“Everything should be made as simple as
possible, but not simpler”
Albert Einstein
There are first-level thinkers and second-level
thinkers.The latter is used to looking what’s behind common sense, they tend
to be misunderstood by people in general. They are, sometimes, considered
strange people by most of society. They are considered the antimatter.
There is
an inner feeling of refusing the conventional. Maybe because it’s not enough
for them. That first dimension where everybody lives is not completely
satisfactory for second-level thinkers. They need more, to go deeper, to find
what lays underneath the basic truth.
This physiological necessity to
understand the not understandable is sometimes a blessing but most of the times
a curse. A second-level thinker walks alone in his thoughts while his body is
stuck inside of a casket.
You can not do the same things others do and expect
to outperform whatever you might be thinking in outperforming. Be the antimatter if you want to "beat the market". Do what no one else is doing. Dig deeper where nobody wants to dig and you will find the second-level thinker dimension.
It's almost sure that you will never be the same again.
