You
(page 12)
Once we decided to be in this industry, we have to be ready for everything. You have to be strong but hard working. No pain, no gain.
Always write your ideas down however silly or trivial they might seem. Keep a notebook with you at all times.
'Who do you think you are?' That's the big one, isn't it? A flourishing life depends on how you answer that.
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
None of us are immune to grief, and everyone who has suffered loss understands that grief changes, but you never wake up one morning and you've moved on. It stays with you, and, you know, you ebb and flow.
No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.
It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
I can't tell you how many guys have approached me when I'm doing cardio. Like, I have my headphones on; I'm in the zone, so don't bother me.
Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.
Supply chains cannot tolerate even 24 hours of disruption. So if you lose your place in the supply chain because of wild behavior you could lose a lot. It would be like pouring cement down one of your oil wells.
Happiness can only be found if you can free yourself of all other distractions.
If you get involved in a controversy, then that becomes the mesmerizing event that people remember you by.
Flags say something. You put a rainbow flag on your windshield, and you're saying something.
I have a great respect for incremental improvement, and I've done that sort of thing in my life, but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.
You cannot be a hero without being a coward.
I always encourage people to get out there, travel the world, see new things, experience new people, experience new food, experience new culture. What happens is that helps you to grow and be your best self.
Consider what people think of you, but don't be afraid of what people think of you.
