Ik denk dat veel mensen niet gemaakt zijn om te beleggen. Puur omdat ze niet met de stress om kunnen. En dat is fair. Niet iedereen hoeft een belegger te zijn.

Nog minder mensen zijn gemaakt om te ondernemen en dat is ook ok. Het is niet altijd tof om ondernemer te zijn en het neemt je leven al snel over in veel manieren.

Maar waar ik persoonlijk wel een probleem mee heb, is dat steeds meer mensen denken recht te hebben op de baten van ondernemen en beleggen, maar tegelijk niet de bijhorende stress, risico en verantwoordelijkheid ervoor willen lopen.

Sorry, je kan niet tegelijk passagier willen zijn als het stormt en kapitein als de winst verdeeld wordt. Ondernemers mogen dat vaker beginnen zeggen.

Nobody champions the love of the automobile quite like Jeremy Clarkson.

Jimmy Carr nailed something a lot of us feel but can’t explain.

We’re living better than 99.9% of humans who ever walked the earth, hot showers, modern medicine, endless entertainment, kids that actually survive infancy, yet so many of us feel miserable.

He calls it “life dysmorphia.” We get used to how good we have it (the hedonic treadmill), then compare ourselves to everyone else and tank our own happiness.

As he puts it: happiness = quality of life minus envy.

Marcus Aurelius put it perfectly: “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.”

When was the last time you caught yourself feeling unhappy despite objectively having it pretty damn good?

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

🏃‍♂️ I've gamified my own run so I can race my own ghost with the Meta Ray-Ban Display.

I built a web app for the glasses, loaded a previous GPX from Strava, and dropped game mechanics on top.

Pick up coins when you keep pace, sprint zones reward extra points if you push, and a mini leaderboard on the lens shows how you're tracking against your past self in real time.

Best part: it actually works. Seeing your ghost 20 m ahead is a way stronger nudge than any number on a watch. 😅
