Charlie Munger, the Stoic: "Life will have terrible blows in it. Horrible blows. Unfair blows. It doesn't matter. And some people recover and others don't."

"There, I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something. Your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion."

To celebrate shipping our 1,000th putter at @HannaGolfCo, we are doing a giveaway.

How to enter:

• Retweet this tweet
• Fill out the form in the next tweet

There is a catch: It's a blind giveaway.

It's a prototype.

You will get it before we even release it on our website. But we aren't sharing what the putter model is.

Here is what we are sharing.

• Aged copper plate finish
• Can select length
• Can select lie angle
• Can select sight line
• Can select paint fill color
• Can select black or chrome shaft
• Can pick the initials you want milled

It's a custom prototype putter. You just don't know what it looks like.

We will be releasing this putter in April or May (not the same model we are posting about tomorrow).

I love this putter. We had a DI team in the shop, and half the guys got this putter.

The CEO of Uber just revealed his controversial way of running his company.

His principle:

Hard work is a learned skill.

And if you haven't developed it by now, you probably never will.

Dara Khosrowshahi went on Diary of a CEO and dropped something most executives would NEVER admit publicly...

He was asked a simple question:

"Have you ever seen someone who wasn't a hard worker become a really hard worker?"

His answer: "No. No one occurs to me."

Not one person. In decades of building billion dollar companies.

Then he explained why:

"The most important skill in life is the skill of working hard. It's not something you can turn on and off. It's a LEARNED skill. That's not something you're born with."

Read that again.

He's not saying hard workers are special or gifted.

He's saying they LEARNED it. Developed it. Trained it like a muscle.

And the people who never learned it?

They stay that way forever.

This is the guy who turned Uber from bleeding $3 billion a year into printing $10 billion in free cash flow.

The guy who took Expedia from $2B to $9B in revenue.

And his entire thesis on success comes down to one skill most people never bother developing.

Here's how he runs Uber:

"You come to Uber, you're going to work your ass off. If you're not performing, we're going to let you know. And if you don't fix it, we're going to push you out."

He sends emails on Saturdays.

If no response by Sunday, he follows up with just "?"

When HR told him he was "scaring people" early in his tenure, he said:

"Then they can leave."

And here's what separates this from toxic hustle culture nonsense:

Dara has dinner with his family every night. 6 to 8pm is protected.

But he's back on email at 9:30pm.

And again at 5:30am.

It's not about grinding yourself to death.

It's about the refusal to be outworked.

"I'm not going to let anyone outwork me. They may be smarter, more talented. But I'm not going to let anyone outwork me."

He studied the elites. Ronaldo. Jordan. The pattern is always the same...

Talent gets you in the room.

But the thing that separates the best from everyone else?

"They work their asses off. They're disciplined. They're structured. They're relentless."

That's learned behavior. Not genetics.

The uncomfortable truth here is that most people had their chance to develop this skill.

And they didn't.

Now they spend their energy debating whether hard work is "toxic" instead of building something.

The question isn't whether this is "fair" or "healthy" or whatever cope people want to throw at it.

The question is which SIDE you're going to be on.

The people who learned to work?

Or the people who learned to make excuses?

It seems like a lot of the "AI will replace my lawyer" takes stem from a misunderstanding about what value a lawyer provides.

It's not that we know what certain legalese means and you don't, or that we can format a Word doc just so. Some of us still print out every single email and have our assistant reply for us from dictation (not me, but some that I know). Couldn't add a page number to a document to save a life.

Even if we just focus on the writing part for transactional work, which is just one sliver of what a lawyer does, it's not just about creating a document that looks like other legal documents.

It's figuring out what to write that makes sense for your specific situation, at that time, in that context, to be presented to that other party, in a way that will protect you now and in the future. It's also about NOT writing something that will become a problem down the road.

It's about balancing what to include and what not to include appropriately for the client, understanding their goals. That usually, if not always, requires understanding the client's business and their positioning, not just whatever this specific transaction or issue is about. It requires asking the client questions that they might not think to ask themselves.

ChatGPT cannot do this correctly today, just like incompetent lawyers can't. But ChatGPT will trick you into thinking it has done a great job, confidently and stubbornly wrong in its work product, like only the worst lawyers will.

I don't think computing power increases will imbue an LLM with the judgment it would need to represent a client as effectively as a competent lawyer, even in a transactional context.

Of course there are some non-attorneys out there who are sophisticated enough to handle some of their own legal matters, so they can use a capable AI tool to help get the job done just like a lawyer might. But from the discourse I've seen on Twitter, those people are not the ones announcing that the legal profession has about 6 months left.
