And then they also, you know, treat people essentially not as people.

If you had to teach someone who is 19 how to find their life's work, based off of reading about 400 people and not talking to dozens of hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, what would you say is the exercises that they should do?

My problem is, I think at that age, I wouldn't have taken anybody's advice.

And I think I'm only now, the last few years, been open to letting other people mold my mind.

Well, what would you say?

The fact that they're asking the question.

There's this great line where it's like a 21-year-old kid comes up to Mozart and it's like, I want to know how to write a symphony.

And she says, you're too young.

And the guy that is asking Mozart the question is just like, yeah, but you wrote symphonies when you were 14.

He's like, yeah, but I didn't go around asking people how to do it.

there's something in there where you feel somebody else has the answer.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't ask for advice.

I'll be very clear here.

I don't think there's anything magical I would have to say that would put them on the other path.

You need to spend a lot of time thinking about what you actually believe.

A lot of people just lie to themselves over and over and over again.

I had this long conversation last night, and the conversation started.

It was like, what's the lie that you're telling yourself?

And we went back and forth, me and this other person, for a while about this.

My lie, I'll just tell you right now, which, again, I'm probably sharing too much publicly, is that I don't need anybody else.
