"Lucky or not, your effort determines your success."

"The pleasure we get from our beliefs about other people is not necessarily based on reality."

"Whenever we describe an object by many of its characteristics, we judge probability by representativeness."

"We are often fooled by our own minds."

"Confidence is a feeling, which reflects the coherence of the information and the cognitive ease of processing it."

"What you see is all there is, and it determines your reality."

"Most people lack confidence in their own individual beliefs."

"The person who has demonstrated an ability to foresee relevant events has a competitive advantage."

"We should be very skeptical of the possibility of large effects from psychological interventions on life outcomes."

"There are some aspects of our lives that we cannot control."

"We tend to support our existing beliefs rather than change them."

"Money does buy happiness, but only up to a certain point."

"We fail to account for uncertainty in our judgments and decisions."

"Randomness is everywhere, but our minds are biased toward seeing patterns."

"Humans are prone to confidence in their beliefs, even when those beliefs are unfounded."

"The effort required to refute a false belief is much greater than to accept it in the first place."

"Experience is not a reliable guide to intuition."

"We are all overconfident in our ability to predict others' behavior."

"The future is inherently uncertain, and our attempts to predict it are often futile."

"We make judgments based on incomplete information."

"Believing in something makes it more true in your own mind."

"Success requires skill, but luck is also important."

"We are all subject to unconscious biases that affect our thinking."
