They're fine with their 24 hours a day.
I'm fine mostly with my 24 hours a day.

That's why most ideas are pretty bad and won't work.

What does it mean to master something and to get good at something?
Well, a lot of people think you have to be the best in the world or you have to be rich and famous at what you're doing to say that you've mastered it.
So yes, I'm not a top 10 comedian or a top 10 chess player.
And I think that's very hard to do.
That's where the whole 10,000 hours or whatever comes in.
But whatever I like to pursue, I like to think that I get into the top 1%.
So I'll just use chess as an example.
There's 600 million people around the world who know the rules to chess.

Same things with business, with investing, with everything that I've pursued.
But I do think it's relatively easy to get into the top 1% of what you pursue.
