Akira The Don, Naval Ravikant - Intelligence Energy Integrity lyrics

People who work with that
Have high intelligence high energy
And high integrity
That's the three part checklist
That you cannot compromise on
You need someone who's smart
Or they're heading in the wrong direction
You need someone high energy
Because the world
Is full of smart lazy people
Everyone's smart at different things
So, depending on what you want
To do well you have
To find someone who's smart at
That thing And energy
A lot of times people are
Unmotivated for a specific thing
But they're not motivated for other things
For example
Someone might be really unmotivated to go to
A job and sit in an office


But they might be really
Motivated to go paint
Well in that case they should be a painter
They should be putting art up on the internet
Trying to figure out how to build
A career out of that
Rather than wearing a collar
Around their neck and going to a dreary job
And then high integrity is the most important
Because otherwise got the other two you
Have a smart and hardworking crook
Who's eventually gonna cheat you
So, you have to figure out
The person’s high integrity
The way you do that is through signals
And signals is what they do
Not what they say
It's all the nonverbal stuff that people
Do when they think nobody's looking

Pick people who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
High energy and high integrity pick
People who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
That’s the 3 part checklist that
You cannot compromise on

I almost won’t start a company or a
Hire a person or work with somebody
If I just don't think they're into
What I want them to do when I was younger
I used to try and talk
People into doing things
There is this idea you can
Sell someone into doing something
But you can’t you can't keep them motivated
You can get them inspired initially
It might work if you're a
King like Henry the fifth
And you’re trying to get them
To charge into battle
And then they’ll figure it out
But if you trying to keep someone
Motivated for the long term
That motivation has to come intrinsically
You can't just create it nor can
You be the crutch for them
Reading signals is very-very important
Signals are what people do
Despite what they say
We all know that socially if someone treats a
Waiter or waitress in a
Restaurant really badly
Then it's only a matter of time
Until they treat you badly
If somebody screws over an enemy
And is vindictive towards them
It's only a matter of time before
They redefined you from friends
To enemy and you feel their
Wrath Angry, outraged, vindictive
Short-term thinking people are that way in
Many interactions in their life pick
People who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
High energy and high integrity pick
People who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
That’s the 3 part checklist that
You cannot compromise on

People are oddly consistent is one of
The things you learn about them
So, you want to find long-term people
You want to find people
Who seem irrationally ethical
That's the kind of person you
Want to work with
Self-esteem is a reputation that
You have with yourself you'll always know
Good people moral people, ethical people
Easy to work with people, reliable people
Tend to have very high self-esteem
Because it they have
Very good reputation with themselves
And they understand that
It's not ego- self-esteem and
Ego are different things
Because ego can be undeserving
But self-esteem at least you feel
Like you lived up
To your own internal moral code of ethics
The more someone is saying that they are
Moral and ethical and high integrity
The less likely they are to be that way
It's very much like status signaling
If you overtly talk about high status
That is a low status move

If you openly talk about how honest
And reliable and trustworthy you are
You're probably not that
Honest and trustworthy
That is a characteristic of con-men

Pick people who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
High energy and high integrity pick
People who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
That’s the 3 part checklist that
You cannot compromise on pick
People who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
High energy and high integrity pick
People who work with high intelligence
High energy and high integrity
That’s the 3 part checklist that
You cannot compromise on
