Pieter Slegers: "Everything in life compounds"

Everything in life compounds.  It's not just your wealth or your stocks.  It's also for your knowledge.  And the more you know, the more you will be able to connect certain dots or see certain things.  And I think that's the beautiful thing about investing, because it never stops.  There is no single day that looks the same as the previous one.

Pieter Slegers on investing and learning

Keep growing and be a learning machine.  I definitely don't consider myself, for example, the smartest guy in the room...  How can you offset it?  Just by reading as much as you possibly can...  The first thing I do, every first two hours - I'm a morning person, an early bird - every day between 5 am and 7 am, I just read...  Last year I read 91 books...  Everything can be found in books and by reading, buying a $20 book, and basically learning from the best person in the world about a certain topic.  That's amazing.  And when you combine these books with having some great mentors in your life, people who are maybe farther than you in what you are doing, well that's a very powerful combination...  If you reach out to people asking for help, asking for advice, you will be surprised how many people are willing to help you, especially people with a lot of experience.  They love to help you, especially people with a lot of experience.  They love to help other people get along the way.
