I love that he refused to get back into the mud. Healthy ppl don’t like to dwell on negative experiences. They keep moving forward. It’s critical to well-being.
Elon Musk admits he got carried away working with Donald Trump and stayed in politics for too long.
MUSK: "I think I had it going on for too long. A lot of people might disagree with me. I think it was important to elect President Trump to sort of steer things more in the direction of a free market economy, have less bureaucracy ideally. In my sort of simple political platform of wanting safe cities, secure borders, aspirationally sensible spending, you know, the basics, I thought Trump would be better than Kamala basically. But what I should have done, I think, was be more in the background. It was interesting to sort of go around with President Trump and go on Marine One and Air Force One and all that sort of stuff."
ISAACSON: "But was that too seductive in a way?"
MUSK: "It was a little bit. It was kind of cool because I'm just there in the Oval Office while all these big momentous decisions are being made and sometimes having some impact on what's being done. But I think I should have been more in the background and probably only had it last for a month or two because at that point you've seen most of what there is to see within a month or two."
ISAACSON: "You seem to get a bit too intoxicated by it in a way with the chainsaws and all that."
MUSK: "I think that's true. I got carried away basically. I ended up leaving I guess sometime in May."
ISAACSON: "That was a weird weekend."
MUSK: "Yeah, it was."
Walter Isaacson: "Tell me about it."
MUSK: "No, let's not dig up the... let's let sleeping dogs lie or whatever. Let's not put a spade down in the backyard type of thing. You never know what you're going to find. But anyway, the point is I should have gone back and focused on AI a little sooner than I did."
Арнольд Шварценеггер: "Знаешь, почему большинство талантливых людей так и остаются никем? Они включают фальшивую скромность. Они говорят: «Я творец, я просто делаю свою работу. Пускай мир сам меня заметит».
Это чушь. Ты можешь быть гением, создавать лучшие продукты или писать шедевры. Но если люди об этом не знают, у тебя ничего нет. Абсолютный ноль. Твой талант просто умрёт вместе с тобой.
Умение продавать, продвигать себя. Доносить свою ценность до других и убеждать — это не грязное ремесло. Это величайшее искусство, без которого ты никто.
Чем больше людей узнают о том, на что ты способен, тем ближе ты к вершине. Перестань прятаться в тени. Выходи и учись заявлять о себе на весь мир. Твой успех зависит только от этого"

Mike Tyson dropped pure wisdom on JRE:
“You don’t have discipline? You ain’t nobody. Nothing.”
Then he hit the killer line Cus D’Amato taught him:
“Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.”
Joe Rogan nailed the follow-up: master that and you can succeed at anything.
I’ve got plenty of things I know I should do that I straight-up dread. The days I force myself to attack them with energy instead of dragging my feet? Those are the days momentum actually shows up.
Talent and motivation are everywhere. Discipline is what separates the ones who actually make it from the ones who stay “almost there.” In a world full of distractions and easy dopamine, this mindset feels like a cheat code most people never unlock.
What’s one thing you hate doing but know you need to do and how do you trick yourself into loving the process?
High cortisol is the real reason you wake up at 3-4 AM.
It also shaves 5 years off your life — tanks testosterone, locks belly fat, literally shrinks your brain.
If I wanted to fix it without medication, here are 8 things I'd do every day:
1. No food 3 hours before bed.
