Renowned for his profound insights into both life and business, Naval Ravikant has earned significant respect in the fields of entrepreneurship, investing, and writing. As the visionary behind AngelList, a platform that bridges startups with investors, and a key backer of major companies like X (formerly Twitter), Uber, and Yammer, Naval’s wealth of knowledge and experience has made him a highly influential figure.
A video that is being shared widely on social media platforms now shows Ravikant talking about three key aspects of life that can’t be purchased but must be achieved through effort. The video was posted on X by Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi), accompanied by a caption quoting Naval’s words: “A calm mind, a fit body, and a house full of love. These things cannot be bought. They must be earned.”
Ravikanth then introduces a fourth aspect––respect––explaining that while respect is important, one should avoid pursuing it directly, as this pursuit often transforms into a quest for fame.
