Here’s how Munger put it:
“Problems frequently get easier if you turn them around in reverse. In other words, if you want to help India, the question you should ask is *not* ‘how can I help India,’ it’s ‘what is doing the worst damage in India and how do I avoid it?”

Based on the concept of inversion, awilkinson and _Sparling_ the came up with Anti-Goals:
A problem solving strategy to help you focus on what you *don’t* want so you can work out what you do want.
I feel there's a way to connect Anti-Goals to kids.

The Power of Anti-Goals
How I designed my perfect day by fixating on what I hate
Most kids have no idea what they want.
It’s easier for them to think about what they *don’t* want than what they do, yet we continue to focus on helping them set goals.
This process results in a compilation of ideas from teachers & parents that hardly represent what kids want.

What if we turn the exercise around and help kids set Anti-Goals?
1. List the things they *don't* enjoy doing or make them unhappy
2. List the specific steps they will implement to ensure these won’t happen
By keeping in mind what to avoid, it’s easier to know what to do.

If you're young and ambitious, you have 2 career options:
1. Enter an old industry - Wait 20 years until experienced people retire.
2. Enter a new industry - Become an expert in 12 months.
The competitive advantage of being young is you're an internet native. Use it.

Few better investments in 2020 than booking out a day per week to learn a skill:
1. No money needed.
2. You're in control of the compounding.
3. Safest way to 2-5x your income in 24 months.
Buy stock in constant learning.
In the information age, it will MOON.

The teacher learns more than the student.
The author learns more than the reader.
The speaker learns more than the attendee.
The way to learn is by doing.
