To be honest I only started taking an interest in it about a year ago, then took it a step further by reading your articles and a book you recommaded. Now I see how it can apply to so many things. I've recently heard a speech by Marc Fontecave about ecology in which he defended a path of innovation rather than restriction, arguing it would yield the best results long-term.

So I guess thank you for making me realize how good a tool compound interest is to think long-term.

Thanks for your comment! It's really an astonishing concept. I grasped the power of compounding on few occasions such as celebrating a 10-year friendship, getting engaged, becoming an expert on a particular field etc. Another revelation was understanding that things or people can compound negatively too. Better be careful!
