Shaquille O'Neal says men can be sexually faithful in a relationship, but believes some men cheat for different reasons.
"Of course."
"I know it can be done."
"I think it depends on her."
"I think there's three types of cheaters."
"There's a serial cheater."
"There's the James Bond cheater... I do everything right. I'm in Rio, I see a little thing. Boom, boom, boom. Nobody sees me. I come back home to my normal life."
"And then there's the guy that's forced to cheat."
"Women run the world. Y'all just don't know it."
LeBron James says most people are more in love with the finish line than the process
“I think ultimately everybody want the glitz and glam but everybody don't want to work”
“Everybody always talking about they want this and they want that and seeing what you got. Alright, you going to get up at 3:00 in the morning and let's go work. You want to stream for 30 days straight? Let's rock”
“Everybody they see everything, all the rewards but my biggest thing, you're more in love with the finish line than the process”
“Fall in love with the process. If you can't fall in love with the process, then don't talk”

Marc Andreessen says Edison's General Electric was funded by J.P. Morgan as a side hustle.
Most people know J.P. Morgan as the railroad financier.
He built the world's biggest investment bank.
What's less well known: Morgan also wrote personal checks to inventors.
Andreessen's framing:
"J.P. Morgan as a venture capitalist in his spare time."
Edison was Morgan's most famous bet.
Andreessen's read on Edison:
"Edison was less incandescently brilliant, and he was more of a grinder. When they invented the filament for the light bulb, they just tried like a thousand different combinations."
Morgan's money funded the brute-force approach.
The result was General Electric — and the entire national electric grid.
Then Edison invented the movie projector.
He spent years enforcing his patents.
Two things made it possible: Edison's grinder mentality, and Morgan's checkbook.
It might be the most consequential venture bet in American history.
Made by a man who already had a day job.
Edison was the founder. Morgan was the patron.
Edison or Morgan — who deserves the credit?
