The Man in the Arena
President Theodore Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Aren’t you worth half a billion dollars?
Who’s stopping @LewisHamilton from giving away his wealth?
Is it fair that you won 105 F1 races + 7 championships?
Don’t you think one is enough?
Why are you so greedy with victories?
Be less competitive. 🤔

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
-Anthony Bourdain
For those of you who’ve recently been awarded a leadership position, congratulations. Continue to earn respect by mentoring every day. People still ask me to mentor, and I’m always honored to do so.
Solar is impressive. Mankind currently adds ~600GW per year (or about 120GW firm) by installing ~2.7m panels *every day*.
In order for Valar Atomics to exceed this rate, we only need to install 13 of our reactors per day to match.
And our goals are much more ambitious than 13.
Glad to see they let you kids take a break from "counting" ballots five days after the election to remind
everyone of just how bad you are at your day jobs....
Decades from now, we will earnestly study why Democrats chose to alienate real men from their ranks and instead run the biggest flamers they can find while spending millions on ineffective PR campaigns to make them look like caricatures of the real men they alienated.
