“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.
Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.”
— Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang
Life advice nobody told you: Build momentum early in the day. One small win in the morning creates energy that compounds throughout the day. 10 minutes of reading. A quick workout. A finished task. Great days are built on tiny wins that ripple. Small things become big things.
We were absolutely floored by the millions of you that watched us make silly water sillouettes on our driveway last summer. We are starting out the summer the only way we know how, and this time it’s all about movies! What else do you want to see? We have a whole summer ahead, a driveway and a hose. The possibilities are endless!!!
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
I researched human happiness for three years while working on my first book. One thing I learned was that happiness was really about attention. The happiest people didn't have perfect lives. But the imperfections were never their focus. They found joy in ordinary days. Gratitude in small moments. Meaning in simple things. Happiness is about attention, not perfection.

there was something beautiful about library checkout cards because you could literally see the history of human curiosity attached to a book. like a tiny ghost trail of strangers connected by the same story.
don't forget to tell someone you love them today. not in your head—out loud. with your actual voice. the people you care about are not mind readers and tomorrow is not promised and the sentence takes two seconds and it lands harder than you think. say it before the day is over.

Underrated life skill: Making people feel important. Put your phone away. Listen closely. Ask thoughtful questions. Remember details. Remember names. Be fully present. The ability to make someone feel seen is one of the rarest and most valuable skills. And it's not that hard.
