And I don't know, I do think we get a lot of young people to do it for an extended period of time.

The meat grinder thing.

I just yesterday met with five of the top people

I helped start this robotics honors program at Texas, and I met with five of them.

And, like, you know, they're giving you their background, Eagle Scout, and 1580 SAT and all.

Like, clearly, this human's been programmed to go take the hill, like, on every single thing they do.

But I don't think that's the path to greatness.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

I just don't think...

I don't think just being good at the grind is what it takes to be truly exceptional.

He takes a shot at somebody, right?

still i don't i don't love that that much you know i love it's not the energy that i have yeah so there's a there's a there's a counter example to that there's this thing you can find on youtube where shack was on uh the that famous show that he does with with kenny and and charles and ernie and um inside the nba i think it's called uh the uh

He's at the All-Star thing and there's all these legends there.

And he just kind of goes off on his own talking.

And he talks for like five minutes and they don't interrupt him.

And he's telling his story of how he made it.

and all the people that influenced him along the way and how he views all these legends as idols and he just goes on he's just thought thankful like gracious for four or five minutes and ernie's crying by the time he's done and i love watching it i've watched it probably 10 times i just love the notion that you carry that much um

thankfulness for the others that helped you get where you are.

And I think in conveying that it may be in, and it makes him look like remarkable, you know, it really does like that.

He, that his brain's wired that way.
