2 min readApr 9, 2021
- Most conversations do not interest you anymore — The only conversations you want to partake in are controversial or emotionally stimulating ones.
- Answers often leave you unsatisfied — “Okay… that’s nice.” you may think to yourself and “But what does that mean? What then? This can’t be all!” are frequent thoughts in your mind.
- You watch TV for other reasons than Entertainment — There is something else you gain from it other than being entertained and wasting time away. You may even be taking notes!
- What you do in your free-time has a purpose — You know exactly why you are doing what you are doing and go at most things with a plan.
- Every day you learn something new — You do not spend a single day not learning. In fact, often you feel like you are learning too much and it is actually taking away from your life.
- You know where people are going — In the conversations that you do have you can clearly see how the conversation is going to go and what their point will be at the end.
- You have an eye on the goal — While most people get lost in the details of problems or conversations, you will be able to keep your focus on the end and never lose sight of the bigger picture.
- Analogies come naturally to you — You can make countless analogies and can connect fields that have nothing to do with one another. Such as using a bike-riding example to explain asset building in companies.
- Your mind goes a step further — Most people will not pursue things to the degree you would and you will most often be the last one wondering “What then?”. Your meta-cognition is higher than that of most people and it will allow your mind to go a step further with an answer ready.
