@Rainmaker1973 Love these kinds of visualizations to explain the size of our cosmos! 🚀🧑‍🚀🪐

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:

1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)

The last one is how government spending works

@garonnevik Thanks for providing the context. It looked impressive but now I have a much better appreciation. 😃

I love the Olympics. Winter, summer, every single games, I tune in.

I love it because we see how sports bring us together.

I love it because we are reminded that sports are the ultimate equalizer. Look at weightlifting in the summer Olympics or downhill skiing now. The weights and the mountain don’t care what country you come from, how much money you have, or what religion you are. The weights and the mountain are the same for every single competitor.

I love it, most of all, because the Olympics remind us of a core life lesson: greatness and heartbreak live right next door to each other.

You can’t find greatness without a few meetings with heartbreak and failure.

We saw this very clearly over the weekend.

Like many of you, I’ve been following my friend Lindsey Vonn’s inspirational comeback. She’s 41, one knee is completely rebuilt, and now she went into the Olympics with a freshly-torn ACL.

As storylines go, you can’t get any better. It is gutsy. It is brave. It is a little bit crazy.

And it brings out all of the losers to do their naysaying.

“Why would she do this?” 
”She must be missing something in her life.”
“It’s irresponsible.”

What these people don’t understand, because they’ve never tried anything great, because they’ve never pushed themselves to the absolute edges of their limits, because they’ll never know their real potential, is that there is no such thing as risk-free greatness.

Yesterday, when her Olympic dreams ended in that horrible crash that left all of us praying for her in front of our televisions, the haters were out in full force.

I don’t need to repeat it. Twitter has given losers enough of a platform; I won’t be amplifying them in this newsletter.

@TheoVon His insights about the difficulties of a backup Center have been fascinating. Love those perspectives only a veteran QB would know.
