Lecture to Univ. of Puerto Rico MBA Class on mental models on Sept. 26, 2016

1/26/2017

11 Comments

 
I thoroughly enjoyed my talk to the University of Puerto Rico MBA students in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sept. 26,2016 where I discussed three mental models in the spirit of Charlie Munger’s latticework of mental models.

The three models include
  • The Power of Truth: Commit to candor, however painful or uncomfortable it may be. Being relentlessly truthful (and avoiding “white lies”) will strengthen your relationships with those around you in the long run. 
  • Compounding is the 8th Wonder of the World: Resist the temptation to pull money out of compounding accounts like 401(k)s; instead, leave them and let them compound over the longest runways possible.
  • Dhandho Entrepreneurship: Take advantage of extracurricular time at your full-time job to first test your start-up ideas before quitting your day job to become the next Elon Musk. If you fail, you’ll still have a job. Heads you win, tails you don’t lose much! 

Enjoy!

Hi Mohnish, Thank your for sharing these. I realize this was recorded this about in Sept 2016, but as you talked about the importance of truth I was thinking about American politics, and am honestly pretty shaken right now.

On the compounding. I'm going to share that single idea with my nephew on his upcoming birthday.

Thank you again for sharing these videos.

Sir, thank you for three core fundamentals that talk about integrity, honesty and bravery ( calculated risk )

watched almost every YouTube video of yours on value investing. You are one of the best to explain things to beginners like me. My journey started as an IT professional but deep in my mind I have always passion in investing.

The way you explained the compounding using "Chess Board" is an amazing and every one should recommend their kids a must to watch.

I live near by Chicago but if possible would like to attend your future session of open to public in USA.

Also have lot of questions on how to invest in INDIA from here. I am thinking lot of Buffet and your principles can be cloned and applied successfully on an emerging economy like INDIA.

Kudos and proud of you for "Dakshina" foundation. A lot to learn from you professionally and personally.

Best Regards

It’s in fact very complicated in this active life to listen news on Television, thus I only use web for that purpose, and obtain the most recent news.
