"Douleur + Réflexion = Progrès"
— Ray Dalio
Simplified Meaning:
When we go through something difficult or painful, it is not just the pain itself that helps us grow. It’s also about thinking deeply about what happened. For example, imagine someone who lost their job. Initially, it’s a tough experience and feels really painful. But if they take the time to understand why it happened, like maybe they need to improve some skills or change their attitude, they learn from the experience. By thinking about their experience and making changes, they become better prepared for the future. This combination of feeling the pain and learning from it helps them move forward and improve their life.
