Nvidia CEO: 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.

Steve Harvey on What He Realized After His Father Passed Away

“When a man's father dies, he realizes that the one man who truly wanted him to be better than him is gone … When my daddy died, I didn't have nobody to say they was proud of me.”

MrBeast went back to the bedroom where he started YouTube to celebrate hitting 500,000,000 subscribers

“This is where I created my channel and why I wanted to do this video where I gave a nod to all these OG YouTubers that came before me”

“When I was a little kid in this bedroom, a lot of these creators, I used to watch them every single day”

“I wanna say thank you to all of you that watch the videos because without you guys watching these videos, I wouldn't be able to build wells around the world, feed people in need”

“I wouldn't be able to do the good I do, even if it was still just a handful of you watching, even if most of you guys went away and it was just me right now talking to ten of you, I’d still be grinding YouTube”

“I love this more than you could ever imagine. I'm beyond blessed to have this many viewers. In closing, I just want to say I will never take you guys for granted”

NEWS: SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell is now worth $1.3 billion.

She joined SpaceX in 2002 as its 11th employee. Today she runs the company's day to day operations as President and COO.

Forbes just placed her on its 2026 list of America's Richest Self-Made Women.

Employee number 11 to billionaire.

On December 27, 1968, Apollo 8 needed to fire its engine to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth.

If the burn was wrong, the crew would never come home.

In Mission Control, a 25-year-old mathematician named Frances Northcutt, known as Poppy, had prepared the return-to-Earth calculations.

She was the first woman to work in Mission Control in a technical role.

When the burn data came back, something was off.
The numbers didn't match the expected trajectory.

She had 4 minutes to determine whether the deviation was within tolerance or whether Apollo 8 was in danger.

She ran the calculations by hand.
They were within tolerance.

She gave the go.
The crew came home.

She later went to law school and became a prominent civil rights attorney.

When asked about her time at NASA she said:
"We were just doing our jobs. Nobody thought it was unusual except the reporters."

The people who kept the astronauts alive were largely anonymous.
Most of them were young women with slide rules.

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:

Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

Ben Affleck says you're supposed to live in a village and see about 100 people in your entire lifetime

"we weren't made evolutionarily as human beings like we're supposed to be living in a village and see about 100 people in our lifetime"

"that's the vast majority of human history...that's how we did it and I still feel like in a way that's how we're socialized...it's why if you feel left out of a group it's very painful"

"even social media for example you looking at stuff you know damn why is everybody life is so good...that's also is a basic primal thing"

Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.

“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.

There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.

At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.

We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.

And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”
