Hi friends,

This is Kei and Kazuki from Glasp πŸ‘‹

We are excited to start Day 4 of the 5 Day Reading Challenge πŸ“šβœ¨ Here are three good articles we choose, so when you finish reading any of them or any article you want, share it on Twitter with the hashtag, "#read5for5"! Let's read good articles together and connect with like-minded people🀝

Today's Reading List πŸ“š

(1) Build Personal Moats by Erik Torenberg (5 mins)

  • A "personal moat" is a unique, durable competitive advantage in one's career, based on rare and valuable skills or knowledge that is hard for others to replicate.

  • Discovering this advantage involves finding what is easy for you but hard for others, and which aligns with your passions and the world's needs.

  • Whether specializing or generalizing, the key is being exceptional at something, leveraging that to gain social and financial capital.

(2) 40 Years of Stanford Research Found That People With This One Quality Are More Likely to Succeed by James Clear (5 mins)

  • Stanford research spanning 40 years revealed that the ability to delay gratification is a key quality for success in various aspects of life.

  • Children who could wait for a second marshmallow in the famous Marshmallow Experiment had better outcomes, including higher SAT scores and improved social skills.

  • The capacity to delay gratification is not fixed; it can be developed through reliable experiences and training, making small improvements and fulfilling promises.

(3) Chesterton’s Fence: A Lesson in Second Order Thinking by FS Blog (7 mins)

  • Understanding the rationale behind previous decisions is crucial for making great decisions and avoiding potential harm.

  • Second-order thinking involves considering the consequences of our decisions and the consequences of those consequences, leading to extraordinary results.

  • Chesterton's Fence principle states that we should not remove a fence or change a system without understanding why it was put in place, as it may have important reasons and removing it can lead to unintended consequences.
