There's a different kind of ego looking up going, well, look at them. They're all right. And it's easy for them. And if only I had that, then I'd be... So that happens too. And I think that's as blind as the opposite because it lacks all the empathy and the complexity of what life is like.
Why is it that not 100% of the time, but a very high percent of the time, people that win the lottery discombobulate? Why is that? It's worth pausing about because everyone who plays the lottery presumably wants to win and believes that if they win, life will immediately be better for them. And it's not what happens.

So that's worth thinking about because whether you win the lottery or you just achieve something more than you expected to or things work out for you, you're still in the same situation. And it's like, if you can't manage... level one, why do you think you can play at a level a thousand?

If you're in a computer simulation or if you're playing a computer game and you can't do level one yet, if someone just gives you some hack and now you're in a level a hundred at the same game, why do you think being at the level means you can perform at the level? And so it's a bit of a

I would say it's a slightly tragic thing to wake up to and go, oh, I got to this level, whatever that level is now. and now I have to learn a new set of skills and a new way of thinking. Oh, I've got to do it again.

I've got to do it again. I've got to do it again. Absolutely. And, and, and like, so, so, so there's, I mentioned it previously just with a six minute planning process of, of going from confusion to clarity to creation. But of course it applies way beyond a daily process. This, this, this, I think the acceptance that everybody faces confusion and a level of chaos every day of their lives.

And I was talking to a very successful entrepreneur and investor recently who said, Apple, Google, all of the top brands in the world, all of these companies that we think operate in a certain kind of way. He says, when you work there, this is true. When you work there, you're just dealing with confusion and chaos every day. That's still what you're managing.
