do it in their own way.

But I've always been,

The Knowledge Project

I think there's a difference between envy and aspiration.

The Knowledge Project

You can be really inspired by someone's success without envying them.

And if I can name half a dozen people that I've really looked up to and said like, man, they're a good role model.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

But the important thing is I don't envy them.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

I can also name half a dozen people I won't, who I've envied.

The Knowledge Project

And when I try to get introspective about that, why do I envy that person?

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

It's usually it's because they achieved a level of success, but I didn't like how they did it.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

And that's a subjective thing.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

Maybe they're all good people in their own right.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

I don't want to be too judgmental, which is why I won't name them.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

But I think it's an important distinction of people in your life who inspire you versus you envy them.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

And I think everyone, if they're honest, probably has some of both.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

But I really โ€“ I like looking up to people where it's like not only do I appreciate what you did professionally โ€“

The Knowledge Project

and think you did it with a high level of integrity, and you look like you're having fun doing it.

The Knowledge Project
Morgan Housel: Wealth is What You Have Minus What You Want

But at least from my appearance, I like the whole package of the life that you're living, and that's really important.
