The news is just noise.

It pollutes your mind.

Distracts you from your business.

If you want to cure yourself, spend a year reading last week’s newspapers (this is a Nassim Taleb tip).

You’ll realise that 100% of what you’re reading is irrelevant to this week.

Politics, stock markets, sports, whatever. Just noise.

Read the news for entertainment.

For your business, avoid it.
