Munger's mental models #12: Soldiering on!
Oct 08, 2024
Mental models
In this short series of blogs and videos, in honour of the late Charles Munger, I take a look at some of his most powerful mental models.
Soldiering on
We have finally reached the end of this short video series!
And we've saved the most important life lesson for last: soldiering on!
Munger once said:
"I basically believe in the soldier on system. Lots of hardship will come and you gotta handle it well by soldiering through."
Munger said that the one iron-clad law of life is that we will experience setbacks and tough times.
And in the spirit of seven times down, eight times up, we all need to be able to process disappointment and tragedy, and the get back up one more time.
Munger perhaps knew this more than most, having lost his son at a young age
“Somehow you soldier through. If you have to walk through the streets, crying for a few hours a day as part of the soldiering, go ahead and cry away. But, you can’t quit.”
Tough times are coming for us all.
Maybe it's the most important lesson that there is.
Soldiering on.
I discussed this a little further in the short video below:
