Naval Ravikanth
I’ve never met Naval Ravikant. Probably never will. But his ideas found me when I had lost nearly everything — purpose, direction, even hope. At the age of 35, I hit what felt like rock bottom. Failure wasn’t abstract anymore — it was real, heavy, and personal.
In that silence, Naval’s words gave me something rare: a mental model. Not motivation, not cheerleading — but clarity. A way to think. A way to start again, slowly, from first principles.
I’m not "there" yet. Still rebuilding. Progress still feels slower than I’d like. But for the first time in a while, the direction feels right. And sometimes, that’s enough.
I know I am not 14 year old anymore, but here are a few of my fav lines/quotes from Naval:
Doctors won’t make you healthy.
Nutritionists won’t make you slim.
Teachers won’t make you smart.
Gurus won’t make you calm.
Mentors won’t make you rich.
Trainers won’t make you fit.
Ultimately, you have to take responsibility.
Save yourself.
